Footy media , love’m or hate’ m ?

Still feeling pretty annoyed about the horrendous bias of those commentators last night. They were all just barracking for a Port win. The height of unprofessionalism. At one stage McChins yelled “in the back” like a supporter in the stands when Dusty tackled a Port player. It was clearly not in the back and for once the umpire got it right.

As is the case every week we got royally rogered by the umpires but not one comment from the commentators about it. We happen to get a dubious free and they fall out of their chairs screaming how unlucky Port is. Yet Port continually got away with incorrect disposal when tackled but move in nothing to see here.

It is becoming unbearable and unsufferable. It is so unprofessional it’s embarrassing for the broadcasters.Its been happening for years. When we were *smile* they’d laugh at us. Now were the best they cheer for us to lose. The Brisbane final last year was almost as bad as last night. Can’t recall a dominant team being afford so little respect.

I so badly want to win it again this year to stick it right up there fat arses. *smile* em all!

That was one of the worse commentary I have heard for some time, bordering on bias, supporting the opposition, continually not calling as it is in relation to frees for & against. Barracking was obvious to see & hear. I was wanting & yelling at the tv to shut the FU & just commentate the game..Unprofessional to say the least. They loved we lost.

Harry O quoted in the paper today as supoorting his brother Mabior in lightof what happened, Mabs should point out he's not his brother and tell him to *smile* off.

Mab's dad quoted as well, saying all's well, no issues, can we get on with things.

Agree 100%, I have sent an email about how unprofessional McGuire's commentary was.

They will be out to stuff us all week let them have their wankathon over Port.

We needed a hurtful loss to a contender to prick us back to reality.

Finals campaign momentum build for the Tigers starts with round 12 .....................again.

McGuire Dosent ever make mistakes, he has a greater ego then Trump , as well as been the greatest hypocrite on the planet . Absolute pig of a man , disgusts me how *smile* weak how many AFL people are intimidated by him.

bit of an easy target with this one but I reckon his matey matey way with the Pies players are some of the reason they have so many of field indiscretions

I tried listening to the ABC while watching but it was about 5 seconds behind up here in the bush .

McChins and Russell got great delight in barracking for Port yesterday, but to be fair they should be made to listen to that again by the Fox Sports, it wasn't professional at all. What is the agenda Of McChins calling footy, I just don't get it, he is a club President?

Mark Ruciutoo is a complete *smile* head.

no wonder Adelaide will be the first team to go unvictorius in a hundred years.

they have a vindictive moron with a disturbingly distorted perception of a game of footy, as their Director of Footy.

They are completely rooted as long as he holds power

I hope he holds onto it tighter than Robert Mugabe

McGuire's actually a pretty good commentator with a tendency to barrack for the underdog, but that wasn't Port yesterday. He had his Collingwood hat on and it was infuriating. I didn't "press red for Ed"!

Excellent point easy,

Ricciuto and Dunstall and Pavlich are the brains trust behind the crows distinct possibility of going through a season winless.

Not sure why we need to be subjected to their pathetic standard of commentary.

Nobody was worse than Eddie yesterday though.

its hardly looking like a great CV is it?

'chaired the working group that reviewed all aspects of Adelaide football club in the period where they went from 2nd to winless last'

its the kind of thing would have got you shortlisted for a coaching job at Richmond in the 90's

Often think how much money these blokes like Lyon, Ricciuto, Dunstall, Lloyd etc make out of footy without putting their balls on the line.
