Wait people actually think Underwood is a good commentator.

Her knowledge of the players and teams might be great, but she cant remember/think on the spot.
Add that to the fact that her voice is very offputting, and you've got a horror combination.

Its not that shes a woman, and shes not the only garbage commentator that still gets a gig.
It’s just typical of the world we live in. If you fairly criticise any woman or member of a minority group, you are instantly a sexist, misogynistic, racist bigot.

Pretty fair. People don’t complain about Isa Guha and Ally Mitchell do they? Daisy Pearce was widely regarded as among the best special comments callers.

Absolutely. Whether there is a bias requiring a higher standard for women is another question, but in general people don't overtly dislike a commentator due to their gender (except for some meat head misogynists).

Isa is one of the best commentators going around. I love to hear her commentary.

Unfortunately, MANY of the criticisms ARE founded in sexism or misogyny. Some of them are fair and warranted.
 
Maybe not this year, but what are your thoughts on dual captains?

Meh - doesn't really matter to be honest.

I did see someone try to suggest that it wouldn't work because they couldn't name a country that has been successfully run with two leaders :drunk:. Probably one of the worst posts going around - especially considering the 2024 premiership winners had 2 captains. Also ignoring the fact that Sydney made a grand final in 2022 with 3 captains and won a flag in 2005 with 3 captains.

Why, is every single human on the planet not a primate? I’ve never known the term to be used in a derogatory manner, so what’s the big deal?
I mean she could have used the more conventional "Most Valuable Player" but yeah, it went away pretty quick so I don't think anyone was too bothered.

When most people hear the word primate they think of apes. Given the racist connotation that word has to people of colour - particularly in this country. It was a poor choice of words on her part. Why on earth would you think to use most valuable primate?

Yeah - thats what I found weird. It was just a weird usage of it. Don't think it was sinister or anything like that and it all moved on pretty quickly which is good.
