Disappointing that he’s not at the hawks but great to see he isn’t lost to football

 

[peetoo]

I’ve actually been watching footy on seven more because of Abbey Holmes

 

[unitedhawk]

Finals, yes. The grand final is protected by legislation and can only be live on FTA.

So are home Cricket Tests, I presume, which Fox has been covering along with FTA.

Hopefully, the exclusivity of FTA for AFL GFs can be removed. It's jarring having to watch an ad after each goal.

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.

TBH he would have a pretty good understanding of the game, he's certainly better in front of the mic than earlier in his career, think he is hanging around with a different circle now too not with his high school dropout mate Swan who never wants to grow up. Think it's a wait and see with this one to see if it will work.

‘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.

www.theage.com.au

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!

And not having to Richo's banal "special" comments either.

 

[kirbatron]

Matt Hill is a good commentator... the others are fine... bar Luke Darcy. that said who calls the game doesn't really bother me as long as we win..

 

[Ned Ryerson]

And not having to Richo's banal "special" comments either.

Richo comes in handy - on days where I’ve forgotten where I put my keys Richo is always there to make me feel like a qualifier for Mensa.

Was hoping he'd get a role within the club, but this is probably a better role for him.

 

[wahawk]

Who commentates the footy, is like the fixture release.

There’s always complaints

Get the fcuk over it & enjoy watching the game.
Turn the volume down if it really shits you that much

Found BT's burner account.

 

[wahawk]

Found BT's burner account.

Yeah. You got me. Well done.

But remember you are 1 of the 1st to have a crack at posters complaining about the fixture & rightly so.
So don’t get your knickers in a knot over someone calling out the complaining of the commentators

Yeah but I am generally the first to admit I am a complete hypocrite.

 

[wahawk]

Yeah but I am generally the first to admit I am a complete hypocrite.

That’s good.
It’s the 1st time I’ve heard you admit that though

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

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

Sure Whately can come off a bit too grandiose, but he and Huddo are two of the best commentators of the last 30 years.

At least they will talk about the footy happening in front of them and not some blokey bullshit circle jerk like those triple M clowns.

 

[Sixpence]

Found BT's burner account.

Eh? There was nothing BTish about wahawk's post.

(Yes, I'm aware it was meant to be a joke, but it fell flat)

Because most of my commentary whinging, and that of others, is about how insufferable BT is.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

That’s good.

Well I don't make self-flagellation a habit on here - maybe I should just list all my faults in my signature to save time, granted I might be testing the character limit a tad.

You can't turn it down because the camera work is so bad that you don't know what's going on

 

[Yardie]

Huddo, cats fan or not, is an excellent moments caller. Calls Hawthorn games particularly well.

"THIRTEEN! THIRTEEEEN!"

 

[unitedhawk]

"THIRTEEN! THIRTEEEEN!"

Huddo's always been a lot more impartial and objective than the other Cats fan, although, I must admit, Whateley is getting a bit better at hiding his bias.

Hahahaga you must’ve missed his FIERCE defence of sir Ken then

 

[wahawk]

Oh.
So the commentators are crap
The camera work is crap

& a lot of the time our players are crap (according to some in our game day threads)
You know, those who say it’s “game over” 10 mins in. You know the 1.

 

[unitedhawk]

Hahahaga you must’ve missed his FIERCE defence of sir Ken then

That had more to do with Ken being a regular on 360 for years, I'd suggest.

You're right, though - it illustrates he still lets his 'alliances' cloud his judgement.

Robbo was much better at being objective - and yes, I know that's not a popular opinion here because he's an Essendon fan.

Robbo is about as objective as our very own Dom.

They may be more subtle about it, but they too make it all about them.
