    I find it difficult to watch footy on TV now because the commentary is so bad. It makes me angry

    Radio is still ok as long as i avoid Andy Maher

    I must be getting old. But TV Commentary is junk...

    Yep. The old commentors would get into the emotion of the game. Never focus on an umpires decision.

    "The man in white is always right"

    Today the commentary tries to be ahead of the game.

    I get bored.

    Yesterday's gem from Riccuito.

    You could add Matthew Richardson, Wayne Carey and Luke Darcy to that bunch. Not many commentators besides from Dennis and Bruce who really intrigue me these days.

    I actually thought Roo was pretty objective and balanced with his call. I quite like him.

    The others were ordinary, especially dunstall. To call dunstall ordinary is offensive to the word ordinary.

    The AFL now needs to cover nine matches a week on Fox Footy, Seven, Fairfax, ABC, SEN and MMM. That's six outlets, excluding all the interstate broadcasts I don't know about. There are not six good commentators and/or special comments personnel in Australia. No wonder I watch every game with the sound off.

    My dream lineup would be Anthony Hudson and Gerard Whateley calling the play-by-play with Jason Dunstall and Scott Lucas doing the special comments.

    The rest are fairly uninspiring or dreadful (Dwayne Russell).

    Im a big fan of Anthony Hudson. He really calls the game with passion especially the good close ones.

    Bruce and Dennis are just well ahead of the pack.

    Dennis I agree with but Bruce has this terrible habit of trying to squeeze a quick bio in about each player every time they get the ball.

    I like Scott Lucas but he really screwed up last week with Tomlinson during the half time break saying he'd been quite and needed to step up in the second half when he had been subbed off early in the 2nd Q. This was more a resource problem with SEN...

    As far as the Sunday analysis shows go, I steer well clear of TV and listen to Finey and Robert Shaw. I know we get short changed at times but their footy analysis and discussion is streets ahead of 7 & 9.

    As for the nepotism twins Basil (Denis' illegitimate son) and Hamish (the bosses brother), the less said the better.

    Going back, I used to really like the Friday night ABC team of Gerrard & Tim with special comments from Parkin & Schwab.

    Usually can't stand Riciutto but yesterday he did job at hiding his allegiance and gave some decent input.

    So sick of everyone on 7, the language they use, the commercialisation, attempts at being clever and witty that fail miserably. [censored] like "He joins the prestigious club of first goal with second kick" They hardly even spend 50% of the game calling it. They try and squeeze benign stories about players and making conversations with each other at every opportunity.

  • Quote

    It's the worst, all commentary on footy, it's embarrassing and I don't know why 7 and Fox don't get in the ear of some of these idiots and tell them how to do it properly. Just call the [censored] play.

    I usually mute it, but today I was switching between playing Mortal Kombat and the Geelong v Gold Coast game and I heard some of it.

    Jorrod Garlett kicked the most electrifying goal of the round, about 14 bounces running at 90kmph, and the commentator, whomever the [censored] it was called it like he was live at a funeral, Garlett just murdered some kittens and got a Joe the goose in a 60 point lead... No enthusiasm at all.

    I've seen more passion in D grade soft porn.

    On a sort of related note, can we get a show like that goggle box thing that shows fans watching the footy? It would be hilarious.

    Clinton Grybas was my favourite (RIP)

    If I could hand pick a line up to commentate every game I'd just go with:

    Anthony Hudson & Tim Lane for the main call. Two of the few professionals still in the game.

    Michael Voss for Special comments. Loved his work in the media when he was doing that.

    Tiffany Cherry Boundary Rider: Doesn't try and make it all about her which nearly every boundary rider is guilty of! Knows her sports medicine to!

    Lovely guy Clinton Grybas. Worked with him for 2-3 years when the ABC had the rights to the NBL (his other favourite sport)

    Back when 25,000 would rock up to a Melbourne Tigers Game 1997-99

    RIP

    Bruce I'm afraid is not delicious. His rhetorical questions give me the runs.

    Agreed. I would love to have the sound off but find it funny without the crowd and game noise. Wouldn't it be great to have a crowd/game noise on, commentator noise off function

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
