He should go for being shit at his job. But then again, so should half the football media. Doesn't seem to do any research, and often makes dramatic statements on shaky factual basis. And seems to have an odd obsession with men with large thighs.

Same as Eddie when he was commentating... my issue wasn't that he knew more about Pies players... it was that he didn't bother learning about the other 15 clubs. They get paid for a reason and I don't think it's hard to actually do some research into debutantes above and beyond what's put in front of them an hour before the game.

Spot on.

These guys get paid what, 6 figures, to comment on Aussie Rules Football. You'd think the least they could do is watch as many of the 8 games per week, even if it's only say 6, week after week. Do that for half a season and you'd know nearly every player.

Most die hard supporters do this; why can't people in that very profession do as much?

It's why rarities such as Nathan Buckley and Matthew Lloyd are worth their weight in gold; being so fresh out of the game, they know just about every listed player in the league, and can actually something more than a definitive "Ahh, no" when asked whether they think Port Adelaide can make the eight (see: Robert Walls' question time on OWAAT).
 
i dont like him, but id rather see him still in a job when we starting winning big finals! to stick it up him.

Quartermain's pretty hopeless with his footy knowledge too. He made the statement 2 weeks ago that Jonathan Brown "is not the player he used to be, he's a bit past it". :confused: WTF? 3 best and fairests in a row, leading the Coleman before his groin issues this year and still around the 3+ goals a game mark. When Darcy pointed this out, Quarters looked pretty sheepish and said "well you've just destroyed my argument". No shit - perhaps think things through before you say them!

x2
Don't care about his bias so much as his complete lack of anything useful to say. Should go, but don't care really, cos I stopped taking notice of him, Blight, Sheehan, etc, etc a long time ago.
 
Wallsy is a flog of the highest order. When there is a move that worked he says "I really like that move" alternatively when a move doesn't work "I would never have made that move", he is too much of a band wagon rider when players/teams are going well he sings the praises but if they go off the boil, he turns on them in the blink of an eye

sack him as soon as you can
