Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

[Section226]

with the network’s former head of sport Lewis Martin handing James Brayshaw a new five-year contract earlier this year before his own exit, two of the sources said. Commentator Brian Taylor was also handed a new five-year deal this year.

That's almost like a President in their last days giving a pardon.

Further evidence that former Head of Sport lost the ability to read the room in the latter days of his tenure. No wonder he got the tijuana

Sack him. Set up a go fund me to pay out the contract

Lewis Martin knew he was getting the sack. He also know JB and BT’s positions would be in trouble under a new boss as everyone knows they’re not well liked (particularly BT). So Martin locked them into new five year deals before he was flicked as a “parting gift” for the new boss to be stuck with them on the call team.

The upside is we get to choose which TV commentary team we would like to hear from next year.

No BT.
No JB.
No Abby.

I listened to Channel 7 commentary for the very last time last Saturday.

Music to my ears.

There was a moment early on in the game where they were silent and we (the viewer) were able to take in more of the crowd noise. Having that the ENTIRE game would be epic, riding the cheers or boos of the crowd would be stellar. In fact AFL commentary should be more like tennis - only commentate once a goal is scored

The original Fox Footy channel allowed you to mute the commentary and hear the crowd instead as well as choosing one of a couple of camera angles. Made you feel like you were there.

Confirmed it alsoincludes thegrand final?

 

[MortlockWatcher]

Not sure but I bloody well hope so.
If 7 don't let them show it live, I hope that they put Fox commentary when they show the replays.
