This years commentating.

Re: This years commentating.

I thought the commentating was shitful yesterday.

Couldn't agree more.

They clearly did no preparation for the game.

How hard is it to get a tape of our NAB Cup game and have a look at some of the players.

I LOL when Gerard said that Freo would be happy with their performance. Gerard tipped Freo to be the team to improve the most this year (once again) and he was clearly trying to justify his comments.

We beat them by 10 goals. How can any team be happy with that performance.

Re: This years commentating.

How many times did Jakovich say that Ibbotson "really made a name for himself last year"?

Also after both of Johnsons goals (within 5 minutes) he said "that'll do his dconfidence a World of good."

Re: This years commentating.

Slightly off track, did anyone hear Grant Thomas on SEN this morning? I nearly drove off the road when he praised the Bulldogs for the way they played.

If he keeps doing that I will need to install wipers on the inside of the car 'cause I nearly spat my coffee out when he applauded us for our hardness at the footy.

I may have to watch Footy Confidential tonight to see whether he follows it up with more praise.

Yeah, did hear that & like you I was very surprised.

Heard Dermie on SEN on way home from work, he said our game and the style we play was probably the most impressive of the week.

Channel 7 showed Eagle in the last quarter with the blood coming from his forehead and placed and add to give blood underneath.

Best thing they've done with the footy.

Dagger in the heart has been a big one too, at our game and the Weagles and Port game.

I saw that on Friday night but thought it was just coincedental. Great idea.

I noticed that too, funniest thing I've seen on TV for a while.

Re: This years commentating.

I had the unfortunate experience of having to listen to Rex Hunt.

He really is hopeless.

I totally agree - I had to listen to Rex Hunt as well, and I can never figure out who has the ball, who kicked the goal, etc., etc. So very frustrating! I know they jokingly call 774 funeral directors, but at least you can visualise what is happening and who has the ball!

They still call 774 funeral directors? I have not listened to 3AW call football for 15 years and they were doing that lame attempt at a joke then.
My stance on the radio is if the melbourne 774 team are not calling our games I will not listen to our game. I'd prefer to listen the game 774 is broadcasting and just get updates.

Same old, same old. No imagination, nothing new or insightful ever said, pander to the lowest common denominator commentary is the aproved style. Robert Wanker Walls even has to tell us where the ball is kicked from. Talk about the ultimate regression or reduction to adsurdity.

Why is it that the game has got much more technical and dare one say intellectual and we suffer commentators who are the antithesis. No wonder the coaches treat them with disdain.

I'm with you Bob, when you are listening to a game you want to know 3 things,.

1/ What the score is.
2/ Where the ball is.
3/ Who has the ball.

774 give it a try!

Alwaysadog, I find your post's interesting and enjoy reading them. You obiviously have a good grasp of the english language or a great thesaurus , but I dont understand why you need to include petty insults as to me they seem out of place in your posts.

One way to fix the commercial TV problem is hit the mute button and put on a CD, or turn off the TV and put on the most insightful commentary team Melbourne's ABC's 774.
