The downfall of Fox Footy.

[Pistol Night]

If you can find a more unusual promo for Fox Footy I'd like to see it.

Fox wheeling out the eye candy for the lady viewers

 

[pattymalone00]

Know it’s not till next week they host a thurs/fri night game but any ideas where they will host the desk next week at marvel or will they just be in studio?

That promo was weird as ****. Self fellating bullshit.

I've found there's some poor direction in Fox's coverage. They will miss the action by showing a random shot of someone on the bench or something. Or use their stupid own cameras for a random shot that sucks. I thought it was pretty decent for the Hawks Bombers game and they did some nice different things with their cameras but last night was terrible.

Add onto that - I ****ing hate the terminology of footy. 'Stoppage game' - why not talk like a normal human and say they need to win stoppages. So stupid and wannabe.

 

[damochandler]

Are Sidebottom and Pendles really footys first couple?

 

[pattymalone00]

Did Collingwood not put anyone up on the field to be interviewed or change of practice already?

 

[janty]

Imagine having a promo showing the “best bits” of one game of commentary.

 

[Mentallo]

Jordan Lewis…

“You could see him at the top of the screen.”

Yep they are calling the game from Sth Melb.

 

[Mentallo]

“The Hornet”

You are calling for a national audience not for PAFCTV you hack.

Ahh this was meant for the Deeerrrrwayne thread but has a place here as well.

 

[pattymalone00]

It’s 11:45 and they’ve gone to the mini matches what happened to our 12-12 football

 

[Cleavy]

are West Coast playing today? pre-game coverage so far is 99% Lions

 

[Mentallo]

“Closest player to take the kick”

Long pause while camera cuts to coaches box.

Now if you were at the ground not in Sth Melbourne you would see who was taking the kick.

So unprofessional.

 

[hawkman]

They are obviously calling off a screen but the contrast in quality between the 2 commentators for the Brisbane West Coast game is like night and day

 

[calculon559]

Fox was stuck on the wide angle for a good couple of minutes around the 13.5m mark of the fourth quarter of the NM v MEL match.

 

[HTB]

Know it’s not till next week they host a thurs/fri night game but any ideas where they will host the desk next week at marvel or will they just be in studio?

Thursday is at Marvel

It probably started over a decade ago with the cricket, but is it with this obsession of videoing and showing the commentators? We don't care! Show the action.

So unprofessional.

Yep instead of paying seven commentators pay three to fly to the actual game

 

[Mr Ripper]

FF socials going about as well as their TV channel

 

[Slime Roy]

Hey,
If we're not already can we please boycott "On The Couch"
We deserve better.
I'd honestly rather watch "On The Sauce" than this year's line up.

It is stone cold boring...How far it has fallen since the days of Wallsy and Sheehan...and who in their right mind thought Jack Riewoldt was ready to host !

 

[Rich]

Mark Howard commentates like he does in the BBL.
Non-stop screaming.

When someone like Dennis Cometti raised his voice, it was for something worthy.

I’m waiting for the day he screeches “Jake Fraser McGurk!!!” during a footy game.

Started a drinking game during the BBL for how often he would say JFM in full, he’s obsessed by it

Probably Whateley I reckon, it's always 360⁰ of Separation where he's concerned.

Something wrong with my internet.
It just showed a Burns & Smithers clip.

 

[copthat]

I watched Jack Riewoldt do his intro today and immediately switched off it was that bad. Cringeworthy stuff.

 

[Slime Roy]

Are Sidebottom and Pendles really footys first couple?

Yeah,No.
Bruce Doull & Helen Damico.

Don't like Jay on first crack, reminds me of a slimy used car salesman and waffles on too long. Dicko, Kingy and Joey should be the full time panel
