Commentary "gems"

Featured Replies

Can we switch from Hangman to Wheel of Fortune? Then you could buy a vowel (of which there are three...all different).

very good puzzle.

but ive got the answer, i like the ironing if it.very clever of you.

answer/ nicely dunn.

thank you 10 points for me.

 

guess that clears moonshadow and lordweaver then :mellow:

*sigh*

I was almost preparing my acceptance speech

Tony Shaw tonight

One our of every three times they come out of the back half they score :):):)

 

I've decided that Basil Zempilas is the Play-Dough Bruce Mcaveney.

It's like they synthesised him in a lab, got the proportions slightly wrong and injected him with a near lethal dose of smarminess.

Are you talking Milton the Monster, they got the touch of tenderness, whoops too much!

Heebie and Jeebie. Fearless Fly. Good memories there.

Guantanamo Bay should torture their inmates by making them listen to Darcy ramble on about utter shite.

This was a Cometti Gem:

"He was higher than a patron at a Snoop Dogg concert" (paraphrasing).

Haha, modern version of Rex's "he was higher than Joe Cocker".

 

I don't think it's just me when I say the state of commentary on TV these days is appalling. McAvaney and Cometti are characitures of their former selves, Basil & Hamish are like two preppy morons who think their being clever and are "in" with the jocks, BT & Darcy do I even need to say anything? Dwayne and Tony Shaw? These guys are all meant to be professional commentators but if they're not making snide condescending remarks they're waffling on about who is dating who or how some player is having a Mexican themed birthday party (was on tonight's Essendon/Saints game).

I mean geezus is it to much to ask that we get some commentators who commentate the games and provide us with some real analysis instead of trying to play up their "personalities" and appeal to the female demographic, both of which I am in no doubt they are told to do by the TV execs.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

US and British sports commentators put ours to shame.


Agree, commentate on the game, special comments should be comments, not bloody sermons.

I have favourite commentators in NFL and EPL but not AFL.


Tim Watson: "Jack Viney has his father's DNA."

...whereas Tim's boy has....ASADA??

"What happens from here is the next thing" - BT

Bruce the Goose (ahh, does anyone else remember the 200 Olympics drinking game?) made a great contribution to the commentary world by creating a new term during the Essendon-Collingwood game.

"Aggressivising"


adelaide up by 4 points

Sloane runs in towards an open goal to make it a 10 point lead...

"sloane to put them infronnnt!"

Dwayne. Moron.

Tim Watson: "Jack Viney has his father's DNA."

Classic.

 

Shannon Byrnes is a goalkicker , he kicks a goal . Positive spin on Byrnes , have they watched him play in the last two years ? No insight and mumble through at best , x footballers should not be game callers . And make sure the callers are astute descriptive and leave their opinions usually formed from or leaning towards tabloid fodder/ sensationalisim aside . Its an absolute disgrace .

"The next goal is just so important, isn't it?" About 5 times during the Hawks/Tigers match when it was clear as day the Tigers were going to be torn to shreds.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
