Not a commentator but our very own Stevo who had borrowed a pair of my freinds glasses to walk around the crowd at Whitten Oval , not sure if it was leading up to the preliminary final or grand final.
Bring back the biff

So many questions.
Why did he borrow your friends glasses? Why didn't he have his own glasses? Why did he need glasses? Was it because they were bulldog glasses? Did he give them back?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Yeah pretty much because they were bulldog glasses, he was offered, he loved them. A little fun in a happy environment.
Gave them back later.
Just a jovial moment.
I told him to pose with them on so he did and I took a couple of pics.
He wandered around with them for awhile getting a few laughs.

Re: Football Commentators
Was going to start a new thread (in the AFL forum maybe) but figured maybe this one is the best place for it
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-...mayor/12778660
Apparently Basil Zempilas not only ran for but won the election to be Lord Mayor of Perth.
Not sure this is the right place for this but it is kind of AFL related

Yeah, on a platform of sending homeless people to the gulag apparently. What a dick.

That's what I heard originally too but someone come out today and said Zempilas actually did some research/had someone talk to him about it and he has had his eyes opened and has changed his view on the matter for the better, so kudos to him I guess for not being a complete dick.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

That's a relief if true and reflected in his actions. The homeless stuff was the only thing I'd heard about his candidacy before I saw he won.

One thing I’m not looking forward to is Macavaney, BT and Duck calling the game.

He might be forced to pick a favourite and it will be whoever’s team is leading at the time.

Re: Football Commentators
So I don’t pay much attention to the channel 7 commentary team, but I do like hearing Pearce and Richardson’s insights.
But twice last night both Richardson and Pearce made astute observations which BT somewhat ignored but then later in the call rehashed them as his own.
Whilst I’m at it, they actively have demoted the best footy mind in the business in Jimmy Bartel because of his marriage indiscretions but happy promote Wayne Carey and previously Leigh Matthews.
Just another example of what is wrong with channel 7 coverage.
More of an In Bruges guy?

I can't believe you've said all this and yet failed to mention the biggest blight on the commentary planet, Brayshaw.
Also, while I acknowledge that Hodge is a pretty good footbal mind, he needs some diction lessons. They might as well say "now we're crossing to a drunk guy in the crowd so we can hear how he orders a kebab on the way home after a big night out". Just total mumbled ramblings.
