Commentary "gems"

It sure sounded like 25K from where I was standing at the game. The important thing was that the performance of the team was achieved in front of a near 60K crowd and will give the players a taste of the future if they want it.

 

Sandy just needs to get some practice in. They have had him in the bloody main studio up till now haven't they?

It's sort of a tag team combo with him, Eddie, and Huddo swapping around. I think Sandy tends to do mainly Melbourne games. I reckon his mistakes are simply about research, but mixing up Salem (no 3, Lebanese background) with JKH (no 24, indigenous background) is just woeful.

Eyesight on the way out, probably goes to the same optometrist as the umpires.

 

Another Eddie one...on his show on Fox Footy last night he was talking about Toby Greene and then made a point of correcting himself to say Toby "Breene".

Riccuito (15 minutes in last week): "you just wonder how long Roosy will persist with Howe back there, you just that he is much more value to the side as a forward than a defender"

good one DH thats why you get the big bucks


Sandy Roberts calling Matt Jones ... Terlich twice.

Then about a quarter later.

Good to see Terlich and Jones together this time. LOL

He aint afraid to take the PI55 out of himself.

We all remember Leanne Dick?

Brereton - "It's a big two point lead."

King - "It'd be one of the biggest wins for the year" (that would be Collingwood beating a less-fancied team at home).

 

Not quite commentary but Richmond mis-spelled Deledio's name on the banner this week.

'Delidio'

Morons

That is excellent.

IT'S been nigh on 27 years since Sandy Roberts made his famous gaffe, but it's still hilarious, so it will continue to make silly lists like this. The fresh-faced Robbo was MCing the 1982 Mount Gambier Cup meeting, when he took the microphone and proceeded to invite the reigning Miss Australia to the dais to present the time-honoured cup. That would be reigning Miss Australia Leanne [censored], whom Roberts introduced as, wait for it, "Leanne [censored]".

No going back from that one, Sandy. No "just a quick slip of the tongue" there.

It's a gaffe that never seems to die - just last year, Roberts was reading out the Collingwood team on the Channel Seven news, and the team included the newly recruited Brad [censored] and Shannon Cox. "It's amazing how things come back to haunt you," he joked afterwards. For the record, Leanne [censored] is married with three kids, and is now Mrs Leanne Cockerill. True story.

Note: Miss Oz was Leanne [censored]. Sandy introduced her as C0ck.

Note 2: Leanne [censored] is censored FGS, Dlck may not be, maybe.

Excluding all the names Sandy Roberts got wrong, as a whole it was great to hear him calling games again.

Why? Because he was just calling the game and not getting caught up in all the other rubbish that other commentators get involved in.

I thoroughly enjoy listening to Sandy - his tone is spot on the cast majority of the time.

'Drain' Russell: "mark of the year". Often for the third time in the match.

Not so much 'commentary' but still worthy of a mention have to be Barrett's "Sliding Doors" articles every Friday.

Without doubt, the worst and most frustrating writing I have come across from a "professional."

It's hard to read with wincing. Get a load of this, if you dare.

Somebody obviously got too much praise from their mum whilst they were growing up.

That sliding doors stuff is a solid 7-9 minutes of writing each week by an intern that Barrett 'over sees'.

It's utter rubbish.

Well, I had a look at 'Sliding Doors' for the first time. I'm quite impressed. He's basically lifted the content from Demonland and presumably each other club and found someone willing to pay him for it.

 

Had to laugh when Finey on sen called Vernie Bince .

Just as well he wasn't calling that Gold Coast Rugby convert at the time.

The bloody auto-censor has spoiled your post.

Has anyone else noticed bruces voice when he gets excited by a passage or a goal? He gets his voice really low and adds in his best masculine growl, its hilarious. if you havn't noticed it, listen for it.

I notice it far too often, I struggle listening to him now.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
