Heeney for Normy?

Did that turkey of a umpire that gave that pathetic free kick against Tom Stewart get a gig?

Don’t trigger me

Nope.

Anyone having a guess at the "big unexpected news" BT was referring to coming out after the GF?

Daniher retirement?

Daniher retirement?

Hopefully it’s his last game calling.

Nah. It's supposed to be "emotional".

I downloaded the 7 plus app for my TV the other day to look for post match stuff and saw roaming Brian on there with his own section. It goes back to 2018 i think.

Actually felt kind of wholesome.

Errol Gulden

I think that's what the news will be. That they're axing "Roaming Brian".

 

[fpm84]

Let's go Bloods!

It's around Daniher considering his future

We'll still have BT in 2025, but maybe not Daniher

125 years is indeed a long time between drinks.

Prefer Sydney in this one, whilst I don't like Papley, I really don't like Lachie Neale

Shame. BT will still be with us that is.

 

[Turkey Tom]

Hopefully it’s his last game calling.

I have a horrible feeling it is all about him leaving Ch7 to call for Foxtel/Kayo next season.

 

[Dropkick99]

South Melbourne not pumping like Fitzroy...they killed the hopes and Dreams of South.

Both these teams were taken out the back with a blindfold on and executed with a silencer and no one is to forget it,

 

[cats_09]

Shame. BT will still be with us that is.

Does BT only do the TV commentary for 7?

If I'm watching from home then I watch via Foxtel - still got a few problem ones, but doesn't seem quite as bad a few like BT & Darcy

Hopefully BT retiring (although romping wins taking over will dull the enjoyment) you guys will have to let me know what happens as i can't stand C7.

 

[BotsMaster]

Fun fact: this is first all Vic grand final since 2011. (2021 doesn't count because it was played in WA )

I think so. You really question the world win this guy is paid a fortune for the drivel he produces and teachers/nurses/aged care aids are paid sfa. Anyway….

Yeah, BT's exclusive to 7 on the telly. I think he still does radio calls for MMM during the season though.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I try to rationalise the PF loss by believing we would have been beaten today in the GF

 

[BotsMaster]

Took the train into the city this morning. Lots of Brisbane fans, a small contingent of Swans fans and one Richmond fan were on my train.
