Would you want an All Saints commentary team?
Hi Sainters,
Saw in the Hun that Fat Eddie will have a bunch of goons with him to provide an "all Collingwood" commentary option on Fox Footy this weekend - "pres red for Ed" - here's the link: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/teams/e ... 6622915089
I'd hate to be one of the cleaners who'd have to tidy up the studio after Eddie & co - the stench from all that colly crap would be awful
I wondered whether I would listen to an all-saints team but on balance, I don't think I would want to. I'd want to hear a balanced commentary which acknowledges the oppositions exploits as well as our own and provides a fair and frank assessment of the game being played. Must say however, at the moment a lot of the commentary is biased - especially Bogan Brian and Dwayne the Pain.
What do others think?
Go Saints!!
TFD

They are milking it as its an exclusive fox footy game. Unbelieveable considering its Richmond Pies!
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.
Re: Would you want an All Saints commentary team?
I wouldn't want a biased call (I do that myself)
but I would like to be able to watch saints highlights and discussion at quarter/half time

Good on them for doing it, but seriously who really wants to hear Tony Shaw commentate, he really is one bloke who has NO idea about the modern game.

They used to do this on Channel Nine. Every time Collingwood played. No need for a red button.

Re: Would you want an All Saints commentary team?
What I'd really like is either a version of the Fanzone commentaries (one fan from each team commentates) or, best of all, the option to mute the commentary and listen to the crowd...
One sided commentaries are fantastic - the ones in New Orleans generally descended into unstable anarchy in the 80s

You can listen to Bristle tell you Carlton are still a massive chance at 28 points down with two minutes to go, you can listen to him tell you all about Lorne, or you can watch a monkey on a pushbike...I know which I prefer...

If you want an all saints commentary team, just come and sit in front of me and my mates at the game.
It's the full on match day experience... you'll most likely get beer and pastry over you and your eardrums assaulted by a few verbal obscenities...

Re: Would you want an All Saints commentary team?
Le'ts not forget that other unbiased commentator on Fox, his program will be called
"Roos Views, the bias of the Swans"
I so gave it to Roos on a survey Foxtel sent out a few weeks ago, about his bias and when they sought my opinion on the ad he appears in said "Loathe Paul Roos, never watch that ad" I hope they considered my view.

Re: Would you want an All Saints commentary team?
Problem with the red button is that it reverts to a barely SD picture that is way worse than the HD vision on the main channel.
