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.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
