Why does he call Salem “Sahrlem”?

Cos he is from Adelaide and they speak weirdly over there..

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

@Cards13, I know it [censored] me to tears when he does.

I noticed last week Geelong had a player named “men and gola” too, according to Bruce.

[Cards13 9,117]

It’s like the 12th man and Graheemie Labrooy.... “His name is Graeme Max”.

Think how irritating it will be when he starts drooling over our emerging MFC stars in future.  Cringeworthy. 

He's already done it with his Viney ! Viney !!! Viiiiiiiiiiiiney !!!!!! effort. 

You sometimes want to give him a slap, but I'll let that one slide.

Viney, Jones... whats not to like? You must be a huge fan of yourself!

Fan of myself just because I have a different view, gee at least I can say they had did alright so don't be a [censored] sunshine!!!!

[Red and Bluebeard 2,089]

Just realised that when Gunston hit the post from 10 metres or whatever that he was only one second or so away from being crunched by Viney. No wonder he missed!

At times during the call, he called "Sahrlem" as you said, but also "Slahlom" at one point.

I also get turned off by his ott growling voice @bingers when something exciting happens... that and his constant need for positive feedback... "Didnt he"?, "Wasnt it"?, etc etc. One of the best sporting brains in the world statistics wise, but his days as a caller have passed him by.

Must retire from calling soon or more people will listen to radio while watching TV.

Yeah, without that big chase from Viney Gunston would've bounced and walked into open goal...

Truely a 1%er that was game changing from our fearless leader!

Then there were 2 massive chases in the game because I thought Hibberd's chase on Gunston to deny him the soccer goal earlier was a significant moment in the match.

Id love to know now what the "joke" was that Roughead told the huddle just before the start?

Nice set-up for the jokers on here but in all seriousness I think he would have been reminding the Hawks that last time the Melbourne Football Club made it to a prelim our current starting midfield were still watching Barney the Dinosaur and wetting the bed . . .

Poppy .... roughie .... what a fool.

His demented growling is the worst. "Viney viney Viney" (in stupid growling voice) after he did brilliantly to kick it to the hot spot. (Brayshaw marked and goaled.)

I'm sorry. The cringiest piece of commentary for the weekend goes to Luke Darcy when De Goey took a mark. He sounded like a constipated nuffy. "De Gooooooooeeeeeeeeeeyyy!!!!!"

I'm cringing just thinking about it.

Darcy makes BT sound like a half decent caller.

I actually didn't mind the Viney call. I'd argue it's spine tingling. Darcy just sounds like a try hard though when he did it.

For years this [censored] has bent us over. 

But right there, he had nothing to say. 

Geeeez I love footy. 

Last time I spoke to him he really laid into Melbourne as being soft. Should run into him again soon so I shall just smile - widely.

To bad for us, Bruce is commentating the cricket now.

He wasn’t wrong, we were soft for years. I think Hawthorn played ahead of themselves this year and will go backwards next season.

Some chat about Oliver being "looked at" for flopping. I was there but didn't see it. Any thoughts?

More chance of Poppy or Sicily or someone else (can't remember who it was) getting done for staging

Lmao, I distinctively remember that piece of commentary also. It’s like he was still yelling out his name whilst he was lining up ?

Next time you see him, give him a punch in the nads from the people of Victoria

[jnrmac 20,154]

Bruce is simply embarrassing. The first rule of a good commentator is that its not about themselves. Its about calling the game properly. We can all see whats going on. Stop being a fawning sychophant.

Better still. Times up. Retire now.

Unfortunately my night was marred by racist remarks directed at Salem and Jetta by a group of Hawthorn fans in Q1. Left me feeling down for the remainder of the match, but it was a great win by the boys. Go Dees

That from 'supporters' of the team carried by Burgoyne and Rioli for so long.

Hypocrites.

He was, actually, [censored] scared.

Where is the "What they're saying at Glenferrie Rd" thread?! It's my favourite part of the last 4 weeks!
