The strangest thing is that he’s been commentating for a long time and yet he still says stuff I’d expect a novice to say. It’s just odd.

Its clear he is not mentally all there.
Like 100% clear
He is employed under some special arrangements for such persons.
Thats why noone says anything to him an dhe remains.

Given his biggest protector got marched this week,it will be interesting to see if he survives next year on C7.
The best commentary you'll hear all year!
Off you **** BT and take your screaming mate JB with you.

Cheer now until they replace him with Jobe Watson and Alistair Nicholson call full time and it's even worse

If BT was punted, the Ch7 Producers would have a heck of a time trying to build a highlights package.
Would be extremely scarce on content.

Wow he obviously shat himself under pressure then
If BT goes he has to take JB with him.
I reckon he is worse.

I think the problem is the pairing.
They feed off each other.
Put in a Jason Bennett with Brayshaw, and I'd bet Brayshaw will lift his game because he no longer has a borderline-dementia patient beside him during the call. Brayshaw has got it easy at the moment and can hide in the shadow whilst BT is a boofhead.
Take BT away and it all changes.
Not long now until Fox doesn't have to take the 7 commentary for matches ... woohoo!

BT has his moments of buffoonery but am I the only one who doesn't mind JB?

In some ways yes - the possibility of more Adam Papalia and Matt Hill.
Now think of the others, including - Deeeeerwayne, Kelli, Howard, Deeeeeeerm, Gerard, Lyon
Great that there's an alternative, but apart from a few exceptions, Fox ain't that much better.
Just watching last night's replay, it appears BT's wrong understanding of the "9 metres" part of the deliberate rushed behind rule has infected the rest of the team.
Is it too much to ask for commentators to learn or even read the rules? No wonder half the supporters don't know them.

it clearly is.
Taylor must have thought he was really clever late in the Carlton game when he asked how many brown paper bag deals were going on now along Lygon St right now ??
FFS, he has to go !!

I love BT’s call although I can see where others get frustrated. I sometimes crave a Commetti or Sandy Roberts type.
I think he’s best suited to radio for that manic, theatrical Rex Hunt type call where you’re not distracted by the actual play on the screen.

As is Brayshaw
The advantage to the is most games would have 3-5 radio commentary options. So if you want the buffoonery you can choose it.
With TV commentary you get one choice and unfortunately in some prime slots we're left with duds.
