To give someone credit to do their job is my problem. Why do you get ‘credit’ for that??

Makes sense thanks. But the current 'boys club ' commentary rarely behaves in this fashion which is why the bt gf approach stood out for me.

    I think Daisy is amazing, but know a couple of people that can't stand her in commentary.

    When I press them as to why, all it really boils down to is that they don't like hearing a female voice commentating a male sport.

    It doesn't matter to them what she says or how good she is as they cant get past the voice.  

    🙄

    I'd take Daisy and her  opinion even over Derm and Carey. Why..... she makes sense.

    If someone does  their job well they deserve credit. It makes them feel good and enhances the work situation.

    Would not like to work under you if you are boss and don't  complement your staff on a job well done.

     BT is a buffoon and believes he knows more than others about footy. He also suffers from a consistent case of inaccuracy.  Couldn't even get the years gap right after the Dogs 2016 Premiership win. 
    BT has mellowed since working on Friday Night with Bruce McAvaney about 5 years ago. But he still is conceited and hard work in the box with others.

    Brayshaw and BT was the worst GF Ch 7 commentary ever and Daisy rescued it with Hodgee. Abbey is also very ordinary. 

    Hope they recruit others but dear they will stick with the same old group.

    Dunno, I quite like Hodge. Bit rough around the edges but honest and direct. 

    Hodgy was genuinely excited about our G.F win last year!

    Great news! According to The Age, “Eddie McGuire steps away from calling footy”.

    What a wonderful day. BT… You’re next.

    Fair enough. It was always going to be hard for Eddie to admit that the Queens Birthday match this year would be Collingwood’s Grand Final.

    A great pick-up. 

    But to be fair I do appreciate that Eddie gave this game as a home game for a number of years to give us a leg up in the dark days.

    But as a financial powerhouse now, its good to give back this year to the struggling Pies and give their players some 'finals-like' experience.

    Naturally in the Call Daisy will be giving her insights on just what casued the Pies implosion on the day.

    Finally achieved his dream of watching the old enemy win a flag. What else could he accomplish?

    I wonder why? Is Eddie distancing himself from Fox altogether? Could this mean that Nine will be making a play for the TV rights when they next become available and Eddie will be part of the team preparing the bid?

    cos news weren't prepared to keep paying him over $1m a year while he took 6 weeks holiday in the middle of the football season

    I always look forward to the commentary of isha guha and Lisa stelaker in the cricket. Always have an insightful comment on the play.

    People who don't like daisy have not listened to her and bucks on SEN.

    Daisy has a great tactical brain and must be a great communicator.

    She would be an asset to any organisation in the leadership and development space. I was surprised at how great a thinker and communicator that Bucks was after hearing him regularly on SEN

    Yes, @defuture15, Lisa Sthalekar speaks well, makes insightful comments, and was a successful all rounder in her playing day.  And Daisy is awesome in so many ways.  Don’t understand the negativity.

    Interesting article in today's The Guardian complimenting (yes, praising) Channel 7 for recognising the past limitations in its commentary teams and style and how it has recruited some new talent to refresh their product. I hope Jason Bennett, Alistair Nicholson and Daisy Pearce continue to be regular commentators and not just occasional fillers-in.

    I clicked on an AFL article on Daisy this week on fb and made the mistake of reading the comments underneath and they were all men complaining about how they’re sick of her screechy voice when commenting and how they’re sick of AFLW always being about her so they hope the Dees get smashed this week. Sad people.

    Daisy - articulate, thoughtful, intelligent & insightful.

    BT - loud, excitable & inaccurate!

    The AFL Supporters Survey released today, and hightlighted on The Age back page, talks about, among other things,  fans fed up with the boys club commentary ruining the watching spectacle on tele.

    Who'd have thought?

    But the good news is Ch 7 is allocating this season Daisy Peace to the Friday night commentary team for special comments, moving Wayne Carey to Saturday.

    How good is that, but a good call by 7 after Daisy's suberb comments contribution on the GF. At times it was emabarrassingly good. Well done to 7 on that.

    She even had BT saying during the GF's 3rd quarter "....Daise , can you explain just what's  happened...?"  So she did.

    Priceless.

    At one stage when I tired of re watching " bang bang bang....bang!" I went through the game to listen to BT talking from the cheat sheet he must bring to games to try and match to what he thinks is happening and the waited for Daisy to gently correct him a little later so as not to embarrass him too much more than he does to himself.

    Actually it was only 3 or 4 times but it was great fun and highlights how useless BT is.

    She's a lot more careful working with Hodge

    Doesn't he own a farm as his "day job"?

    I dont imagine farms for ex football players are usually about making a living wage.

    They do it just  because that's what their mates all do...and good luck to them I say.

    I don't criticise BT for being on a good wicket. It's just that he's a terrible caller and surely someone/anyone else could do better.

    They all have a use by date ,we naturally get tired of them; it's just he never should have had a start date

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
