Incredi-boyMCClure has the most punchable face on tv. If he created a raffle at $1 per ticket per punch he would be a millionaire overnight. Now there’s a thought.

It might have been muttered once or twice yesterdayI can imagine that the parents of every scholastically dim but half decent at footy 15 year old is just screaming "SHUT UP!!!!! YOU'RE NOT HELPING!" at the TV.
Its even more shocking if you watch any American sports
The contrast in professionalism and knowledge of NBA callers compared to these hacks is immense
Bruce knows his stuff. He is the best on stats and info on players. BT and others are continually wrong calling players. I understand your gripes but at least he is prepared.Are you serious? Bruce is terrible. Worst of the lot actually. Often his commentary has homoerotic undertones (ie. delicious, you'd love to be tackled by him etc.), which is completely unnecessary and has me constantly cringing during his games.
He has this reputation as a legendary sports commentator, which I have never understood either. If you're going to be considered one of the greats, you need to have a few tricks outside of asking the same rhetorical questions repeatably throughout a match (ie. you would give him a chance from here, wouldn’t you?).
He’s a complete amateur for mine.
I don’t understand this incredibly sexist point.Men that have jobs in footy media for no other reason than they are product friendly:
Matthew Richardson
Luke Darcy
Cameron Ling
Bob Murphy
Women that do/have jobs in footy media for no other reason than they are women:
Every single one of them with the exception of Emma Quayle.
At what point do you start believing women actually deserve their jobs?
And why can a woman not commentate or be involved in football?
They’ve been enjoying it as long as you have. They know just as much (if not more) about it. They can usually string an articulate sentence together and avoid the cliche boys club banter. I don’t understand the problem.
What a load of horseshit. 99% of the men have only got their jobs because they used to kick a bit of leather around an oval. Not because of their journalistic prowess, or their ability to understand the strategy of the game, or for that matter... call it. The same is now happening for the females. There are female callers now (generally boundary riders or colour commentators - I can't recall one in the main box as yet) thanks to the producers finally understanding that there are female viewers who might relate more to a female commentator. It's called understanding your viewer profile. There are a few females within fox footy now that I don't mind listening too... On the Mark, with Sarah Jones, Kelli Underwood, Neroli Meadows isn't too bad either. Daisy is a high profile player within the AFLW, but she's possibly not the best choice in terms of commentary. I would think Erin Phillips would make a pretty good commentator as she has a really deep understanding of the game, and she's pretty articulate.Men that have jobs in footy media for no other reason than they are product friendly:

I’m missing how then Emma Quayle is the only deserving female of a job in the AFL.People deserve jobs when they exhibit the requisite ability.

Caroline Wilson

Sarah Jones
Peta Searle
Peggy O’neal
Chyloe Kurdas
Daisy Pearce
Tiffany Cherry
Belinda Mellen
Plus many more women somehow don’t deserve their jobs?
What don’t these women have that only Emma Quayle has?
Say no more. I get what you think of women involved in AFL nowRe: The media people. No.
They are basically gossip columnists or women cloning generic male tv sports presenter traits.
An worthy analytical understanding of the game.
Gave me a cackle too.He couldn't work out why Grundy got paid a mark earlier.
BT awkwardly quietly says “think it was...man in front, ah Leigh”.
Clear as day man in front, you`d think a bloke like Matthews could work that out!
She is the token female just to be politically correct. Her voice is also very irritating.

Yep, spot on. Luckily the game was so bad the commentary couldn’t ruin itSo we've had BT call a Dogs player Stringer, with Bruce and BT talking about sex appeal. This match isn't going to be great to watch, the commentary won't be much better.
"Luckily the car accident killed him so the brain tumour is no longer an issue."Yep, spot on. Luckily the game was so bad the commentary couldn’t ruin it
