John sounds like he gets his footy knowledge from the nuffs on BF. Dwayne cooked him
John is spot on about his Eddy Ford point though. Dwayne does this a lot. He finds some really negative stat about a player or team and just goes on and on about it.
Maybe as a neutral its cool to hear him harp on about David Swallow never playing finals, but when its your team on the end of another flogging hearing him sink the boot in, with these stats is painful.
The noise of affirmation has already got a run this arvo.
I have never in my life seen a player "strut" in when taking a set shot at goal, walk, jog or run but never strut.
Derrrrrwayne is the only commentator who thinks players strut into to goal.

He's adding colour.
I swear some of you lot want a robot or some dullard who knows nothing about the game like Pappalia commentating.

Got home and was excited to watch the last quarter.
A minute in and a “miracle” goal was scored.
**** off with your shit hyperbole you campaigner.

Given the lack of finals in Melbourne before the GF, will the Pipe travel to call for sen?
And like other objects of that colour, the sooner he is flushed the better.
Papalia is 1000x the commentator Russell is without even trying. No hype, no screaming, no insanity, just calls the game and accentuates where it is needed (which actually isn't that often).

Papalia is the most boring man alive, absolute no personality and injects nothing into a game. do you guys just want what's seeable on the screen repeated to you?
I want commentators who:
- Don't insult the intelligence of the viewers who actually understand the game perfectly well without you
- Don't yell and scream EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. LIKE. IT'S. IMPORTANT. (It isn't)
- Don't pretend the most basic skills that any 14-year-old can do are amazing, or magical, or incredible. They aren't.
- Don't inject horrific terms from other sports that have no place in footy (Russell is one of the absolute worst at this).
- Don't pretend you're at the game where you're watching on a screen in South Melbourne.
- Above all, don't try to be the star. The players are. The commentators are not.
