10 mins in and i'm already to shoot mc avaney

But on the whole commentary thing it was terrible. Not in the slightest bit entertaining and not many real insights either. Just so pedestrian and all I can say is I hope it's not like this for the next 5 years or I'll be sick

Would you rather Eddie McGuire??

I never ever thought I would say this but YES I would

I'm enjoying it, like slipping into a comfy pair of slippers to hear Bruce again. ;D

I'd prefer not to be hearing the umpires so much though.

Least he is passionate, knowledgeable about the game and knows the entertainment is on the screen and it is not about him unlike Brayshaw, Russell, Taylor, Brereton, Hunt

Totally agree.

Schwarz looked and sounded like he had just got out of bed, as for the calling of the game, I had no problems with it.

Unsurprisingly the Foxtel game was much more pleasant to watch.

The Grybas,Lynch and Healy combination was a good one.

And no freaking ads.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Lynch? What were Fox on when they signed this bloke? He is in desperate need of a personality transplant. We had Carey last year who was surprisingly good on commentary and we got Lynch instead of him. I don't know who Wayne upset, but I'd like him back on Fox.

 

[evo]

I'm happy to give Lynch a chance.As i was the Duck.

I didn't think he was that bad.Veteran of the game,recently retired.Gives good insight into the set shot.

So he's monotone,I can live with that.

That female goal ump is quality, has to be said.

Is it the same one as always.

Yes she is but it still has to be said.

Keep it coming.

[quote author=taraba]Kind of agree with you there Ant... She ain't too shabby at all[/quote]

I never thought I could love an umpire.

PS hate McAvaney

 

[Scoop]

Thought last nite was really shabby.

Shocking game but it felt like very little research had ben done on the players even though they were basically the seconds.

Bruce struggled, Dennis's comedy seemed to be ignored by the others and almost frowned upon and The Ox is OK on radio but he added nothing. The second half was better with Watson in the box. At times ther was too much background talking, the camera angles will take getting used to but may be OK in the long run but overall a very unpolished telecast.

Hope it improves over time, I think it will.

Missed the Scum- Kangas game but am listening to the Bris- Saints game on 7.
Two words to describe the commentary
Flamin Bland.
Are they discussing what brand of detergent they use to wash their laundry or trying to call a footy game.

 

[TigerForce]

After half a decade of not commentating, it'll obviously take time for Bruce to get in to the rhythm again.

 

[JR8]

In defence of the commentators though its been a pretty ordinary game with few highlights.

The heavy rain is certainly to blame for that.
