A cringeworthy performance by him today. I estimate he called the wrong player at least ten times with the worst being when he called Hogan 'Holmes'.

Seriously, Fox.

Can never get an indigenous player's name right. Jetta was Garlett and vise versa all day

He did call Leanne Dick Leanecock. And let's be honest, he could have butchered Dean Kent. Swings and roundabouts.

Even Salem was Jetta!

I want to watch the replay and count how many times we got a name wrong. Atrocious!

Don't be so hard on him. Like I said in the gameday thread - at least he never called Jetta as Oliver or vice versa.

Just be glad he didn't call Davey....or worse the wiz.............or even worse Sean Charles

Really ! Is this the best you can come up with after a great win, most commentators get the players wrong at the start of the season, just as the players need practice so do the commentators !

I really like him as a caller, but to mistake Nathan Jones for Nathan Brown is inexcusable.

Relation?

Pompous buffoon. He was past his use-by date when he retired the first time.

it's a practice game for the commentators too

is he unwell ???

Said for a while that he's too long in the tooth for the job now. But you'd still take him every day of the week and twice on Sundays over Dwayne.

Nathan Brown though. Seriously Sandy. You can get the captain's name right surely.

I like Sandy, but he should stick to Saturdays in the studio throwing to the games.

Today was not isolated, he did the same thing last year as well.

He was all over the shop.

Love was a bit much

Had it in mind to start a thread (beaten to it).

My highlight was when he called Ben Kennedy "Garlett".

Honestly, why do we need to hear from him again? Its not like he is adding to the coverage.

Disagree.

As much as I detest Dwayne Russell, Sandy Roberts is horrendous. For mine there is no worse commentator. He has no idea what is going on, he doesn't even know the players' names. Russell is annoying but does at least know who's out there. 

He is a useless PLICK who is past his use by date. 

Also he shows no respect to the MFC at all and that shows through his pathetic commentary.

Yeah nah, Dwayne is the worst. He's the only commentator that has ever caused me to turn off a game. Annoying doesn't begin to describe him.

Derwayne is great when Melbourne are winning

you can feel his pain. No idea why he has such disdain?

maybe it is 186. He did play at the Cattery

There is no excusing his performance today. Surely there are better, younger commentators around.

Sandy is a saints supporter isn't he?

After today's display I don't think Sandy would even know who he supports.

 

His commentating today (and last week) was on par with his failed 'kooky' Micallef style comedy show on Fox Footy.
