Commentary shark jumping - try hards trying too hard

Featured Replies

“If you’re on 10 on your amp where can you go from there?” Amp. goes to 11 (This is Spinal Tap) - Bing video – the answer was 11. It seems our football commentators are channeling Nigel Tufnel and or the Fonz.

Please forgive this boomer pedantry but I can’t stand this commentary cleverness arms race. Here are my nominations for annoying commentary overreach.

5 April Fox Melb vs GWS – “buzzing around like a mossy – Kozzy!” Kelli Underwood

18 April Melb vs GWS (?) – “with Grace - Kelly!” - Anthony Hudson – Josh Kelly goal

18 April Melb vs GWS – “slick kick, slick hair that’s why they call him slick Fritsch” – Kelli Underwood - do they?

25 April Melb vs Rich – “a millimetre either way and it was out of bounds on the full” Luke Darcy ANB set shot from the boundary line which went through the middle – actually a millimetre either way and it was easily still a goal

1 August Melb v GC – “a piece of football artistry” Kelli Underwood – GC player kicks ball in the air for a goal from half a metre out

1 August Melb vs GC – “he’s enjoying himself to the Max” – Kelli Underwood – Max Gawn kicks a goal

1 August Melb vs GC – “ Kozzie’s pickin them apart” – Kelli Underwood – Pickett kicks a goal

..and the winner is Kelli Underwood!

Poor Kelli, shes never been the same since the " little master" retired. 

Actually she's become more painful

I've never heard more people say they watch football on mute these days.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?
