    Re: Round 1 2016 Discussion

    Dangerfield was incredible
    Crows fans might need a bex and a lie down after seeing that.
    Geelong's back 6 is still lacking run for me, and I'd be inclined to go in with a small forward line against them.
    Hawthorn were off to a degree, and played spasmodically

            That sounds pretty bad.

                        Footy commentary is so abysmal at times. Been downhill since Peter McKenna got shafted.

                            Fox Footy are not world's best practice by any means. Likewise Ch 10 and Ch 9 when they had the footy were far from perfect. But all of them at least try to provide some proper analysis to the commentary and tend to let the game speak for itself.

                            In stark contrast Ch 7 treat the game like it is another one of their piss-poor reality TV shows. The 'analysis' they provide is generic and obvious, they shamelessly try and make the commentators the stars of the coverage (each with their own annoying personality type, like we are supposed to vote for them to stay on the show or something), and they take the viewers on unwanted excursions with their extended puff pieces during the breaks instead of actually telling us what happened in the game and why. Oh, and Standard Definition went the way of the dodo bird years ago - it is insulting to the viewers to not provide HD coverage so as to save a few pennies. Here's a tip - if you want to save money, instead of having 7 commentators/boundary riders per game, get rid of 4 of them, none of whom offer anything meaningful to the coverage.

                            I despise them.

                                If only teachers and I suspect police were treated with proper respect then the umpires would have less of a problem.

                                        Dangerfield 44 disposals, at 65% efficiency. Compare that to JJ and Biggs at 35 disposals but 80 plus efficiency

                                            I love JJ and Biggs but I'd trade them both for Dangerfield and run away.

                                                Dangerfield = 21 CP's.

                                                Biggs + JJ = 15 CP's

                                                    I think Dangerfields game was outrageously good but he must have missed at least 6 easy handball targets. Not as perfect a game as some have made out. Still a clear best on ground.
