Daisy Pearce is horrid.

[TheJanuaryMan]

Serious question. Is BT the least intellectual commentator on Australian TV? There may be some commentators in the lower grades of other sports that do the job for free that may contend? However this last night was one of an infinite number of examples we have heard from him since he began…

He is an embarrassment to the industry but the most embarrassed should be Channel 7 for making him the figurehead of their team.

Gets names wrong regularly. Seems to have an incredibly low understanding of the rules. Appears to believe if you repeat the same thing 5 times, it makes it fact. Resorted to a primary school pun involving GWS's Issac Cummings in the game yesterday and paused to allow snickering in the box. In short, has no business being near a commentary box but 7 seem pleased to promote him.

Yeah don't get how she is getting a gig too be honest. Gives no insight into the game at all and just states the bleeding obvious. Cant understand how she is getting a gig over Erin Phillips. But when you look at it, the seven commentary team would be the safest job in the world. Rarely changed in the last 10 years.

Probably one of only as few people on Ch7 who understands modern footy, along with Hodge and Bartel.

Luke Hodge is a living legend in my eyes, but his 'interview' with Toby Greene after Saturday's game was embarrassing.

Bartel needs to get off the fence and actually give something.

I agree they all understand it, but to be honest the 3 you've just mentioned are boring as batshit on the mic.
I don't know how Bartel has kept a speaking and commentary role, no fluency in his voice.

i think hes there as a champion ex player and decent in appearance. not sure what else

Rubbish thread. Would listen to her all day before almost anyone else in the commentary team.

They need to wheel out Dennis and Bruce again, no one seems up to the job.

We need Bruce from the 90's and early 2000's, not the Bruce in the last few years who was terrible.

Painful voice. Sounds pretty much the same as Suzanne Olsen

This, sounds like a little kid asking her Dad for an ice cream.
Talks too much and it'll shit me if she's doing the GF.

 

[Lethality]

She did well on the Grand Final. That might be more of a commentary on the rest of the 7 team as most of them seem to just go through the motions and pipe up with the same cliches whether they're true or not. Richo and Darcy are the living embodiment of this at the moment.

Daisy actually seems to be trying to do a good job and actually enjoys the game. That should be the bare minimum, but it makes her stand out.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

She shits all over any of them.
Doesn’t waffle on, concise and a great knowledge of the modern game.

 

[1989]

Like many commentators, I think she's out of her depth, but she gives it a good go.

She's certainly not the worst, but the standards are so low these days on Seven.

I'd like to see more tactical analysis in place of psychological type comments - "They have the momentum now and it's because they started believing again".

 

[CURVE]

One of the more insightful commentators in football today, whether it is AFL or NRL.

 

[the PILL]

I think she's awesome, notices certain nuances of play the other rolling commentators don't pick up on while they're sensationalising everything or even sometimes later wake up to and reframe.

Pearce, Bartel and Hodge are all very dialed in on the modern game and tactics. Hodgy gets tounge tied a bit though...

If you think she's no good at special comments you're probably one of those knobs at the game screaming out "Just kick it"

There is a bit of waffle there

 

[RAPPA]

She’s a Porsche compared to the Datsun Bluebirds around which she is surrounded.

 

[apollo_creed]

Don’t have a problem with her commentary. Did find it amusing that Brayshaw referred to her as a ‘legend of the Melbourne Footy club’. I would strongly dispute that statement which is more pandering than fact. Winning a couple of AFLW B&F’s does not make her a legend. There’s not really many over 100 years for the long standing sides in the mens competition. Phillips is the only AFLW player who qualifies for that term thus far.

 

[Bombermania]

Nothing against Abby Holmes but Daisy should have done the on-field interviews after the match since she plays for Melbourne's AFLW side.

George Fury's Bluebird is one the ATCC great cars and still the lap record holder at Bathurst, the pre-Chase configuration. Porsche couldn't match it.

One of the better looking Group C big bangers as well.

fair call. I just think back to the red shit box Datsun my grandfather had

Datsun never made a shitbox.


























Except for the 120Y, 180B, 200B, first gen Pulsars, Pintara...

and what car do you think followed his bluebird? The flipping Pintara which was constantly riddled with issues

It's actually funny how often one of the the others (usually BT) is dribbling on about something that happened 20 years ago and she makes a point about the game currently on.

Her and Hodge both seem to be able to ignore the "banter" and just speak about the match.

 

[Mr north man]

She's very low on the list of Channel 7 commentators/personalities who I'd complain about. Get rid of BT, Darcy, Hamish, Basil and Sam McLure and then maybe we can discuss Daisy's role.

Hay just hope Channel 10 with Paramount Sports get the Next rights I recon by then you have a number of special comments people and commentators available for Example Erin Phillips ,Nic Nat ,Nat Fyfe will hopefully picked up with current special comments Dunstall,Hodge,Pavilich,Lynch and commentators Huddo,Speed,Gil Brother Quartermaine and maybe Eddie.
Then no more Channel 7 or Fox Footy morons .
