Broadcaster Fads: The Good, The Bad & The Abandoned.
Was thinking about the various fads that broadcasters have shoved down our throat.
I like to see goals and behinds when they show scores, as if I've not seen the game the accuracy gives me a better or quicker handle on things.
The 'fourth umpire' channel 7 did a decade ago was interesting. As a former seniors umpire, hearing Rowan Sawyers talk is interesting. As a supporter, I don't care for people justifying decisions live, it put the light on the umpires, not the game.
I hated channel 10 taking the countdown clock off at 5 minutes. Hated it.
And you?
