Bruce is a Group One performer whose owners kept racing him long beyond what was reasonable. Racing will still do well with him.
Now, how do we get the tarps around BT?

He was a great caller many years ago. He is now a parody and his decision to retire is well overdue. His call of our PF was abysmal.
When Ladhams kicked a goal in the last quarter; “He’s playing next week BT! He’s playing next week!”
Funnily enough I didn’t see Ladhams on the Gabba in the GF.

Yeah he was in decline but was one of the best in the past
this is one of my favourites

He was more excited with Ablett's *smile* handball then Dusty's 4th goal.
'He and Barry Cable to get 20 possessions & 2 goals in 2 Grand Finals'
How about the fuken goal?
How about the pathetic dropped mark by Stanley?
How about the 4 Geelong player's watching Dusty stroll past them.
How about Novak's efforts to tackle Dusty.
Who gives a *smile* about Barry Cable??
Apologies for having to listen to Rex in the first part !!
At least BT sounded like he unbias.Does anyone know if Emma Murray is available for consults with fans?
McAvaney was devastated we got back into the game.
1 more goal and it could be over.
There was still 2 qtrs to go.

I'd love to watch that game again. That clip is a stark example of how much he's declined. Compare it to his call of Jack tapping it to Dusty in last year's PF.
This Barry Cable moment (he mentioned him 4 times) was when Bruce officially 'jumped the shark.' It was an irrelevant and insipid call of a truly incredible goal. I'm surprised Bonecrusher didn't get a mention whilst he was at it.
Bruce was a great caller, but over the last half dozen years or so, where every game caller has to have some kind of schtick to make things even more exciting. his growling n drooling commentary was almost vaudevillian slapstick.
Bruce retires n all it means is that I'll still keep the volume at minimal to mute levels when I watch broadcasts. Way to many gibbering idiots all desperately trying to be important to the game. It's footy n generally pretty fast paced n interesting without the constant dribbling n over the top informative explanation *smile*. They can save that *smile* for stop start games like Baseball n Gridiron where every millimetre n half touch of the ball is a life n death statistic scenario.

Jack s tap over 3 Cats to Dusty to run into an open goal after Short had dodged 2 Cats and after Tigers had won the ball from a Lynch behind..
Was seriously a fabulous performance but got little recognition.
It was at a crucial stage and Jack was simply sublime.

I must say the Irony is amazing how when we were *smile* forever for years we were the least offensive and most laughed at side in the game.
The lovable dummy in the corner the inoffensive non threatening one.
The media would enjoy our failure and our pain they fed of it and we were a great source of mirth and satire.
BUT THEN !!
Finally we come good for a bit and we have drawn derision and disdain for the most part for 2 seaons unlike the love and floggery and palarvor afforded to Brisbane the Hawks, Swans and Cats.
We weren't supposed to stay good we were to get our token feel good McDonalds award Doggies flag and then pisss right back off into irrelevance again.
But they forgot a Premiership winning Richmond Football Club is far from irrelevant.
Now we are really upsetting them.
Hopefully we take it up a notch to absolute Grand *smile* Taking levels by pinching one more how good would it be then.
Yep this is my concern. Almost bet they go with Darcy for Friday nights now with BT.
Why can’t we have Jason Bennett. The guy is great.

Hear ! Hear Chumpley Chimpley ! One of your least worst posts.
McAveny’s abject barracking against us the last few years is finally put to rest.
That PF was an absolute disgrace.
Thank you Dudford. Yes his PF call was appalling. Almost as bad as your use of the exclamation point!
