It was full on barracking for Freo, who won the game apparently.

I watch but mute the biased bastards. I put radio on, but its ten seconds time delay, ABC commentators not too bad, though MM can be a cantankerous old fart sometimes.!

Hodge was passionately against the free on Sullivan and then advocating a 50 in favour of Collingwood.

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.

PNC you can download the Sen app and they now have “SYNC” just choose the correct button ch7 or Kayo works great!
Never disperse your focus unless absolutely necessary. Face one adversary at a time!

What made the 2023 Grand Final not so good is listening to Richardson and Hodge commentating. Seriously, they are so bad and boring and lifeless and have been for a long time, they would be great at a Day Care Centre as guaranteed to put those kids to sleep in no time.

Luke Hodge should never be allowed to commentate another Collingwood match.
He cannot hide his hatred for us.

Never thought I'd miss him and McAvaney so much. But I really do. I get misty nostalgic over the commentators of the past. Even the late Drew Morphett.

The biggest problem of course is that Aussie commentators don't STFU and let the picture tell the story. Watch some of the best US commentators or soccer commentators in England. It is minimalist commentary. These dipsticks think they have to fill every single second with their inane jabber! Pathetic.

And it's not just footy. Compare the great Richie Benaud who was economical with his words, with the crap we are forced to listen to when watching cricket these days. They love the sound of their own voices.

I tend to agree with this. Dayne Russell is about the only commentator I can't abide. I disagree that the commentators are biased against Collingwood, I guess people are hearing what they want to hear.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
