What's Your Footy Bugbear?

Re: What's Your Footy Bugbear?

For me its Bruce always asking questions
Hes playing well isnt he?
They need another goal dont they?
He seems to have his measure doesnt he?
Just call the game Bruce!!!!

Yep....

And his constant questions that no one answers, too... I don't buy that they're rhetorical either, I think he wants an answer, just none of the others give a crap

Re: What's Your Footy Bugbear?

When did a "mark" become a "catch"? I hate it when commentators say ...'great catch'!

It is a catch though. The mark is where the umpire points when the player goes back to take his kick.

-Richmond. The continued existence of their supporters, players, ex-players and football club in general troubles me greatly. I really, truly hate tham with a passion

-North Melbourne. See Richmond but with the tiniest bit of respect added in for a bizarre effect.

-The growing trend off adding a 'y' to player's names like they are 3 YO's. IT'S LUKE BLOODY POWER!!!! Not Lukey Power. I suspect it started with him.

Or that Barry Hall. Barr would be fairly pissed about that.

+1. Spot on the moolah…

I also hate when people groan and moan about players kicking it back and forth across the backline

People who boo when players are executing a switch, or handball more than 2 times in a row.

Where are the boo's directed???? To the team chiping the ball around or the Team leaving the three guys free to do so????
I have been at games where this has happened and most of the fans were booing the opposition for not maning up and allowing this to go on. In that instance I'm all for the booing and would not consider that a bugbear.

Re: What's Your Footy Bugbear?

I love when they scream kick it, kick it, KICK IT (despite there being no one in our forward half), and then when a player blindly bombs it into a sea of waiting defenders they shout "oh, who to!"

It's just a frustration from the fans who can see no clear game plan, or that the players are not following the game plan. I think fans would prefer to see the ball turned over 60 metres up field than a holding the ball decision for excessive hand balls in the back half.

“Oh, Collingwood are just a step above the rest of the competition, aren't they?” *crickets & tumbleweeds…*

The thing that I hate about Bruce is that he continually states the bleeding obvious, or something that we have just clearly seen with our own eyes.

Leave that work for the radio commentators Bruce. Dennis offsets this beautifully with wit, Bruce has got no game other than stats.

Get him off.

Then those fans struggle to understand what they're watching. The idea that giving the ball away 60m up the field is some sort of safe haven is rediculous. With the speed players can move the ball both via kicking and run and carry if given open space, as a team you're better off to get caught holding the ball where you can slow play down in an area you have players, than you are to mindlessly give the ball away even if you gain a few metres.

So like I said, mindlessly shouting kick it, kick it, KICK IT.

No, they're just fools.

Matthew Lloyd comentating or being on TV, Radio full stop. Monotone and boring, I'm sure he was a good player in his day but some people just aren't cutout for media. I use to keel over in pain when he was interviewed back in the day, and I always said then "I can't see him getting a gig on TV once he is retired", Boy was I wrong.

Stuey Maxfield via Bruce started that I think.
