Re: AFL Round 10, 2017 Discussion

Lingy is impossible to listen to .. Firstly "Hawks have a young side" and they are the second oldest side this weekend.
Secondly .."just a minor detail but that could be the difference" so it's not minor then is it !
And if I hear Bruce say "that was Carey like" once more im going to spew up ! He only says it when Carey is calling with him, talk about suck job .
My god he is terrible. Experts ?? Channel 7 is getting worse each week .

Awesome kick into F50 by the Rising Star in the last couple of minutes. What would Caleb have done with that kick?

Surprised to see Sydney allow Hawthorn to play that short uncontested style . Been their trademark
Heeney's shank was significant, as it sucked the air out of Sydney .
Burgoyne turned back time , and losing those two rotations hurt Sydney

Re: AFL Round 10, 2017 Discussion

It doesn't matter whether it's a mark or free kick. If the umpire thinks there is a delay in play, due to injury or the ball being knocked a distance away, they will signal time on. The shot clock person (which is not the timekeepers) will stop the 30 second clock on that signal and start it again when time off is signalled.

Last night, there was no need to signal time on, Dixon wasn't injured, he was just tired and took a while to get up, which ate in to his 30 seconds.

PS - If there is a mark and free kick to the same player, a free kick will always be paid, because advantage can not be paid after a mark.

I've been meaning to ask about that for a while. Cheers.

Richmond please.

He is the worst special comments guy I've ever heard. I can't think of anyone worse. Geoff Leek on the ABC maybe, he just said "Rubbish" and "hopeless" a lot. And Bruce going on about everybody being 'Carey like' when he's sitting next to him is plain weird.

Re: AFL Round 10, 2017 Discussion

Bruce these last two weeks has sunk to a new level of cringeworthy. Has there ever been a commentator tat makes such a huge deal about almost plays or insignificant marks?

Last night Hodge took an intercept mark at the back of the square at the start of the last quarter and Bruce went off about it being a "critical mark" and "telling play" (or something along those lines.

As for Ling, well I said it recently but he is the worst person in the entire football media. Under researched, says nothing, and when he does try and say something it's often poorly phrased (see his comments to martin about feeling that the side in front at the end would win), and incredibly and obviously biased.

Daisy Pearce took his spot on the Geelong match and was fantastic. Concise, clear and informative and her comments were about the game not fanboying over ex teammates.

Just so incredibly under prepared (researched) for each game. Its staggering that he can do it so consistently.

I'll bet that 7 are regretting whatever the length of the contract they signed him to is. Even if it's just this year it means they have to make a call on replacing him and braking up the "commentry team" or continue on fouling up a product they have payed billions for.

They must have given him a trial. Did they not notice that he yells rather than talks, that he has no idea about communicating football ideas or even understand what he's talking about and that he has a very annoying personality trait (he's a wanker). How did all that get past them?

Everything that is wrong with AFL coverage can be pinned down to society being extremely dull and full of brain dead idiots. We're in a bit of an echo chamber on Woof, what we all think is second rate or substandard, is actually what a large portion of the football watching public wants to see.

I don't know why they want to see it, they just do.

Re: AFL Round 10, 2017 Discussion

Bit like what they dish up on the box .
Ling just shits me, and reckon Daisy Pierce is a lot better option .
As for Basil.....

I can't believe Adelaide had 43 shots at goal. Freo were woeful.
