Rex Hunt was an abomination as a commentator. Tim Lane the best.

 

What a contrast.

Absolutely. 
Rex was finally sacked last week for being obnoxious

    I can't stand it any longer.

    So I've decided to start a thread so I have somewhere to vent my frustration about the standard of football commentary each week.

    The alternative is going crazy.

    Please feel free to use this as your football commentary does my head in safe space

    I’m with you mate, commentary has never been more unlistenable. When it’s not boys club garbage it’s sappy hometown crap like what we saw on Thursday night. Not one mention about how some of the many frees against us might have been stiff. It’s like it was a direction not to point out the noise of affirmation . I also laughed when one of them said Port were happy racking up uncontested marks at one point as if the game was on their terms.
     

    Then you’ve got fabulous BT himself. A man more concerned with looking at seagulls in the last quarter at Marvel and talking about the food they might be interested in at the snack bar. Another thing that drives me insane with Brian is how he lingers on moments way too long while the crucial play is still going. Might have been Parfitt last week dropping a sitter and while BT is going on and on about how it was “An ab-sol-ute soda” Parfitt is actually making a second effort and influencing the play to the point where Hamish McLachlan has to jump in on BT’s address to the nation to say that he might actually make up for it here, which he did by kicking to a man in the 50.

    The worst is JB and BT together. Just a memory lane p*ssing contest. Hamish isn’t a world beater but give me him with one of those every day over the alternative. 
     

    I could go on into fox footy coverage but will save that for later.

    Obnoxious is putting it mildly. ?

    Special comments by Nick Dal Santo in this afternoons game:

    “Koschitzke (Hawthorn forward) kicked 5 goals earlier in the year against the Hawks”

    Like they need own goals to be on the wrong end of a hiding. ?

    I don’t think old mate Drew will commenting a game any time soon.

    Dang I missed that, he was a great commentator. Puts a lot of the current ones to shame.

    Gerard Healy’s just joined the fun.

    He just called the Freo Dockers the “Dogs”

    Better than when he called the Gold Coast Suns the Gold C****s

    Luke Darcy isn’t trying to give a short biography of each player every time they get the ball tonight which is a nice change.

    Why would he? He'd have to know something about Brisbane or St Kilda first.

    Pretty sure that was on Mother's Day too. Wash your mouth out Gerard. Huddo's reaction is classic.

    The term “drink your own bath water” certainly applies to:

    BT

    Brayshaw

    Darcy

    Ling

    Brereton

    Eddie

    Commentary team I would prefer:

    - Anthony Hudson

    - Daisy 
    - Leppitsch

    - Hodge

    I was in Vicpol  for 12 years, he was hated by everyone, and universally described as a thug who would whack a bloke in cuffs, and other gutless stuff. Was a shame the toe cutters never managed to charge him. Lucky for him his era was pre camera phone.

    The way some of these special comments guys are dressed is beyond me. Are you trying to be cool? Coz you failed. Are you trying to look professional? Coz you failed. Are you trying to look like a vegan hipster from Brunswick? Great success!

     

    PS- if Luke Darcy is growing a middle aged man mullet, I am starting a petition to pixilate his head while on screen.

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
