Was great to see Ed give the 7 commentator team a little bit of a bake on his show with Dermot last night. Unfortunately will miss press red for Ed on account of work on saturday  |

It will be replayed at 11am next Friday on Fox Footy, this time in HD with all the colour of Eddie's call in full flight.  |

He absolutely lost it that night and his perspective in calling any kind of sport since has gone down the toilet with his credibility.
I think what I hate most is not his obvious anti-Collingwood bias, but his hysterical over-reaction to anything that's happening. Yes he fawns all over his favourite players (or wished love objects), but his ability to call the most pedestrian football matches like they are an FA Cup final that is 4-all in overtime is unbelievable. Once you have called a passage of play the best team goal since sliced bread, where do you go for an encore? Bruce has done his own brand and footy a dis-service by acting like an over-excited school girl on a first date.
As for the other drongos what can I say? Leigh Matthews is the Alf Garnett of commentators now. From the very first bounce he is looking for something negative to say about us. He's a born whinger by the sounds of it. Tom Harley has absolutely no authority in his voice. He speaks too fast and his voice is too highly pitched to be taken seriously. Until that Swisse ad pointed out he had a kid I could have sworn he was Gay. And I mean no disrespect to Gays. But the fact Bruce wanted Harley in the box with him might be a very good reason he has the gig when other better qualified candidates are left in the cold.
Besides the HD picture on Fox miles better than Seven. |
Yup all of it. It's amusing when it's not your team playing or you don't particular care about the outcome, but when your teams playing you want good quality reporting, not blatant favouritism for either team, and not wierd little screeches.
I actually miss Rex hunt, at least his wierd stuff was entertaining

I thought The non-red commtary was great today ; Brereton makes interesting observations, and Huddo conveyed genuine excitement and appreciation for both teams. It put Buce's simpering, sycophantic slavering slush to shame.

To be fair just about anyone puts Bruce to shame

When we only get 9 free kicks for a game and the commentators say almost all our frees are either not there or questionable, something is up.
Bruce is beyond ridiculous. The standard of commentating is on the whole amateur.
Harley is the worst at the moment in my opinion.
Bruce is just annoying to me. When Harley speaks, I want to throw the tv over the balcony. |

^ I'll tell you what, the whole Seven commentary team is shite with a capital C for crap!
As bad as Brucey, Harley and Barney are (and they are terrible), last night listening to BT, Darce, Richo and Lingy (the nicknames are compulsory on Channel Bogan) drove me mad. Luke Darcy loves the sound of his own voice. BT makes so many obvious errors it is amazing he keeps his job. Richo is a twerp (but a likeable one) and Ling is as annoying as he was a player, but at least he offers the most sensible footy comments.
The major problem is this, Aussies now have no idea how to comment on major sport. We are simply not in the same league as the best in England or the USA. We used to be good and you only need to watch old broadcasts with Lou Richards, Mike Williamson or Ian Robertson and Tim Lane at his best to know that. The most infuriating part of the "new" Aussie commentary is that they completely DISRESPECT the game by chatting inanely over the top of play. Its like a bunch of blokes (yes there's that bogan reference again) drunk and talking in their loungeroom while the game is on the tele.
Stick to the facts Channel Seven and stop over-hyping our game!

Today during the Suns Dogs game Bruce McAvaney invented a new term for dribbling a football through the goals from distance..."sends a chaos type kick at goal". Really? No seriously...really, Bruce? Please give it away...NOW!

Yes, but was it chaos, or KAOS?
