I'm so angry at Bruce McEvaney

[Saints Angel]

It was not the Brownlow Medal as we know it. IT WAS THE "BROOOOSE SHOW". He had too much to say on all levels, especially when Dane Swan was announce as the Brownlow Medalist. It took ages for Swan to get the chance to thank people. As for Dal, I think he handled it beautifully.

[Dr Spaceman]

It was a tongue in cheek comment.

Tongue in cheek?

I know Bruce had a problem letting go of Swannie's hand but that's going way too far

Haha! But I still can't understand why Bruce took the sparkling away from Swannie...

I didn't mind the line, but was more peeved by Dal being called by Bruce as a surprise packet.

Dal has generally polled well, has now polled top five thrice and I think runner-up twice?

He had a standout year this year and but for a few too many losses early on when oppo teams took the votes he could easily have won this.

Showed me how under-valued we were as a team this year that Dal wasn't considered - and I think he was about $26 still on the day?

lmfao at wants sex with tom harley

[sRaf]

I chuckled. So did Dal.

Why are we having this conversation again? Oh right, there's a conspiracy against our club. Yeah, that's it.

I think it was stupid, and offensive to the professionalism of the club over the past 10 years.

I've seen dozens of players out at bars and clubs over the past couple of years, putting booze away like it's going out of fashion, but I've only ever seen one Saints player - and he wasn't even drinking.

I'm sure they do go out and have a beer, but if I was building stereotypes about players' drinking and parting based on what I've personally seen, the Saints are the best by a mile.


I found it ignorant and offensive.

See that's what I think too.

But you whine about it and the hack scribes leap all over St Kilda whinging rather that allude to the slobby tardiness of commentators who have been around far too long, are a stale as all get out, but smug in the knowledge that networks are loathe to make commenatary changes out of terror of upsetting middle australia's fear of anything resembling change...

McAvaney's constant drooling over stars and over-emotive and horribly sickly sweet sentiment is - apart from boringly repetitive - REALLY creepy.

The bloke makes my skin crawl.

[Moccha]

It's Bruce Wankervaney not McEvaney!

[Enrico_Misso]

Bruce has his favourites.
Who could forget his famous call as Chris Grant missed a shot at goal in the dying minutes of a tight match "Ooooh Carey would have kicked that!!".

StKilda is also clearly not a favourite.

Even after the photos came out?

What was that "special" show Bruce had about 10 years ago in prime time on 7?
He would interview famous sporting people.

Well actually he would dribble all over them.

The most sickening one was his interview of Carl Lewis.
Lewis never had a chance to speak as Bruuuce gushed on and on.
"Oh Carl I remember at Berkely Uni when you ran 9.865 into 2.414metres per sec head wind that was so speeeecial, and then your 4th leg in US team relay time trials where you made up a 0.493 sec deficit to win by 0.043, ooh that was special, and the time you ......"

Nauseating!

That's why he never watches the Footy Show - Seasons got axed while the Footy Show rated really highly and he didn't think it was fair his quality show failed while, well, you know...
