Football Commentators

[Insufficient Intent]

I'd love someone to come up with software or preferably an app whereby you could select a radio station on your phone and have an adjustable delay to available live radio commentary.

The TV action is always seconds later than what you hear on radio, but the delay varies.

That way, you could mute your Foxtel/Ch.7 broadcast irritants and listen to the broadcast crew of your choice, near enough to synced. ABC Radio is usually competent, plus you have the added benefit of maybe additional comments or info about the game when the others are doing ads.

I don’t mind Daisy TBH but 7Sport will no doubt mould her into being mind numbing like the rest of her crew.

On that front, I am still waiting to hear if Hamish McLaughlin is capable of providing anything remotely insightful other than having mastered the art of being completely inane.

I always feel that much dumber having put myself through the torture of listening to their Friday Night Footy coverage.

Given the limited numbers allowed into the grounds at the moment, Hamish is a complete waste of one of those spots. What's the point of him? I'd much rather they allowed an actual supporter like Irene Chatfield or that bloke with the chef's hat (sorry that I can't remember his name) who's been to every game since 1970 or whenever into the ground to watch the game in person instead.

Not ch 7s watch

Bruce McAvaney is so awful now. He's become a carton character footy groupie. Yappy, shrill, full of irrelevant information, plays favourites. He's hubris and hyperbole on steroids. Every half decent snap is a"miracle goal", decent tackles are always "crunching", hands are never less than "slick".
I used to like Peter McKenna, Mike Williamson, Ian Robertson, Doug Heywood and Denis Cometti. VFA - I liked Ted Henry and Phil Gibbs Panel shows: Kevin Coghlan, Harry Sullivan, Tony Ongarello, Chicken Smallhorn and Ray Walker
I really liked the team on Marngrook esp Gilbert McAdam and Ronnie Burns

Gilbert McAdam got a crack on Ch7 recently as a boundary rider and was absolutely woeful, unfortunately.

Just watching the Carlton Essendon game
The blokey b/s, my god
The narrative of the “love tap” on Silvagni and defending a punch to the ribs is just appalling .
Complete cheap shot that should never be defended

It's unbelievable.

I think the Gaff smashing of a jaw was the pinnacle for mine. He did it, he meant it, everyone was climbing over themselves to suggest otherwise but if asked honestly anyone would agree you literally couldn't do what happened with the level of force that it occurred with without it being something Gaff meant to do.

Out of character at the time, sure. But not anymore for Gaff because it was done and it was done on purpose, just like Merret's hit on Silvagni.

Merrett is a little sniper so it was only a matter of time he got caught out.

A few years ago he was being mentioned in the same breath as Bont & Cripps, which looking back was ludicrous, so maybe the frustration of not hitting those heights has started to bubble over.

Playing for that ****stains would also do a person's head in.

The other one that was being pushed into those discussions by his clubs supporters was Matt Crouch. He was dropped last week. Clearly not the same impactful type of player as the above mentioned three but the issues the other talents from that draft have had really highlight just how impressive the short careers of Bont and Cripps have been.

You don’t need an app. Press pause. 5 or 7 seconds later press play. You are now in synch with the radio broadcast.

Are you sure? Radio is live and well ahead of TV

I think most are listening to the radio broadcast via the AFL app anyway (rather than an actual radio) - which is delayed by the time it gets through.

Stupid commentary

Reckons Merrett tried to tackle Silvagni
Seriously ? Everyone tackles with a clinched fist

Maybe It's because that's how everyone tried to tackle Kane that he thinks that's normal?
