Footy Personalities: Forced Upon Us

[LB#16]

I have loved listening to SEN but the Garry Lyin appointment has really disappointed me. I really cannot stand him and hate the fact that some of the Footy Show cancer has spread to SEN.
Give me an Andy Maher anyday.
Hutchy is the captain of a sinking ship which will hopefully just disappear.

The problem is Crocmedia, They basically run the footy media landscape and its a massive boys club. Honestly one of the most insightful people I listen to is Cameron Ling but he doesn't really have a larger media presence, whether that's due to him not wanting to be prominent or his 'look' I don't know but people like that need to have more of a presence imo.

Also Dermie needs to stop being a condescending prick when he talks about anything footy related.

If you are in the Crocmedia boys club
Then you have a good job application.
Campbell Brown is the Crocmedia identity that irrites me.
Just oozes over-cockiness.

Awful commentator and drag queen tv make up, awkward silences from other hosts after his gags, you know what he's going to say as soon as he starts talking and he takes an eternity to actually say it

Sounds exactly like Dermie.

 

[The_Reaper]

Serious? Not saying he's a great, or even good commentator. What I am saying is the bloke is a phenomenal defender, and if he wants to talk about that I'd certainly listen.

Taking this into another sport and I'd compare him to Ian Healy.

Whatever you think of the rest of his commentary - when Healy talks about wicketkeeping he is absolutely worth listening to.

I just feel like no one in the media know shit about what's going on. Every prediction or analysis King has ends up being wrong. Dermy is 99% miss 1% hit. Brownless, Newman, Derwayne just have no clue I get better insight from Jonno down the pub. Watson and Healy etc are just so bias I can't process anything they say. Don't even get me started on Robbo.

Seriously, I only really listen to Whateley, Dunstall and Lloyd. I'm so fed-up with unqualified sports analysts.

Some seriously epic modding done on the OP BTW...

Boys club.

brahj ,The Filth Wizard , pantskyle

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Dermis and Carey have a lot in common.

 

[footyboi1]

Is Andrew Symonds also croc media? cause how did he get dragged in from the abyss to all of a sudden be in everything. (commentry teams, sports betting agency ads etc)

 

[Seluro]

I miss Clinton Grybas. One of the few I have ever been able to stomach, insightful and unbiased...

Looking forward, Pav actually sounded very competent and well rounded in the JLT games he called, was a breath of fresh air.

 

[maddog37]

I really enjoy the insights of Dwayne Russell.

 

[La Dispute]

Does Hame (does anybody know any Hamish's who prefer this 'nickname') still do that thing where he patronises the kids at half-time?

Inferiority complex personified.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

HI GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Also, it completely baffles me regarding King. When did he win the title of most brilliant analytical brain when it comes to the sport. Was there a MENSA meeting about it? Is he a member of the Crocmedia Freemasons?

 

[Kent Brockman]

Gerard Whateley is the only footy personality I genuinely like. That guy is nothing but professional.

 

[t_94]

Gerard Whateley is the only footy personality I genuinely like. That guy is nothing but professional.

His problem is he talks about football like he's discussing the fate of the United Nations. Thinks he's way more intelligent than he actually is.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Unless he's talking about Geelong, in which case he becomes an excited schoolgirl and all professionalism goes out the window.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I am not trying to cause a generational fight but there needs to be a big injection of young blood into the fourth estate

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Unless he's talking about Geelong, in which case he becomes an excited schoolgirl and all professionalism goes out the window.

Bollocks I know he's an admitted cat but in recent times he finds some new team doing it differently and completely falls head over heels for them. First it was Port Adelaide under Hinkley (he flew over for some games) before they were shown up for what they are. Then his love of GWS rivaled that of his weird fetish for young female race horses. Then there was the Dogs season last year. As they marched on and on he got more and more dewy eyed for the sons of the West, his words getting longer and attaining more points on a scrabble board.

His fawning over whoever is in form or doing something exciting is what shits me about the man.

 

[Plugger35]

Or talking about Black Caviar.

Thank god it retired so we didn't have to listen to him drooling every time it won a race.

Then his love of GWS rivalled that of his weird fetish for young female race horses. Then there was the Dogs season last year. As they marched on and on he got more and more dewy eyed for the songs of the West, his words getting longer and attaining more points on a scrabble board.

You're not wrong, but I find it hard to believe you missed the weeks leading up to the Dangerfield decision. He was painful to watch jumping out of his skin each night in giddy anticipation.

And then there was the Paddy interviews.

And then their was Whateley splooging his pants whenever he discussed the Cats with Danger in the team.

And then there is Gerard shooting down any Geelong controversy whilst simultaneously having it in for any other team with an issue (Essendon drugs saga).

I know what I see.

Other than that, he's pretty good, in a nasally nerd type of way.

HI GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit that must've taken some time in front of Photoshop.

Hinkley Geelong
GWS Stevie ffing J
Dogs Dunno?

I've been listening to Lyon and co. on SEN and don't mind them, to be honest. Lyon will acknowledge if he hasn't a game at least.

The thing with these 'media personalities' is that they have so many other commitments so don't have time to actually properly analyse what happens in the game.

Well in his defence Paddy is a dreamboat.
