I agree. We are playing Freo on their home ground and the commentators are always going to build them up for the home audience watching the broadcast. They often do that.
What annoyed me was Hodge, Richo, and BT bemoaning the umpiring now versus the good old days and not calling the actual game. We had to put up with over five minutes worth of that in the third quarter (I think) and then more after "that" decision. I dont give a rats what their opinions are. I want to hear them calling the game!
I did like Jonathan Brown after the match with his comment about what that umpire might think about his decision "when he is alone and having a coffee". That was entertaining at least.

Some of you lot are so sensitive. If anything the commentary was talking as if we had already won in the 2nd. You’re being ridiculous. |
Hodge made 18 special comments of which 17 were Freo favourable and 1 anti umpires. The whingeing squib is still bitter about 2023 GF. Oh yeah, as for the financial advice ads Luke, you're about as credible as Ivan Milat giving tourism advice!

"Luke Hodge STFU!"
We turned it on to commentary from "The Bev Show". Sadly, it was actually more entertaining than Ch7.
Hodge and Richo are just bad at the job. Yes they were good players, but their jobs should be going to professional callers.
I felt this way about Cameron Ling. He was an awful commentator/special comments person. Especially when Geelong were playing and he was pretending to be excited for the other team.
This is what I like about US sports. You can listen to the call from your own teams broadcast team. We need to do that here. Not "Press red for Ed". Just pro commentators approved to call for the clubs games.

Actually Carlton Radio on SEN is good value. It really is. It was especially good listening to that last quarter when we beat them. Geez they were flat when the siren went.  |

^Ditto the MONDAY BLUES, on Utube, take a peek. Six one eyed Arab (by their own admission) Bluescum fans, whingeing and carrying on, when they lose. They call us the filth, and come out with tired old jokes, like Pies fans are feral, have few teeth, and haunt Centrelink Offices daily. Total dickheads, but very hilarious.

JB is the best one of the Friday night crew.
But commentary can really make a moment even better.

| Gerard Whateley is easily the best commentator in Australian sport. Listen to his call of the last two minutes of the GF. Magical. |

Don’t they just love it when we lose? It’s party time, especially for BT the big turd. They are easily pleased in life if that’s all they need 🙄

If they told that fat turd to f^ck off in the change rooms after our next win [whenever the maggots don't swing momentum against us; good luck with that...] then perhaps he might get the picture...

Make NO mistake, the fat bastard never got over being left out of the 1990 team, that won the flag, and has spat venom at us ever since. Cannot stand him.
