The downfall of Fox Footy.

[damochandler]

I watched that show "Bounce" for the first time in a long time last night.

Holy moly that is an awful show. How is this on TV? They couldn't even get a laugh from the studio audience. Ben Dixon is not funny. I don't care about your families Easter egg eating contest and I don't need to hear your faux excitement and stupid voices while going through the highlights.

Name a more vanilla, average footballer still getting a media gig. Who wants to listen to that hack talking about football?

It’s staggering Ben Dixon is still on fox. He’s terrible

That half-time piece of Lyon, Brown, Buckley and Lewis walking across the bridge was so cringe.

as a commentator? I like him as an analyst but I am not a fan of using former players as the main commentator. There should be room for the professional, trained broadcaster who has honed their craft. Montagna and Brown just aren't at the level of a Tim Lane or an Anthony Hudson.

I just hate that Montagna acts like a kid trying to impress his dad (King). Constantly says stuff to try and win approval and whenever King disagrees he folds immediately.

How good is actually being at the footy outside Victoria?

Good to get some fresh air outside of the basement they usually call from.

Better commentator than Dwayne, BT, Luke Darcy or Kelli Underwood. Got a better voice for it than Mark Howard.
Far out, AFL TV commentary is dire.

Nah, Brereton's still good in a special commentator role imo

Darcy is good imo.

 

[smy1305]

Hes very knowledgable Derm but takes 200 words to say what leigh matthews would say in 50. He should only be allowed 3 special comments per qrt because anymore means there is no game commentary as the quarter is over.

"anything you can do Joe I can do just as good". Almost feel bad for Dewayne having to sit next to it.

That would require Fox to depart from the rentagob philosophy. We need to start following the Benaud doctrine. Less is more!

 

[Cubs2Lions]

She just called McCluggage “Charlie” as in Charlie Cameron on multiple occasions

Can confirm, she’s the worst caller on Fox Footy

To be fair, most of the other commentators call half the comp Charlie as if it's their surname or their twin brother. So unprofessional.

 

[YouBeauty]

And there's a lot of competition for that spot.

 

[YouBeauty]

Yay best on ground is back!

 

[Falconista]

Darcy is good imo.

Lewis Martin has entered the chat.

Listen for Dermie saying "even I don't go on this long".

 

[JohnZ]

Listen for Dermie saying "even I don't go on this long".

Absolutely spot on.

You mean there's someone more vanilla than Nick Dal Santo?
