Roaming Brian - Round 4 vs Swans

[What 18,810]

The best 12 minutes of TV you will see this week.

 

 

 

[Jaded No More 68,692]

Legit the most pathetic bit of footy media on any channel at the moment. Which is saying a lot. 

Roaming Brian should be renamed [censored] Brian because he has no idea how to conduct interviews or what to ask players. He cut off Glen Bartlet last night who actually was saying some interesting stuff about membership targets, so he can talk to Josh Mahoneys kid. I mean seriously!

Yeah its terrible.  Its cool to see in the rooms and hear from all the players and coaches after the win though, but BT is the worst.

I know I'm in the minority, but I quite enjoy his few minutes of nonsense in the rooms!

Brilliant - I like the roaming BT segment. Gives some good insights into what the players do after the game and some good light hearted Q&A.  It also has a nervous air that Roaming BT will say or do something highly inappropriate which adds to the experience. 

On a side note, Bruce Mcevaney annoys me to no end. He offers no insight or understanding of the game and simply fawns over players based on their reputation and not on how they are playing or what is actually happening.

He just walked past me in an Elsternwick car park. Has lost a fair bit of weight.

The man just does not stop roaming.

[58er 6,103]

If having to put up with Brian as part of winning I am absolutely happy to include this each week.

Really makes him think he is important but behind the responses there is s good deal of banter some sort of unbelievable mirth and also true footy cliches. Oh and just a hint of information for us fans!

[Demonland 70,598]

Seems more set up now than in the beginning when he was actually roaming looking for someone free to talk to. He actually knew to seek out Marty Hore and where he would be.

[leucopogon 1,518]

As long as he's not forcing bathwater down their throats I say lighten up and enjoy it.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

People always miss the point of this, its meant to be messy and a nice change to the boring interviews.

[Nasher 33,607]

To be honest I prefer Roaming Brian, where he is intentionally being a tool for a bit of light hearted entertainment, to Commentary Brian, where his toolery interferes with the actual call.

I agree completely.

I watched a replay of the final against Geelong a couple of weeks back and he was calling Angus Agnes.

 Segment should be renamed "tool in the sheds"

[old dee 23,560]

When I have to watch 7 I either watch it with no sound or have a radio station for sound. There is a lot to be said for no sound. It is like watching a game live, you don't get commentary at the ground why do we need it at home?

[joeboy 3,162]

Not sure why there’s so much vindictiveness here towards roaming Brian, I found it entertaining and informative 

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

Yeah.....not so good sometimes, but I enjoy seeing some players trying to hide from him. What a laugh! They are probably embarrassed as well. By the way, glad to see Marty Hore's parents were able to find the rooms! Don't worry Marty, if they can't find the rooms at the MCG, us girls will look after you!

I like the sound of the game. Just feels weird watching it in silence. If you could have the sound of the crowd, and the footy hitting the boots, and bodies hitting each other, and the players calling out to each other, without these imbeciles yabbering over the top of it, that would be perfect for me.

Watching the TV with the radio on doesn’t work for me. They’re always out of sync and it drives me spare.

Yes your last point is a good one. But seriously do prefer Bruce and Brian to the sweet sound of silence? I wonder if anyone has done a trial of a telecast sports game without commentary but sounds of the crowd etc?

Yes!

I simply say "Gush"... Def: to speak effusively or with exaggerated enthusiasm

Makes me sick!

Ditto for me.  Best solution is to turn the volume down low so you can easily ignore the actual words the commentators say.  Just use them as augmenting the crowd noise (which they already fake at matches were there are few supporters of one side).

best bit was the end when gawn said 'if we don't do it again in ten days it means absolutely nothing'

[Sir Why You Little 36,757]

I got a laugh out of Brian, at least he knew who everybody was...
