Bruce McAvaney... I think its time

[SuperSteele22]

Yeh- forgot about him.


How do BF panellists feel- would they accept Macavaney retiring from football, but doing in studio hosting for cricket?
Throw him a scrap to lure him away from our native game?

(You can keep the olympics too bruce)

Is Bruce even a cricket fan? Never really heard him talk about it

Although it wouldn’t matter even if he weren’t - he’d still jump at the chance to jump on our screens through the summer and continue to hog the spotlight

never heard him refer to cricket, but you're right he would absolutely jump at the chance.



Bruce says 'yes' to cricket hosting gig.





I dread to think of him commentating when Smith returns to the team

I can imagine much worse. How long until he describes Warner as "Davey"?

 

[StonesThrow]

Take the creepiness out of his calling and imo he's the best commentator. Seriously needs to check himself sometimes though.

I think the checking himself is way too often , like a jack on crisp !

nah bruce isn't creepy......

 

[numbat06]

You can just tell him and the others are snorting lines before the coverage, they're all on a totally different planet

Ha ha- he'd go straight into "davey"..

 

[juss]

I don't mind Bruce. You just get the feeling he's going to explode soon, don't you?

 

[Philth]

When he calls Poupolo "Poppy"......that is the worst. Extremely cringy.
All you Hawks fans must hit the mute button hard.

 

[sprockets]

Stevenson kicks two goals in the first quarter, "It's the stuff of legends". *** off Bruce. Please retire over the off season. Please.

De goeyyy

For the love of God, stop saying squirt and toe-poke

 

[hunterrory]

For the love of God, stop saying squirt and toe-poke

And ‘squeezy squeezy’

 

[Ron The Bear]

He sounds so emotional, but doesn't take you with him (even if he tries). His calling these days is quaint.

 

[SSSSSS]

Keep him. For the love of god the other boys club options will be far far worse.

 

[Westlo]

oh yes you knew he could do it, because he's a great great special player

the flip?

 

[Blues_Man]

Only if he takes BT with him

 

[The Wrecker]

A world record 62 rhetorical questions in today's call! He has become impossible to listen to.

 

[Bengineer]

For the love of God, stop saying squirt and toe-poke

Toe-poke. For so long I hoped this expression would die, but he stuck with it. Now I hear it being used by other commentators

Lol
He ****ed that
Was going to call him a champion and legend and realized the kids never won anything and has played under 100 games ffs

 

[Power Raid]

Bruce has gone full crazy

Time to hang up the mic

 

[sprockets]

Keep him. For the love of god the other boys club options will be far far worse.

Get help son, before it's too late.

 

[FrustratedTiger]

Bruce didn't bother me today. When the game is that good, you can tune him out. The spruiking of the cricket on the other hand....

 

[Priddis Is Done]

It's not just him

It's the whole Melb boys club.

There were 2 teams playing today. As an eagles supporter that was almost unwatchable.

Put a torch through the lot of them.
