Sloane replacing Cornes on the Sunday Footy Show

Not sure he fits that dynamic

There goes my Sunday morning routine. It and front bar were the only 2 shows I watched. I'll give him a go, but can't see him being any good among that group. He might be ok on footy classified if his insights are valuable, but can't see it with Sunday mornings.
 
Mate the thing with a football forum is you don’t need to read anyone’s posts if it bores you, so don’t tell me what to post. Like I made the choice to put you on ignore as I found your posts not only boring but weird like emailing the AFL and media about the unfairness of our draw or offering share advice to new recruits.

As for it not being worthy of a rumours thread, do you want me to list all of the non rumours topics in this thread.

But let’s look at this topic, I posted some info, some appreciated it, some criticised it. I within my rights have responded to the criticism.

If that’s too much for you, I go back to my original point, don’t read it, pretty simple.
Schitts Creek Comedy GIF by CBC
 
She is a perfectly fine commentator. There is a total mob bias against her. This question should be on the sheep test.
Shes not a perfectly fine commentator, unless you love people getting team names wrong, players wrong and game situations arse about. If thats you, then sure.

By no means is she alone in that regard mind you, not at all.

Well your sentence is correct. And therein lies the root of the issue. We KNOW others make mistakes but we don't give them the same scrutiny. In fact if you listen to commentary you will notice many of them get names incorrect and often.

She isn't a great commentator because her voice isn't conducive to adding to the biggest moments.

But she is perfectly fine amongst the pack.

There is little point debating it because biases are incredibly hard to shake but I would challenge you to listen to all commentators with the same scrutiny.

That’s just not true. Actually she is incompetent at the job and unable to improve having been given ample opportunity.
Poor Deni Varnhagen , Kelli called her Van Hargen for year after year and once Van Halen and still couldn’t get it right. Reject stamp and next applicant please. The sheep test should be applied to those who blindly flog a dead horse
pushing people to accept mediocrity for whatever reason they feel is right when the obvious is right in front of their faces
She is just bad at it.

“The Orange Team” = GWS !

It is unlistenable when she is commentating .

edit : unfortunately I have listened to nearly all her AFL game commentary until I turn it down through frustration.

Listen to Brian Taylor, listen to Dermie and plenty of others - wouldn't know one player from the next.

Not everyone is going to be a Huddo or a Papalia

Well She certainly isn’t, so try the next one.
And if they are no good keep looking that is how you improve.
I’m no fan of BT or Dermi but of all the commentary people Kelli is by far the worst imo.

Dermi and Kelli are clearly the worst IMO.

Russell is right up there too, but bearable if Port are not playing.

Are you arguing that she's a good commentator or just not the only bad one?

Just because West Coast and Richmond are also shit it doesn't mean North Melbourne are all of a sudden ok. Brian Taylor is also constantly derided by fans and rightly so.

half of the male commentators do these things as well

I rate her highly, except when calling play by play. You can’t ignore the pitch of a person’s voice when judging them as a commentator that calls the play. Roo has an awful voice too, but thankfully he’s limited to special comments. His content is fine IMO but I’d have a big problem with him calling play by play.
