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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
