Gerard Healy

[Soidee 1,496]

Is reaching new heights with his man love commentary. After 5 games Majak is now a superstar, yes superstar!

Healy's drooling on radio an television about Nik Nat and Majak is fast becoming farcical.

Don't get me wrong, both these footballers are good to watch when they play well, but FFS, Healy is sounding like a besotted teenage girl rather than a serious educated commentator.

Lift your game Gerard..it's all rather silly!

Yeh, I'm the same. This may as well be a thread about why radios have dials and TV's remotes. Frankly it's pretty hard to listen to any station (tv or radio) without coming across some opinionated or fawning idiot.

Gerard Healy is not worth commenting about, full stop!

Yeh agree wgaf but I hate hearing him repeatedly say how good Howe would be in a better team......so all the good players join Manchester United and Chelsea

Alanis Morrisette take note. This is irony.

He is correct Howe would be a lot better in a decent team

What characteristics to Majak and NicNat have in common? They're both big muscular black guys.

On a completely different topic, Gerard Healy loves Majak and NicNat you say?

Healy is the worst at reverse racism. He has always had a thing for black players. He makes out like, "Oh, look at them, little black fella playing good footy, good on him!"

It's part of why I don't bother listening to him. He represents a consistent stream of wealthy bogans that dominate the AFL media sphere.

Reverse Racism? I take it your not black. I hear this phrase quite a bit lately and it is the biggest crock of a phrase.

Try walking a mile in their shoes and think about it before coming out with that talk.

Why? Surely Majak Daw should be celebrated for his culture and not because of his culture. I do believe you can be over emphatic about someones race and have it draw against their feats.

Not many people talking about how good Tom Lynch is for a slow white bloke or a red head are there! They are talking up his ability and 10 goal haul.

That talk? So your saying we should walk a mile in their shoes because "being black" obviously they have had a harder life than everyone else? Now who's making silly comments?

That's either brilliant satire or utter drivel. I can't quite tell which it is, but I hope it's the former.

Twist it whichever way you choose, it does not change the fact that the phrase is a crock!

I love Gerard! Authoritative and caring voice in the media. I dont mind if he is trying to sell the new star talents. Remember he isn't just commentating for the adult audience. When I was a kid listening to the footy the great characters felt larger than life. A good commentator lets the naive joy flow as well as the considered criticism.

You mean like I was with Liam Jurrah and Hulk Hogan?

Jesus christ I wish we had a player who commentators would fap over.

Jeremy Howe?

Jeremy Howe?

Fair point. Probably more of a casual rub than a full scale fap session but you are correct.
