Biased commentators



Recommended Posts

Collingwood were just far superior. They converted their opportunities, and were making the most of their inside 50’s. We don’t do that. We haven’t got a long time - years. It’s frustrating to watch us. I usually go have a shower in the last quarter expecting to check the scores and see we’ve dropped another one.

My favorite BTism of the night was when Tracc delivered lace out to BBB on the boundary while positioned at about CHF.

All BT could go on about was how effectively Pendlebury was manning the mark and how him asking the umpire if Tracc had played on had affected Tracc’s kick.

Let me repeat that it was Tracc who delivered a centimetre perfect kick to BBB when any other kick, if over cooked, would have gone out of bounds on the full.

But the real highlight was Pendles for asking if Tracc had played on.
 

Sterling stuff indeed. 🙄

The commentary at the ground was pretty ordinary too. Holding the ball is the most misunderstood rule in any sport. 

That's because of the inconsistent umpiring of the rule.
JJs was a shocker for eg.

I find I am far less stressed out losing while live at the game vs watching at tv. I put this 💯 on the commentators. It’s disgusting. 

I always put that down to the fact that you get a much better feeling for the game when you are at the ground as opposed to watching on the telly.  Certainly see much more of it.

It really was. horrible decision. Nothing said about it on the commentary either. 

That would have interfered with the pro Pies narrative. Can't have that.

Johnson throw in the last. Genuine up and under scoop … which is a throw. I think BT called it and was aghast that others thought it was ok. 

Johnson’s mark over the line … the bobble  Brayshaw seemed to be ignoring the small fact that it was controlled only after across the line (as did the bunker)  

Pendles and Lipinski could cold holding the ball Not even a “well well well” after Viney got pinged 2 minutes earlier 

Hodge seemed to be auditioning for a Pies assistant coach role such was his over enthusiastic celebration at every Pies goal  

It’s all spin and spin for feral Pies supporters to salivate over but it’s sickening for the opposition supporters

I must admit that it is more enjoyable watching the game live than listening to the dumbed down TV commentary teams.

Collingwood have a lot of hype around them right now, commentating, umpiring and social media is case in point

And just throw Carlton into that mix. What a quagmire.

No wonder Fox wants to replace 7’s commentary with its own.  

They are worse. Any Vic team playing an interstate team at the G or Marvel on Fox is basically Press Red for Ed.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
