Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

[Brezsa]

If I'm very 50/50 on whether I can be bothered to watch a game or not, it can make the difference.

E.g. I'll probably put the Eagles/Roos game on for a bit today. If Kelli Underwood is commentating I am not likely to keep it on.

It’s Adam Papalia doing the call by call. WA based so does all the WA matches. He has been doing them alone or with Dwayne for the Sunday matches.

I think Kelli is done for the weekend

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I'll mute the entire game if Brereton is on. Give me Huddo, Bennett, any of the ABC Radio callers.

Takes some kind of talent to explain something which should be so simple and to the point, into a running waffled explanation that morphs into 4 different conversations at once, then back to the original question and then answered…
He’s truly a one of a kind…

The commentary sucks, I miss Ed, man can call a game. His pot shot at the commentators last week was spot on.
Absolute professional & always gave us huge respect - his knowledge of Carlton history was incredible & even thou he bleeds black & white he understood that a successful Carlton only strengthens the Pies - he was never one to kick us when we were down. The occasional sledge - but that’s just par for the course & was always delivered the right way.

It's a real shame cause he has a great footy brain. He just can't help taking over commentary with these long rambling chunks of intellectualising and opinion.

As game callers atm that’s about it…

Dunstall and Lyon special comments are streets infront of the next lot…

Montagna and Dixon i have a bit of time for, they have a good understanding and perspective on the game i like the way they both see and breakdown games in their feedback…

Nail on the head, wonderful football brain just can’t help himself, shame…

What, what are ya gonna do…???

Sneak under the desk and tie his shoelaces together.

 

[Sector 7G]

They really need to retire any special comments people who haven’t played the game in the last 20 years ( apart from maybe King or Dunstall) as the game today is nothing like the game in the 90s

 

[The Bighouse]

I don't know what that means.

UFC commentary team..adds to the call!

 

[KohPhi]

[teagueyubeauty]

From the Scats board - 'Have been told that Holmes looking to get out is more than just a rumour'

Now thats a name I'd be happy to hear us linked to.

He’s one I’d like

Will the club do a review in the off season? I find the reviews we have done in recent years that have resulted in new coaches have been focused on new starts but haven’t really given answers on how we will get better. Something clearly shifted mid season and I believe the club has a duty to review it so we don’t go backwards again and if we do we can rectify it sooner. As a member I feel we are owed an explanation and those responsible deserve the accolades.

I’m a country member so only get to 5 games per year. The last game I was at was the port game and the atmosphere was so much better then the games I attended earlier in the season. My question to those that go live every week is can you feel the atmosphere intensifying every week? If so surely this makes JSOS and Gov want to stay for less!

You’re a country member………
Don’t worry mate I haven’t forgotten!!!

Strange post.

Gough Whitlam: "When Sir Winton Turnbull (a Victorian MHR) was raving and ranting on the adjournment and shouted 'I am a Country member', I interjected 'I remember'. He could not understand why, for the first time in all the years he had been speaking in the House, there was instant and loud applause from both sides."

If is good enough for our Federal Parliament and Hansard it’s good enough for Big Footy.

Don’t you think we deserve to know why we improved so much? Or more importantly why we started so poorly?

Interesting point. But a review?

 

[Jeremias]

Review has absurdly negative connotations. Every club should be undergoing constant review in an effort to get better.

I disagree though that members deserve explanations. That's absolutely not what buying a membership entitles you to.

Every board meeting is a review. The coach and CEO get to give progress reports and suggestions.
I dont expect to know what is said and the only thing I have a right to as a member is the good feeling that I am helping the club field a team and a ticket to watch them. And that's through thick and thin.

 

[Bluella]

Being a member doesn't entitle us to something just because we would like it. Such as a review on why we're suddenly not crap.
