Terrible terrible voice, she has a voice for radio... tv... well not being in the media
I only watched a highlights package that went for 3 or so minutes and turned it off half way because I couldn't stand hearing her voice any more
Would have prefered to take a cheese grater to my ears
 
She gets lost in the crowd effects also.

She sounds like a fan yelling out from the stands. A fan with an annoying voice.
 
Voice irritating, and not strong enough......use her for interviews pre and post interviews only.....if she stays on I'll stop watching..
 
Kellie Underwood uses too many cliches and her voice is too rough for a commentator.

She needs to polish it a bit and relax with what she says.

During the Cats-Hawks game yesterday, I got more pissed off with Blight patronising and overtalking her commentary.

Blights does that to everyone though because deep down he thinks he was a better player and coach than everyone he commentates with. Unfortunately he may be right.
 
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! :clap

I was going to look to see if someone had made comment on this issue - and I'm so pleased to see that sanity - and not sickeningly political correct clap-trap has won!

Watched both last week and this week - and enough is enough!

Couldn't watch the last quarter (actually thought the Cats were gone) ....... and came back to find an absolute thriller had been played out!!!!! >:(

Just couldn't stand the commentary.

Bogun / nasal sounding / over-cliched barely scratches the surface!!!!!!!!

I had at least hald a dozen text from others saying the same thing.


The most devoted Hawks fan i know almost turned it off.

Lets see how Ch10 respond to legitimate criticism and viewer feedback!
 
I liked her yesterday ALOT more when she wasn't putting on the fake enthusiasm. When she was relaxed it was actually a breath of fresh air having a woman's voice/perspective in there calling the game.


When she gets excited though - She doesn't have the voice to carry it.


If she relaxes, she'll go fine.
 
I dont like her calling games of AFL footy. I really dread the moment she gets a Richmond match cause it will drive me bonkers.

I did a quick experiment during the Hawks Cats game and realised she came up with 5 footy cliches in a row to descibe a play. It was pretty cringe factor worthy.

I think political correctness has gone too far!!!
 
Just on a slightly different issue, was listening to 774 pre-match Friday night. I have wondered for a long time why good old aunty persists with the MOST USELESS special comments man in the business (that"s a big call given D Frawley is a starter) - PETER SCHWAB. Complete and utter imbecile! He was making a comparison between Richmond and Newcastle United in the EPL, but in a derogatory way. Sure, Peter, both are big and under-performing clubs. But, both have a passionate supporter base that can sustain them through these times. Wouldn't North love to sellout round 1 after 30 years of crap? If I were Ryan Giggs entering coaching for the first time, I'd take Newcastle ahead of Sheffield Wednesday (all due respect) any day of the week. What this bloke knows about football can be written on the back of his coaching achievements CV.
