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.

don't you mean ixcillint?

BT tonight: "He out of bounds'd on the full it."

Can someone find a huge sock and shove it in BT's ever-more irritating mouth?

But then we wouldn't have as many entries in this thread.

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.

BT last night: "That's the hill - the standing room seats."

How about one of the callers telling us at half time of Port and Sydney that Port (while behind) were showing they could mix it with the best. They were a game clear on top of the ladder at 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.
