Re: Football Commentators
Bruce is like fingernails scraping on a blackboard to me. It's excruciating listening. I squirm in my seat. He almost makes footy unwatchable. And his creepy salivating way of just saying the names of players he loves is vomit inducing. Daaaanger. Cyyyyyril. Duuuuuusty. etc.

The other thing that is creeping into the commentating game and 7 are the worst of it is the random unrelated conversation that occur.
As there are too many commentators there as it is, they feel the need to break into some inane conversation when they lose interest in the game. Bruce and Brian are the main culprits.
Bruce and Taylor would rather talk about anything other than what's happening on the ground, and the reason why is that they don't understand the game. It's moved beyond them, and they can't add any value.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Imo she is not the best commentator and her on air voice is awful.

You'd think by now he would have learnt to stop asking, wouldn't you?
You just feel like the time is up for him to retire, I reckon.

I see what you did there.
I reckon he'e not bad on the horse racing coverage, knows his stuff for someone not actually in the industry.

Reckon fans are getting a bit tired of it, eh?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Ridiculous she lost the job in the first place. Should be calling every week she is excellent.

Couldn't agree more she's an absolute pro. Imagine her paired with BT....he wouldn't know what to do.
Best thing Bwian ever did was dropping the F bomb calling Boyd's GF goal. I laugh/cry every time.
For the unitiated :
PS : Did that really happen? Feels like a dream seeing the GF badge on our shirts, the big dogs logo painted on the 50.

Thete is no footy commentary here. This is a radio show.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Richie Benaud is universally respected as the best Australian sports commentator off the back of a career of largely knowing when to shut up.

This is possibly the worst I’ve heard this year. They worry more about goal reviews and slippery conditions than anything else.
How the seven head honchos think this is what the average punter wants is beyond me.
More of an In Bruges guy?

BT doesn't know half the West Coast backline - he wouldn't know Rotham from Brander from Ainsworth. As a footy commentator, the absolute base level of expectation surely is knowing who the players are.
