Autopsy Hawks vs Buddy Boy and the COLA kids

[HR Roughnstuf]

It was a funny call.

I have only heard him a couple of times on radio, I think that medium helps him, as he has to call the game and there isn't as much space that needs "filling"

It also might help that listeners wouldn't be able to tell when he gets every second players name wrong.

So true. Can't remember who but he had some shockers on Saturday night

Goodes is a disgrace to the AFL. I thought when Sydney started losing he was going to point to someone to take the heat off their incompetence. But Australian of the Year. What a useless individual

I liked Mocca's comment in response to this:

I love the commentary, it's pretty funny if you ask me. I don't see how it's cliche at all.

It's cliche because he uses that "and he says I'm ________" every week. It was funny the first few times, now it's just tiresome and lazy.

Seems opinion is quite split on old BT here.

 

[JustKickIt]

Why would the AFL sanction one of their own employees for helping their team win.

Because he failed?

 

[IdiotBox]

What's wrong with our guys running towards their runner and the ball is kicked to that direction - causing their runner to be in the play. Hopefully a free kick is then paid

you know it makes sense!

Is Franklin's mark really a contender? Looks pretty run of the mill. I thought Stratts defensive mark was much better.... took real guts that one.

I've never noticed him saying it before..... I probably filter him out though when watching.

 

[Bikefreak]

We have dominated the footy review shows this week. I have watched just about all of them.

Funny that. They all sort of have to pay a bit of attention when they built $hitney up so much for this match.........and they didn't win.

Left quite a few "experts" with egg on their face. But do we really care..........? Aaaaah nah, no chance.

Our club is on a mission to go back to back. If we took notice of all of the "expert opinions" flying around atm we would end up with an identity crisis and probably throw the towel in on the way to the nuthouse in a nice white dinner jacket.

Under the radar is the way to travel as has been mentioned. Keep everything in-house and maintain her "steady as she goes".

GO HAWKS!!!!

Agree. I also thought Breust's mark was pretty impressive.

Should have been a free to Litherland for high contact in the contest.

Should have been a free to Litherland for high contact in the contest.

And yet today I heard the tail end of a conversation on KB's show about whether what Breust does to his opponent in the marking contest is legal! Buddy is fending off players right left and center and they single out Breust?

I liked in the article when the author said "...there was only pockets of heckling..."

Sorry to burst ya bubble mate, but there was far more people than just a few 'pockets'...

And also the comment by 'Mocca' was very good

Greg Denham on SEN just joined the chorus of media "experts" to say that had the swans kicked accurately, they would have won.
Why is it that the team that loses is the only one who can retrospectively kick more accurately??

Did he make that same comment Freo v Tankers

 

[Main Man]

According to Greg Denham the Swans would have won last week if they had kicked straight, very frustrating listening to some of these boneheads in the media, did he not watch the first quater when we had 4 more scoring shots, or the last 1.5 quarters where we totally dominated the match, did he just watch the last half of the 2nd quarter and the start of the third to come to this conclusion as this was the only time in the match where Sydney had any sort of control.

All this talk of Buddy being inaccurate when Roughead kicked 4.4 himself, same amount of scoring shots for 1 more goal.

It's like the myth of Fremantle's inaccuracy costing them early last year in the Grand Final with no credit going to us for controlling the game, we had 2 more scoring shots at quarter time (yes Fyfe kicked one out on the full) and 3 more scoring shots at half time, same amount of scoring shots at 3Q time but at that point the game was in the balance, who was the team that came out and won the match from there with a devastating burst of football, Fremantle wasn't it?

I've never worked that out either. It's like saying "if they played better than their opponents they would have won". I can't remember much in in the media after the close losses to Geelong saying if Hawthorn kicked more accurately it would have won. We did hear after our last two grand final wins that our opponents would have won if they kicked straighter though.

It staggers me how bone headed some of these commentators are, they get and idea in their head and go with it without actually looking into the game in depth, we outplayed Sydney for the best part of 3 quarters in that match.

As I just posted it is like the myth the Fremantle would have beaten us in the GF last year if they kicked straight.

Not sure about last year, but in 2012 Franklin's average was 3 goals 6 behinds.

Who is Greg Denham anyway? (Sorry, really don't know)

Ah yes, that "expert". Kept talking about how good Fremantle is and how their loss against St Kilda was an abberation and how Carlton had "no chance" of beating Fremantle. What a smart guy.

Plus the inclusion of Lake would have reduced their chance of having shots on goal to be more accurate as well. The game was what it was. Better side won on the day. No point talking about "ifs", the ladder doesn't take them into consideration.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Greg Denham should shut his ****ing mouth

RANT:
Greg Denham is just another print journalist getting unnecessary air time on SEN. He brings nothing to the sport, just like Robbo, Patrick Smith, Caro and others.

Who are they? Just journalists who go to the footy, they've got no other qualifications. And they don't even go to every game or even watch every game on television. And, because of their background, they seem to need to make a big story for the week, something "controversial", so people will sit up and take notice.

At least retired footballers have played the game at the highest and can use their experience to speak with some authority (although there are plenty of dunces amongst them!)

Rant over.

SEN is a rubbish station, 24/7 AFL talk (more or less) means too many knuckleheads who think they know what they are on about getting too much air time to voice their irrelevant opinions, that goes for people hosting/guests and the public who ring and dribble on about nothing.

We do not need a radio station dedicated to sport 24/7, it just means everything gets over analysed by people who think we care about what they have to say, it's not even entertaining, its putrid radio for the most part.

I had not listened to SEN after the disgrace that was the Brian Lake coverage until this morning, when I heard Greg Denham say that I just had to turn it off, I quickly remembered why I stopped listening to this station.

 

[JustKickIt]

I am guessing that if you have made proclamations about a team being "the best ever" and then they lose, you have to come up with an excuse for the loss. (eg they would have won except they missed some goals). Completely ignore the other side of the ledger because that harms your argument.
