BT is costing Ch 7 big time in terms of numbers. Their complaints log book is up 24% on 2011. He is the master of bumbling-isms and wowee-isms which have alienated many viewers. Those that sing his praises are the minority and his long term future is...

    Here's hoping for a good coverage from 7 today. Pray they don't lose the ball and that they give away all those strange camera angles. Probably asking for too much.

    He was quite good last week on croc media.

    I thought they always went for the same footy?

    seriously Bruce should be retired. He just comes out with the same crud weekly.

    I wish i had access to Roy & H.G.

    Remember Mike Williamson. Now there was a man who knew how to call a game.

    Superb.

    absolutely, WYL.

    In those days we had a few non footballer callers, they were very good. It wasn't abut Them, it was about the bloody game.

    Lucky to switch across to Fox after the game and get some good game analysis and inside interviews from Roos.

    I'm happy for Bate and Cale to get another year as long as BT's contract is terminated.

    Thank god for Fox....I never thought I'd hear myself say that.

    I thought Brooooce was calling today?

  • Quote

    Broooooce was, they had BT and Darcy for post game shite.

    rjay I too changed over to Fox after a few mins.

    Having watched the whole season in hd, I was delighted to watch the most important game of the year in standard def. what a disgrace.

    Yep someone should let channel 7 know that their great camera angles from behind the player taking a set shot are pointless if you can't actually see the footy because of their crappy SD broadcast.

    I doubt you'd see the footy in HD either (but I agree that the football should be broadcast in HD) because of the ball blending into the background. And it's made worse when the camera and the ball are both moving. Sometimes I only know its a goal because the ad starts. I certainly don't actually see the goal itself being scored.

    How bad was that, couldn't see the ball at all with that stupid shot.

    As for HD, well that is a joke.

    Yes i was always taught to keep a camera still when panning.

    Sky cam makes me feel ill.

    I wish Ch 7 would listen.

    Got to love the overhead view with the bounces......When do these muppets lose the contract again....

    I'm amazed that people don't understand this is clearly part of an agreement with Toyota to show their logo.

    The fact that no-one notices the logo (I didn't) suggests that companies plastering their names everywhere doesn't really work.

    Lewis Martin the 7 boss is on with KB after 10 this morning and taking calls. Will be interesting to hear the spin he puts on their poor coverage of football. If he's smart he will listen to what the fans are saying and take action, let's hope so.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
