Malcolm Blight's inane comments

[Wowser]

What is with this bloke? He talks so much garbage that you can just tell that his fellow commentators are thinking "WTF?"...

Some of his gems today (Pies v Eagles) included...

some crap about even numbers being better therefore we need to change the distance for a legal mark from 15 (odd) to 20 (even)

some more garbage about "things that dont change...stay the same"...errr duh?

more crap about nicknames and what you name your dog

5 years contracts (to which Steve Q said "lets talk about that later Malcolm")

I could keep going...

They need to get rid of him.

 

[SOSBenny]

its a boring game...they need stuff to talk about. Cut him some slack

 

[Thewlis Dish]

He's a star and great value. Much better than the carbon copy "special" comments people you get these days.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

He's a star and great value. Much better than the carbon copy "special" comments people you get these days.

More intereting than the other special comments doofuses ie Schwarze, but he does say some rather strange things sometimes. I wouldnt say great value, but at least he's different.

 

[Omegaman]

he's eccentric but I don't mind him. I reckon he is getting under Voss' skin a bit, "correcting" him on coaching matters like playing in front. Voss almost sounded defensive when Blight queried him about a young player rushing the ball through under pressure.

 

[Power King]

bucks and darcy are the best special commentators on free to air by a mile

i dont mind malcolm though

 

[Godfrey Jones]

i like malcom blight, sometimes he just seems to be talkin to himself and just rambling and mumbling away

but he actually is insightful and knows the players and makes some good, non-obvious calls.

 

[Father Jack]

I like Malcolm's comments. On that change thing, I can't remember exactly what it was he said, but it was along the lines of that you have to change to improve, or something.

 

[Ghostwriter]

I thought his questions to Voss about why he wore a glove were good, almost got Voss to admit the glove was useless.

I agree . Random is good .

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

He's far too negative. That's my main issue.

 

[BoonDawg]

I agree . Random is good .

There is a massive difference between random comments and complete utter rubbish.
I am 100% in favour of removing this bloke from my lounge room. Currently nobody gets under my skin more then Malcolm.

His "special comments" are indeed very very special.

He needs to go.

 

[viper05]

Id rather listen to blight than jakovich any day

 

[pharro]

The bloke is certainly insane but I'd much rather listen to someone who has been there and done it all and no longer gives a toss what anyone thinks, rather than the bevy of senior coach wannabes or the failed duds.

So you prefer the Ox ?

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

I can't stand him, and he coached my team to 2 premierships.

 

[WaltzingMatera]

Yeah but that doesn't really count. I might understand Jakovich more if he spoke in Croatian.

 

[Invigoration]

Malcolm has a severe mental disability, I was cringing all day during the broadcast.

He is just so, so bad,

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Id rather listen to blight than jakovich any day

Agreed.

There's some real shockers going around. I think we might have misinterpreted the term "special" comments. Schwarz, Jakovich and Blight are all showing just exactly how special they are at the moment.

Another thing that annoys me is commentators that can't get simple things correct. The bloke on Ten today (Christian?) was calling Waters Watters, and made a couple of other minor errors which were corrected about 30 seconds later. Seriously, it's not that hard to be professional. If you don't know the small facts just stick to calling the game.

 

[numchuks]

Blighty's awesome. His 3 goal theory never grows old.

 

[krustyman]

Blighty is a tough uncompromising commentator, not afraid to go against the flow, but he does harp on things. He gives a good prospective on the game or player.

 

[djandtz]

malcolm and robert walls are the best at there craft only the uneducated would dissagree

Oh the irony.

 

[Godfrey Jones]

what is that?

 

[Godfrey Jones]

but yeh, luke darcy, blighty and nathan buckley are my three favourite special commentators

darcy has got great speaking skills and is always articulate
bucks not so eloquent, he ums alot and his voice is weird lol. but has great knowledge of the game,
blighty is just from another world. always entertaining. you can tell others in the com box dont really enjoy it at times and that makes it even more fun. but seriously he's a smart guy too. he knows what he is talking about
