Thoughts: No funny side to distraction from stars| Herald Sun?

Use Google news to get around subscription.

Reckon C7 are also pretty bad. Basically anytime Brian Taylor is on there will be a whole bunch of self-absorbed comments.

I can accept it a bit more on radio, because there are other options. You can always change the channel.

Can't do it with TV.

Mind you, it's a bit rich of the Herald Sun to be talking about trying to impose personalities on football.

and what do you know, no mention of Seven or Foxtel in that article...


"yes good call (X)" is fast becoming my most hated phrase in football

 

[vic_orthdox]

Thanks, Kirky.

 

[Spikey]

Terrific call BT

 

[benchmark00]

Yeah you're spot on, Richo.

Yeah Robbo is an absolute joke. Can hardly stand to watch 360 because he's such a pigheaded bogan ****wit.

Beats Brian Taylor out as my least favourite person in AFL broadcasting.

 

[benchmark00]

Fuller bristling!

One of the best pieces of footage going round:

AFL - Bryan Taylor goes nuts - YouTube

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Haha yeah, that's classic.

BT isn't that bad when he's not commentating really, I just find his calling really obnoxious, especially when Collingwood are playing.

Robbo needs to be sealed in a drum and floated out to sea though. Terrible bloke all round.

Tabloid ruckus 'sponsored by Carlton United'

Nathan Jones and Jordan Lewis both operating in the midfield tonight. **** I hope they run into each other. World might explode.

 

[Spikey]

Geee settle down there BT!

Come on Brumby, give SKD and Jono the point. It was ****ing Melbourne.

It's extraordinary what's happened to them. Should make for a cracking book.

Sadly they activated one of the compo picks, so they'll have picks 1 & 2

Bailey and his football department were drafting for a style of football that would never hold up. They were looking at the Cats 2007 and the Bulldogs during their successful times as a blueprint.

Mitch Clark really showing something, at least. Game's changed for forwards, the hit-up Riewoldt, Pavlich style just isn't nearly as important anymore (and that's what Watts' biggest issue is, IMO, that's the sort of play he's suited to), teams need to bang the ball in quickly to get it deep without as much precision. Clark works for that style.
