Football Commentators

[Maddog37]

I simply despise Dwayne Russell. Ill informed, biased, brown nosing, unprofessional, lazy, humourless, cliched sycophant.

Bruce is ok when he is not being whimsical.

Cannot stand McAvaney. The dumb questions that he asks ( and no one answers),

You really feel if Bruce could be a better commentator, he would really be a better commentator......Doesn't he?

I love those ones from him.

or....

"If (insert team name) could just kick the next 4 goals they'd be right back in this."

[F'scary]

Have you burnt a circuit board Footscray Robot?
Hunt is the Kerry O'Keeffe of Aussie rules. All about him.

That is too cruel. How can you say that? K'OK (Head) just talks about himself and when he played up while you miss all the action. And then there's the laugh. Y-uk! Rex never did that. I prefer to listen to CLEVER call the cricket than KO'K

Yep that's him... pathetic...

*Team is down by six goals, late in the 3rd quarter - "Boy wouldn't they love a goal right now"...

Hate to say it. I like Lloyd as a commentator.

'Bad Call!'

[always right]

FWIW.....my dream team of commentators;
Main callers
- Commetti
- Hudson
Special Comments
- Loyd
- Harley
Boundary
- Richo

My nightmare team would be;
Main callers
- Dwayne
- Hunt
Special Comments
- Darcy
- Blight
Boundary
- Jakovich

Agree with your dream team.
I like Blighty because he's not obvious, you can tune out to him, watch the game and choose which comments you let in.
Overall, footy commentators should take a leaf out of soccer commentators book and let the play speak for itself FCS, no need for constant commentary. What do they think, we haven't got brains?

I know what you're saying but to me Blight makes the call all about him.....deliberately obtuse just for the sake of it. Massive ego....but no comparison with Dwayne's ego.

I was on the same flight as Dwayne Russell recently and he was wearing some of those bright white beats headphones. Nuff said!

Yeah with that being the case, you can feel like you're being imposed upon. But for me it doesn't get to that point maybe because I grant him special status because of the way he played for SA against the mighty Vics before he played VFL, how he played in the VFL and how he coached. Also those piercing blue eyes coupled with the above, to me give him freak status so I don't get the aforementioned problem when he commentates.
I might get turned off him now however, out of exploring your feelings about him, but I don't think so.

I've never really paid attention to Luke Darcy. What's everyone's problem with him?

Personally I just don't think he adds anything to the call.....no insights, just the same sort of comments week after week. He also has a smug way of talking....I want to like him but he's very annoying.

Might be the way he goes about it.
