I like him as a presenter but not as a commentator.

If we can improve our style of play, they will all jump on board.

Some people might get a laugh out of this. Basically it's just tweet after tweet of all the shithouse generic clichés that wanker uses.

Followed.


I've said this before but I don't really notice the commentators on TV. I might remember 1 or 2 things that were said after the game

Roberts didn't get mentioned at all - I don't think they knew his name

I didn't rate Darcy's potting of Crameri on the replay, questioned his toughness a few times and then really took him to task for an act of frustration (which was reasonable but over analysed). I don't enjoy his media work at all.

I thought Carcy was spot on when he had a go at Crameri for the headlock and the time he %$#@ himself in the back line when he thought he was going to take a hard hit. Surprisingly the Dees didn't get stuck into Stew as well.

These two points aside I think he has forgotten about the club that made him what he is and gave him the leg up to start with, He is a modern day guy and nothing like Bobby D, Lou the lip Peter Mac and the old time guys. You new who they were backing.

Quote of the night went to Brian Taylor, "the game will be over when it ends" like WTF they will call it off early?
I genuinely felt dumber after listening to them.

The Jones calling of the jones incident are a total joke, the media spent the last week going on and on about trial by media and not showing the slow mo etc, and what the hell? Let's hang him!
Under no circumstances should the AFL tribunal be allowed to watch games on the television as the coverage is seriously prejudicial.
BT and Darby have no right under any circumstances to determine a suitable outcome and their second guessing of the incident serves no purpose other than to enflame public opinion of the incident.

The replay is unwatchable with the sound on.

BT is so bad, I can't stand him, In fact the whole channel 7 broadcast is as bad as listening to Dwayne and co.

Re: Brian Taylor and Luke Darcy are you for real ?

The commentary is atrocious , and I like others have the headphones on listening and watching the same time.
Taylor, Darcy and Richardson are having one giant love in.
At least Ling tries to bring something, but the continual hanging s*** on one another S**** me!

Re: Brian Taylor and Luke Darcy are you for real ?

There needs to be a campaign for them to be more professional. I get that they are trying to be funny, but their work lacks professionalism. I watch the broadcast on low quality video, and often they forget to actually say who has the ball. It's very annoying. Just call the game guys.

Less ex footballers, more people the ilk of Clinton Gyrbas.

Re: Brian Taylor and Luke Darcy are you for real ?

The channel 7 Saturday night commentary team is bloody awful. An extension of the MMM blokey, insider football culture. It's all just egotistical exclusionary boys club bullshit and adds nothing of interest or relevance to watching a game of football. On the other side, it's cringeworthy watching them step outside of anything strictly related to a game of football. Taylor and Darcy are clearly the worst of it. To be fair I'm not sure there is a decent commentary team on TV at the moment.

As for Darcy being an advocate for our club, I don't think it should be part of his role. He should be neutral. We can't ask for more professionalism from him at the same time as we ask him to push our agenda.

Beautifully put! Well done. Group think, mate, mate, maaaate. We're all mates and we all agree. Tonight we're backing this team, not that one. It's a galling industry at times. Quality commentary, in my opinion, comes with understatement, conviction and diversity of opinion. The overstatement and violent agreement that Ch7 and MMM dish up is just sickening.

Taylor is a cartoon character and Darcy is a yes man.
