vitstl. Maher works on fox now also doesn't he?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, on the soccer side of things. No boundary riding this year for Andrew "Youse Blokes" Maher, thank god.

 

[howardj]

Bit disappointed with the lead commentators on Fox

Anthony Hudson is Ok, but Matty Campbell and Dwayne Russell?

Would much rather Michael Christian and Tim Lane

 

[benchmark00]

Hudson, Christian and Lane are all bell ends imo. Also Walls.

Always funny to add up how many times Dwayne Russell says "gives it some shoe!" in the call.

You're forgetting Eddie as a commentator btw.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Oh, you're kidding. Christian is awful and Lane's got sucked into the cult of his own personality. Sees himself as half Martin Flanagan, half Bruce McAvaney.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Not a fan of Matty Campbell. Has a poor commentator's voice, and an even worse boxing announcer voice.

 

[howardj]

Should get Bruce and Dennis to do every match imo.

 

[Spikey]

Like Hudson and Lane. Hated Christian. Dermott is a solid addition. Over the moon Lloyd didn't get a gig. Don't really like what I've heard from Ricciuto, Johnson or Roos from last sseason's additions btw

 

[benchmark00]

Really enjoying Channel 7's line up.

Also, Dermott is ****ing annoying to listen to in special comments. I'm all for analysing the game, but he attempts to over complicate the very simple parts of football. ****ing horrible.

Wish Wayne Carey would have another crack at football on television. Was a great special comments man. And was good on Footy Classified imo.

 

[Spikey]

expended coaching panels are killing afl commentary imo

 

[howardj]

I think he's back on radio at least this year

Triple M

Brereton and Hudson will join Eddie McGuire, Jason Dunstall, Gerard Healy, Brad Johnson, Dwayne Russell, Tony Shaw, Liam Pickering, David King, Danny Frawley, along with a depth of talent that extends beyond the borders to include all-time greats of the game Paul Roos, Alastair Lynch, Mark Ricciuto, and Glen Jakovich.


you know, upon seeing all the names put out in front of me.....too many all time greats....

 

[benchmark00]

David King - best run and bouncer in the game.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

eww Jakovich

 

[howardj]

Still trying to bring the flat-top back, all these years later

 

[Spikey]

Brereton - don't mind
Hudson - like
Eddie McGuire - like, as long as he doesn't try to strike up banter with the other commentators
Jason Dunstall - annoys me a bit
Gerard Healy - don't mind
Brad Johnson - stop smiling you dick
Dwayne Russell - Comic relief
Tony Shaw - argh
Liam Pickering - meh
David King - meh
Danny Frawley don't mind

Paul Roos, Alastair Lynch, Mark Ricciuto, and Glen Jakovich - all ****ty

 

[benchmark00]

Lynch is allright, got no b33f.

 

[Spikey]

he always seems paired up with the wrong people.

eg he works with russell a lot

 

[Jono]

Robbo on 360 having a go at Maher was Gerard Whateley's reaction when Robbo repeatedly called Maher a wanker was gold.

Does Robbo still do stints on SEN? If so, him and Maher could have a run-in.

I know, as has been said here, Maher does the soccer shot on Fox but that's a bit different.
