    This years commentating.

    Well its only into the first round and if i hear another "outstanding" from them i am fairdinkum going to throw a dictionary at the commentary team.
    On that point , just who do we think is going okay and who isnt?
    Who has promise and who is deadset horrid?
    My 2 cents worth is Commetti is as good as ever.
    Frawley is a bit more relaxed now and can give you the odd giggle.
    Thank god they didnt have that woman call (if she did well i am glad i dont know about it)
    I didnt hear a "special" from Bruce either.

    Perhaps you should flick thru the pages of it before you throw it...

      I don't pay too much attention but I love Commetti. I HATE Robert Walls especially when it involves Carlton/Judd.

        We probably all need to but we are not paid to use adjectives they are!
        Anyone can use the same one over and over again with every second play.

            Umm okay a bit slow on the uptake there, how about a Thesauras?
            Maybe even both at times, because i am sure some of the commentators dont know what some of the words they use mean either.

              Tonight was so bad. What was with everyone getting the names wrong? I can remember someone kept saying giansiricusa should have taken the shot etc about 3 times and it was gilbee that did it AND brian taylor mentioned it was gilbee literally 2 seconds before he said it.

                I listen to it on 774 while watching it. Much better team.

                  They're probably just a bit rusty. Once the season gets in full swing they should improve.

                    Tim Gossage was terrible tonight..contributed nothing to the broadcast, and when he did it was unbelievably biased towards the Dockers.

                      Unfortunately that's as good as it gets with Gerard Healy and Glen Jakovich. Thank christ Dwayne Russell wasn't there.

                        I know they're only human and I know it's early days...but really...with so many name errors...and repeating the same errors... those guys get paid a lot of money to do that...

                          Brian Taylor made a blue but in general he was the best of the lot tonight.

                            They couldn't work out which players are which, kept getting Boyd, Cross, Higgins mixed up, otherwise I thought BT was ok.

                              I thought the commentating was shitful yesterday.

                              Gerard Healy made a comment at the 20min mark of the 3rd qtr that Fremantle would have to be happy with today's performance. Blind freddy could see we were going to thump them in the last qtr with the aid of a strong wind at our backs.

                              Jakovich is biast, he can't tell the difference between the players and offers no real insight into the agme.
