Bit difficult to feel sorry for someone who is a commentator by profession, incredibly well paid at that, who has had all season to get the players names and numbers correct and would have known for months he was calling a Grand Final. If it was Round 1, sure, mistakes will occur. Grand Final...
Got a strong feeling from today's call - and many, many more over the years - that he is calling the game by watching a monitor, not through binoculars. Hence why so many errors in which way shots were going, it depended a bit on camera perspective.
Mind you, he could have binoculars 20m from...
Have had a lot of PM's from posters asking for my count. I don't post it on here any longer for a few reasons, particularly getting PM's from posters if they followed parts of it and didn't win. Considering I did it to help others, thought was that a bit much so decided to compile the count same...

Bernie's entire repertoire consists of screaming his way into conversations, yelling louder if not acknowledged and attempting to be a WISH version of Billy Brownless.
RACE 2 – COWDEN THE INSURANCE BROKERS PACE (2130MS)
Drivers G Hall Jnr (YOURE SO FINE NZ) and R Warwick (NAVY STREET) were questioned in relation to their tactics adopted through the early stages, in particular the reason for setting a fast pace through the early stages and recording a lead...
