Winners at last

Burgoyne may have been 'silk' as a player, but he's so boring as a commentator.

I wonder if nth players will walk out like some of our players did because of no success. I know Sheezel has signed on and thier ruckman but Zuhar has held of contract talk which is interetsing considering he had a crack at Horne-Francis. 

I feel for nth fans because I remember what it was like being in this position. I wonder how much time Clarko gets before the pressure relaly ramps up on him. 

Sheezel was poorly advised and/or made a poor decision. 

Saints should lodge a complaint about the umpiring.

Disgraceful.

Please just call him Hodge 😂

Thank you!!!  😍

Thanks all for your comments/concerns (?).

My name is actually St John (pronounced Sin-gen) Lascelles Mustafa Nguyen-Smith III. If I was playing AFL, I'm not sure that the commentators would call me by my full name.

Interestingly, I recall Neal-Bullen being called Bullen. It's the opposite of the abhorent behaviour which I have been calling out.  

PS. Don't think this is over !!!

Allow me to continue with my obsession re commentators selectively calling certain players by their first + last names ...

Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews ....

As previously noted, they do it more with players with first names that are more like surnames. 

Thank you for your interest.

lol

No HTB against Daicos despite incorrect disposal 

Of course not. Despite being the most obvious free kick.

I noticed that too. Impressive.

What is Alwyn Davey Jnr doing out there?

There is only one Davey out there. Why do the commentators insist on naming him 'Alwyn Davey Jnr' every time? There's only one player with the surname Davey out there. Thankfully he didn't feature much in the play.

And don't get me started on 'Bobby Hill' !!! 

Had a good laugh at Stringer's/De Goey's expense. Two top class gents. Stringer caught De Goey HTB. De Goey then gave away a 50 metre penalty. Stringer then coolly slotted a point. 

I hate the filth ... especially POS Maynard.

I hate Essendon too, but not nearly as much as I hate the filth.

Disco. Makes a genuine contest, can mark and kick straight. And seems reasonably good 'below the knees' and has some 'smarts' about him. Other than that he's not much good.

 Who was he playing on most of the time? 

Tigers $4.90 on Sportsbet.

I think the Demons will win, but those odds are well over the odds !!

Thanks for your report KM. Informative ... as always.

I had a sneaky look at the Tigers' bigfooty thread on this match.

I didn't realise how intellectual their supporters are with references such as "shemons" and "fatracca". Brilliant!!

Going back to the filth match, why did the commentators insist on calling Hill "Bobby Hill" when he was the only player on the ground with that surname?

They did it EVERY TIME he got the ball, well other than the 2 times (in a row) that Der-Wayne called him "Bobby".

 I think this issue is more interesting than any discussion about the Swans/GC snoozefest.

I think I'll pop onto the Crows forum in BigFooty.

Wonder what they're saying about Rachele?

Adelaide's dropped marks are proving very costly.

Richelle is a frustrating player to watch.

I reckon there are times when he does deliver, and his best is very very good. But for some inexplicable reason when he does ordinary things or even errors the commentators continue to gush and froth. 

lol ... he just kicked a pretty good goal!

Who do i want to win?  Like choosing between getting cholera and typhoid.

Hey, you've pinched my line!!

PS.  That's ok ... 

There's only one player on the ground with the surname Davey.

Despite that, Brayshaw keeps calling "Alwyn Davey Jnr" every time he gets the ball.

Dawson BOG so far ... he's great.

Look at it from BT's perspective Mel. 

lol ... BT's intelligence bar would be very low.

Adelaide fumbling so much.
