Football Commentators

Re: Football Commentators

Heard Bruce MaCaveny say he is almost 60 years old, boy didn't realise that. I know plenty of people don't like him, but I don't mind his voice, although he does say some ridiculous things sometimes.

I'm so sick of him it's not funny.

Apart from the fact he doesn't give the viewer sufficient credit to understand what's happening without the benefit of his hyper-definitions, he sexualises indigenous footballers and says perverted things such as "you'd love to be tackled by Chris Judd wouldn't you" after said player's committed an act of sheer bastardry.

His mania really freaks me out, to be honest.

I think he should be forced to wear pants when he's commentating.

That's funny

Personally I prefer listening to the ABC commentary, I don't like any of the TV commentators per se

Mate, I edited as I thought it a touch inappropriate!

Agree the ABC is where it's at. The commercial radio networks sound like you're listening to a continuous advertising jingle.

Describes how I feel about him perfectly. I actually feel physically ill listening to his commentary. I'd prefer to listen to Dwayne Russell and he's a complete *!*!*!*!wit!

Bruce Macaveiny makes me absolutely nauseous.

He really spoils Fox Footy.

Re: Football Commentators

Wow, way to reanimate a thread that's been dead for over 5 years.
Btw I still love Gerard Whateley. If he didn't love horse racing so much, he'd be perfect...

He does. Fox has some of the worst on air talent imaginable- Russell, Glen "da I'm from Perf" Jackovic, Paul "can I just interrupt to talk about Sydney" Roos, Mark "can I make everything about me" Robinson, Alistair Lynch, Tony Shaw... The list goes on.

I love how you use the word talent.

Re: Football Commentators

Anthony Hudson a shining light though, always professional and concise

I don't have Fox but I assume Gerard Healy warrants inclusion on that list. I also assume he's still there.

He is and he's shit too. Really only Huddo, Gerard Whately, and David King (who I hated as a player btw) come to mind as being good. Brereton and Dunstall can be entertaining on the non-game day shows, Mark Stevens is good but is gone now, and the rest are atrocious.

Russell
Roos
Jackovich
Pickering
Sheahan
Robinson
Shaw
Lynch
Frawley

Fox Footy's coverage is excellent but they have assembled the worst line up of commentators on tv, worse even the channel 9's cricket.

Re: Football Commentators

This is an old thread. Grybas was one of the best IMO. Miss him.

Don't care for many of them on the TV. Don't know who's there this year, don't care because I know what I'm getting. McAvaney I've never been able to take, Cometti just tries to hard to be funny and fails. Then Saturday night with Taylor and Richo all you get to hear about is ink and wanker hair do's.

ABC does me fine when it comes to radio. I actually want to hear what's happening at the game rather than listening to uneducated twits screaming over each other.

I don't mind the VFL commentary team. Donergan, Ryhs-Jones, Cleary and the other young guy who's name escapes me get the job done and do it well.

Re: Football Commentators

Bruce is to gushing for mine.
Russell is an over opinionated wind bag
Huddo's very line and length ( that's good)
Eddie's pretty good for mine
Basil Zemphlis don't get me started
Brian Taylor Is he commentating on a game of footy?
Gerard Whately outstanding commentator voice of common sense in the whole Bomber Peptides scandal

Actually McGuire is a good call. He's the opposite to Dunstall and Brereton for me, I don't mind him calling games but can't stand him on the footy related shows.
