At Least I Saw a Flag 5,346 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 He's a smarmy bastard. My God, that simpering grin ... He thinks he's intelligent, but his mangling of the English language at times outs him as a meathead. His big stupid glasses simply confirm that he is a meathead who mistakenly thinks he is intelligent. He is a living example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. 2 1 1 Quote

Might have a soft spot similar to when Roos commentates us That commentary where he hoped McCartin was ok was fair enough in his concerns but how Jetta didn’t get some love for his courage is beyond me I was incensed when he mentioned that McCartin had a history of head injuries, but failed to acknowledge that Nev came close to retiring due to concussions. Ignorant or biased I don’t care - just poor commentary and poor research and knowledge of the game. 4 hours ago, Win4theAges said: Watson he's a tool, wasn't he a great coach lol. absolute [censored] of the highest order.

Although in general how bad was BT, didn't know about Tracc's finger, said numerous times that Webster caused the 50 meter penalty which went to the saints (even argued with the others when they pointed out it couldn't have been a teammate the ran through the protected area. Was the guy drunk, or is he just that stupid? I had no idea what he was talking about, and clearly he didn’t either. As regards Tracc’s digit - it was all over the newspapers, and most footy media. IsBT so wrapped up in his own opinion and his own world that he doesn’t follow the news? 1 Quote

Did you hear his comments the other week "Everyone is saying its Melbourne's turn to win a premiership, i don't know why everyone is saying it, it's not their turn" or words that effect. He's a yes man no opinions of his own. It's a fair point though there're no turns - earn it Quote

Pennant St Dee 13,428 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Tim Watson who today said Petracca is one day going to break a game open Tom Mcdonald just adds another dimension to their forward line Melbourne are just applying so much pressure getting numbers to the contest and their set up is preventing St Kilda from moving the ball quickly Yeah he hates us 5 Quote
Adzman 2,154 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Why does anyone care about Watson? Honestly he was one of the worst coaches of his generation. Let him stroke it over the saints, doesn't change the result. 1 1 Quote

I think too many are making it personal with Tim, nothing he said about the dees today was over the top, or personal most people like to see the underdog win. The saints are really bad they tried their guts out to day, which is even more concerning for them, I always thought that they never really hit the bottom when Lyon left, they are now there it starts from here their rebuild. 2 Quote

And coached at the highest level. I reckon he may know a bit more about the game than you and me. Also played his 1st AFL game as a 15yr old. So I'm tipping book learnin' wasn't a priority. 2 Quote

It is also his punishment." As other's pointed out, he barracked for the Saints today and will go home disappointed. And that is the pattern of his life for more about a decade now. Well I watched it, listened to him and was unaware of any bias Quote
Leoncelli_36 2,264 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 There was one point when the Saints finally got out in space and his comment was "here we go, come one" hahahaha. If that is impartial commentary then I am Santa Claus. Quote

Makes for a far more entertaining telecast when it's close. True by and large, though I can recall many occasions when we were getting done when the commentators chose to put the boot in rather than coach so enthusiastically - perhaps we deserved it. However the amateur coaching Watson and co were doing started before it was clear who would dominate. And it was pretty much all they talked about in the first part of the game. If only we could have the option commentary replaced by the umpires' mike. 2 Quote
poita 3,941 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 I'm not sure how some of the people on this website function in the real world. "Mummy, the mean man on the TV didn't say nice things about my football team". If you don't like the commentary, turn the sound down. 3 Quote
