Re: Best Broadcaster and why.

Can anyone remember back when channel seven oringally had the tv rights i think his name was Ian Robertson, He seemed alright i thought. quite passionate

I found his passion was for always disputing the umpires, he hated them with passion and annoyed the crap out of me!

Ian Robertson played for Carlton a backman i think, in the tough old days
Yeah he did it for quite a while, i love watching the winners on fox when they show old ones and Peter Landy was doing it, his hair and the way he liked to look important was hysterical, the bloke was a rower i think, whats that got to do with being a footy expert i dont know!

He played a couple of games for Footscray as well, in 1974.

Spot on! Played 4 games & kicked a goal. Bonus point, what number did he wear? Extra bonus point, who else wore that number in 1974? (Sockeye & A39, no refering to the sooper dooper spreadsheet I sent you).

Sen or MMM. All depend on which game they're doing. If both are doing the game the MMM for the proper game and SEN for the talkback ect.

7=Crap (except for Cometti)
10= ok (improves with Huddo)

Haven't watched many sub Gybas Fox yet

Pick me! Pick me! I know!

I remember Robertson, but I don't remember the other player at all (was he related to the Hawthorn player?).

Robertson took his number, not the other way around. The next year the number was given to a dead set gun from Interstate who didn't stay very long before ending up at another club.

Re: Best Broadcaster and why.

I enjoy Fox the most, but it will never be the same without Clinton Grybas...channel 10 is to me an obvious but close second. Channel 7 are so far behind the other two stations that it's frustrating- Bruce is not the same as he used to be, Dennis Cometti still has some classic lines but I don't like him that much at 7 (much preferred the 9 team with him) and Schwarz, well, his comments are just bad. I thought Buckley started the season well, and while it's still the start of the season, he's had a bit of time now and hasn't exactly said anything useful. Anthony Hudson is my favourite commentator, he's brilliant- I hate to imagine what channel 7 will do with the Grand Final, Huddo has set a very good standard in the past.
