Channel 7 coverage - is it me or is it crap

[funk44]

just finished watching the game as i was at it last night.

is it just me and my bias or did the commentators REALLY not want the cats to win last night???

 

[Magpies B2B]

I actually enjoy Basil or Hamish calling than Bruce. Bruce has become a cliche of what he used to be which is sad because during the mid 1990s he was actually a good caller. I must admit that I would love to see Sandy back calling footy.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Cometti/Matthews: It's pronounced "Stevenson", not "Steffensen"...for God's sake. You'd think they'd listen to how Harley is pronouncing it.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Watched 15 minutes of the Collingwood v St.Kilda game and couldn't take any more of "BT, Richo and Tim Watson". Surely have to be the three stooges of commentary.

 

[tek87]

i don't mind the team of cometti, basil, ling and lethal matthews. the rest? used to like bt but he gets unhinged when doing magpies or tigers games

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Richo is now reading out mindless tweets from semi-recognised names: "Kayne Pettifer has just tweeted, saying St Kilda are getting on top here..."

Cheers, Richo.

He's going overboard tonight. I just want to reach into the TV and wring his neck. Is he on speed or meth? He's taking bombastic to new levels.

And the nomination for the most biased call of the year for round 19 goes to....*drumroll*....Brian Taylor (Collingwood).

 

[RUNVS]

Brian Taylor almost made that coverage unwatchable. I wanted to punch someone after listening to him in that match.

Sick to death of hearing 'Big Boy' & 'The player that lives in the garage'

and stop reading out tweets from nuffies.It's bad enough we have nuffies commentating.

 

[Micksy]

BT: "We've just broken up from a meeting." At least try to hide it.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

In the space of 5 minutes, BT managed to call both Brendan Goddard and Clinton Jones 'Nick Riewoldt'.

His lack of professionalism is simply appalling. Makes no effort at all to learn the names of the younger players, unless of course they are graduates of the Calder Cannons football factory, or recruited from Lorne.

 

[Goo]

'Pythagoras's theory says Priddis cant kick this goal!'
'He's kicked it!'
'Well both their names start with P!'

Good god.

 

[Heardy_101]

The only thing that is crap at the moment is the umpires attempts to aware Geelong a victory through stupid free kicks.

**** sake

what happened to just calling it as it happens rather than trying to be something you're not; clever like dennis or rex

Yeah, they really boxed themselves into a corner by giving the Weagles half a dozen cheapies in the first half. Had to even them up some time. So when the Weagles get 3 goals up with 3 min on the clock it's go time!!!

But on topic...

THE EAGLES GET ANOTHER BRILLIANT GOAL!!!!

*yawn*...and the cats..*stretch*....get a goal...*sigh*

 

[Roadie]

Tom Harley...he's so desperate to not seem biased towards Geelong that he's going too far in the other way. Whether right or wrong, he will back the opposition every single time. Is it that hard to be neutral?

 

[amj11]

Good news Cats fans, we actually won apparently according to Dennis:

"And its the Cats in the end by 5 points"

F****** idiot

Dennis is proof that idiocy is a disease, was the second best caller in the business (rip Clinton grybas) when he was at 9.
Now he's just as bad as the other ********* saps that make up the 7 team.

I think it's pretty strong evidence to suggest you become a product of your environment. Commentators see themselves as stars just as much as the players.

Poor Den is becoming a parody of what he once was.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

6 of the last 6 to the saints... thanks Hamish, you *******

Jako does this when covering West Coast matches.

 

[Corkintheocean]

All the respect I had for Kirk as a player is quickly being eroded by his dreadful on screen work.

Anyone else seen this?





I almost feel sorry for him.

How have I not seen this! Thank you for the link. PMSL here.

 

[Micksy]

What's with BT's "Shoelace Monologue"?

 

[Micksy]

Lol. The entire commentary team couldn't see the ball come off a Collingwood player's toe.
