Re: Football Commentators

Haven't watched FC for ages but after the weekend win I was watching anyhting and everyhing where the dogs were likely to get some coverage

They said two things about our game.....how flat Brisbane were and how Goodes will never enjoy that much freedom again. They might be right but geez...give us some credit.

I won't be watching again. Lyon looked like he only had weeks to live, Hutchy was being a typical arsehole, Caro was her usual santimonious self and Lloyd was trying to sound intelligent with limited success. The most interesting part of the show was checking out Lloyd's hairstyle (Something about Mary style) and Caro looked like she had a Darth Vader helmet on. Actually she looked more like Cousin IT. The only thing you could see amongst her hair was her nose. Bizarre.

Very funny post.

Re: Football Commentators

Was anybody watching AFL Insider just before?

Al Lynch was praising the Bulldogs disposal again the Lions, he then went on to say the Bulldogs have been one of the worst in terms of disposal effiencey for the past 6-7 years.

Rocket gave him the dirtiest look and said 'I actally think they were one of the best dring 08-10.

Quite funny.

Re: Football Commentators

Was Brad Boyd that good in his 70 - 80 games?

Surprised anyone remembers him to be honest.

Has Nick been called Ed Lower yet? I had to correct a Bulldog fan on Saturday for this.

He was fantastic for a short period but career was ruined by back injuries. Was given the Fitzroy captaincy and ended up being their final captain. Would have easily been part of Brusbane's premiership teams on talent & leadership but his body let him down.

Can someone tell Craig Hutchison he is going bald.
Just shave it off !

Re: Football Commentators

Hahahaha, the word Bizarre is apt! The show's actually become more of a sinister pantomime than a football analysis show.

Haven't watched it since we last won, but they just needle each other in a phoney rehearsed manner.

Re: Football Commentators

Actually watched FC for the first time ever.

Thought Caro had a good face for radio and a voice suited for print.

Don't think I'll bother again.

I don't understand this question and I won't respond to it.

Seriously though I don't have a clue what any of that meant

The pic link broke. See below. The players sprout beards so the journo's have a crack.
Looks like he just stepped off a deserted island.

Re: Football Commentators

We have to suppose the commentators make mistakes about other teams' players' names..... don't we? We only notice our own.

Mark Ricciuto (see, I can even spell HIS name) kept calling our coach McCarthy. Do they live in an air bubble? They're supposed to be knowledgeable about the teams they're commentating about. A few minutes' refresher from the Record before the game could help.

Dwayne Russell seems to hold the Dogs in contempt, never has anything positive to say about us. And he needs to stop calling JJ, "Yohanissen".

In round one I'm pretty sure they kept calling him "Yo-Hansen". Might have been the radio doing it but somebody was.

"Yohanissen' is the correct pronunciation.
