What's the point of having someone on the boundary asking valid questions if they are just ignoring her?

I gotta say, as crap as the canned audience is, the guy controlling the up and down volume button has a better feel for the game than the callers.
Quite simple
It’s never been worse
Taylor yells , Bruce is getting creepier , Brayshaw is useless
Darcy sits on the fence .
Where’s Basil ? ;)
If I was Bruce’s wife I would be worried about him working with Carey, all we need is Rioli in the box and Bruce’s voice would reach operatic heights.
And tonight he mentions Jane Bunn texting him the weather, he is creepy.
My loathing of Bruce started the day he commented, after a difficult goal was missed by Chris Grant, "Carey would have got that".
Now that they work as joint commentators, Bruce definitely plays a suppositorial role.
Bruce is so fawning, so childish in his hero worship it is embarrassing. He has no self-awareness. Just horrible to listen to.

Yeah I think Soup posted that in another thread from last week, definitely belongs here.
The broadcast needs a massive shake up from the jingoistic and simplistic rubbish we get now, and I really hope the AFL aside from dollars actually looks for real innovation, not mega wall bullshit innovation, to shift the dial on the TV product to make it more sophisticated.
When the virus hit and assistant coaches and club folks were stood down for this year and in many cases likely for next and beyond, I figured it would be a great opportunity to bring some of these people into the broadcast space. They'd probably do work for free to maintain a profile in some cases, and the product would be much better for it.
But no, we get shots of fans at home, another segment on Danger lusting after a premiership and in jokes amongst ex players fawned at by sycophantic perverts like Bruce and Hame.
Having been away and not exposed to AFL commentary to any large extent last year, and only catching a Dogs game each week, sometimes without sound, I can assure what we experience on FTA with Taylor and Bruce is definitely *!*!*!*!ing weird. A year away is all it takes to realise it. Think about it in terms of how ridiculous some of the overzealous soccer commentary sounded from some South American nations in the nineties. It's that bad or worse.
Danger danger danger danger danger danger, Butler, danger danger danger danger danger, Butler Butler. Seriously, I mean that isn't valuable on an informative or entertainment level. It's just shouting, it happens every week, and it's pathetic.
Now they're talking about decathlons. Anything they possibly can to avoid talking about the game.
Name me a sport as quick as Australian Rules where the commentators talk about that shit.
