No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

can't say that I pictured Derm as a pinball connoisseur.

 

[Max Powers]

Saw this on FB made me laugh.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Look I get the part about getting rid of the yellow on red contrast as it did look like a Macca's football club but red on red? Yea, nah.

 

[Ashman23]

It hurts my eyes to stare too long at it, so I guess, like the Sun, it has that going for it.

The blue/gold one looks like the planet Uranus in the centre, so, it has that going for it.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Jack has often mentioned that Dusty was a completely different bloke behind closed doors - he even lauded his leadership role within the team - compared to what he came across in the public eye.

Barack Obama is one of the better-known introverts of recent times. Didn't stop him becoming one of the most influential public speakers of his generation.

People can change when they take on new roles.

Haha never thought I would hear Dustys oratory potential compared to one of the finest speakers in history!

‘Choice is a great thing’: Hudson and Whateley to call Friday night football on Fox

Viewers who subscribe to Foxtel will have a choice of callers for Friday night football in 2025 as the network announces its Friday night call team.

What a breath of fresh air Friday nights will be now - I know it’s two Cats nuffies but Huddo is a consummate professional. Goodbye BT and JB and your banal, boorish bullshit!

Interesting . Heard there was some friction between them at SEN .
Hence why Huddo moved on

Absolutely spot on.
It’s the blokey bullshit from those 2 turkeys and the initial labeling crap (“that was real good BT, what do you think? Well JB ….”).
And the stupid feigned excitement from Taylor every time the ball moved forward of centre - unwatchable and cringeworthy.

Now we’ll have 2 intelligent commentators in the prime time we almost own.

It wasn't a comparison.

I was just providing an example of a widely recognised introvert like Obama becoming, as you rightly said, "one of the finest speakers in history". That example was prompted by TassieGrown's description of Dusty as an introvert.

I'm not saying Dusty will emulate Obama. I'm just just suggesting there's no reason why he can't overcome his supposed introversion when he takes on a new role in the media - and that suggestion is based on Jack's description of Dusty behind closed doors.

In my own professional life, I've seen people change and become more rounded individuals when they've taken on new roles.

Perhaps I should've explained it better earlier.

It’s really something when those two are ‘improvement’

Courier and mcenroe became two of the best commentators. I bet there were eyerolls when announced

McEnroe, superb commentator. "I wonder why they Call Alex De Minaur, Demon. Must be because he's a speed demon"

You can't buy that sort of genius.

I'm old enough to have seen McEnroe play. Was my favourite tennis player for the magic he produced with his racquet - until Federer came along.

Yes, Super Mac is a good example of a great player becoming an even better commentator.

On the subject of introverts becoming outspoken personalities, Elon Musk says he used to be an introvert when he was a humble engineer. Now, I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes he would shut the eff up!

Whateley for Friday night is disgusting, may as well watch Hans mole man get hit in the groin with a football. AFL media is just shocking punch in the dick every time I put it on

He’s commentating on FoxFooty. If he’s not for you then watch on 7.

Nah, not really. Huddo is a very good caller and JB/BT are some of the worst commentators I’ve ever had to endure - JB particularly.

Every time I have to hear BT say ‘chiseler’ my soul dies just a little bit more.

I dare you to drink every time Brayshaw says “broken up in the air”.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Agree

Huddo is the best of the high profile callers

BT the worst in a large competitive group with him

 

[unitedhawk]

Will Fox be allowed to have their own callers for the Finals, including the GF, as well?

 

[extractasam]

Elite we get fox commentary now over 7. The game analysis is far better if you’re that way inclined.

Personally found Friday night to be unwatchable on 7 the last few years. Just turned into watered down garbage and I don’t think it has everything to do with JB/BT because I used to love their work on 9/MMM. Cannot stand them on 7.
