Football commentary does my head in

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. ?

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

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
