Robert Frigging Walls

[DJKCR]

Why at the start of the match when Zac dished out the tummy punch did he carry on saying that it is something that he needs to cut out of his game and it is stupid. Fast forward to Tippet doing it to Fisher and he says, there is bugger all in that. It's just like the Barry Hall punch all over again, didn't he say that Matt was staging at the time???

[clarky449]

Who cares what they say, they cant really say anything positive about us atm.

[gringo]

I got that he hates us again too. Said it was a win to Adelaide punching Fisher? He is an idiot.

[meher baba]

Robert Walls is a blithering idiot and Tim Lane hates the Saints. So I always turn the sound down when watching 10

[BallBanger]

thank god this is the last yr of the carlton social club appropriately called channel 10

Absolutely agree, but the scary thing is that the "blithering idiot" was on the panel that gave RL the coaching job.
Although I actually think he now hates RL going by his comments.

That was Rutten who did it to Fisher !!

[degruch]

Didn't mind Bruce's call at the start of the 3rd either "Are we seeing the end of an era"...25 minutes later, 3 points down! Pretty quick, aren't they?

[wallbanger]

It was Tippett....not Rutten, unless you are talking about a different incident. 150m behind the play, in Adelaides forwadline? Rutten down the other end of the ground.

[gringo]

That dick head Walls said we didn't have any backline players with skills as Fisher marks constantly and clears. He gets one pointless comment and says it over and over like it is somehow insightful. He is the most negative comments man in history, they banned Newman for being negative but let Walls be like a wet blanket over every game he comments on?

[matrix]

apparently there was four incidents that will get looked at
all crows players

we listening to roo and some other clowns
not sure who

roo was not bias at all
called the soft frees soft and said it like it was
was surprised

walls is a flog
so contradictory

and lane?
crikey as exciting and as accurate as a commentator as a cardboard box

[wallbanger]

Probably five incidents to be looked at.

1. Zac's gut punch on Knights. Looking at a week - ordinary record?

2. Tippetts gut punch of Fisher. Looking at a week, possibly downgraded with early plea?

3. Jacobs hit on Gram - elbow slid off shoulder into head. Should've been a free kick, unsure if a report.

4. Tambling forearm to back of Schneiders head. One week, maybe two.

5. Johncock/Roo collision. Appeared accidental, but definitely a shoulder turn from Johncock prior to contact. Interesting to see how it pans out.

OK My bad !!

I laughed!

I thought to myself 'someone really needs to walk up behind Walls whilst he's filling up his car at the servo or something and give him a short right to the liver and see how he goes'.

He paid out on Goose for jibbing it back in 05, and he did again with Fisher!

[wallbanger]

Yep. Disgraceful call. "Wasn't much in that" he said I think, as Fish was crouched down on the ground either winded or in pain, 150m off the ball.

What a joke.

[gringo]

Jacobs will go, ordinary attempt at a bump, it is his responsibility to avoid head high contact. He should know that when he bumped it was likely to make contact, he is tall and would have known in all likely hood that it would make high contact, if unsure you don't bump. Bad umpiring decision not to give a free.

Riciutto was a champion player and is a champion commentator.

Massive respect for him.

Listened to his commentary and was incredibly impartial. When disgraceful frees were given to the crows he made it very clear it was disgraceful. No bias at all, very refreshing to listen to.

Robert Walls also said that there were too many players in our defence who cant kick, and too many who wont take responsibility for trying to play attacking football, instead just content to kick sideways and backward

Cant argue with any of that Im afraid

I'd argue to a point.

I don't neccessarily think they're content to kick sideways and backwards. I think that's been a coaching directive for some time now for certain players to only kick sideways and backwards.

[joffaboy]

Most insightful point of the commentary was when the commnentaqtors where talking up our chances as we were behind - here comes the Saints, still a chance etc etc -

typical commentator tool for trying to inject excitement in the game. Haven't heard that about St.Kilda for about three years because we have been the dominant team (which most posters here complained about).

Show that the shoe is now on the other foot unfortunately

[MCG-Unit]

Walls would be one of most negative people I've ever heard - most of those so called 'special comments men' are..... And some of the callers as well.
They would rather tell you why a team is losing - and what they're doing wrong - than why the opposition is winning, and doing well. That's why I hardly ever listen to radio commentary, and quite often turn the TV volume off

Mercifully there was no Tim Lane last night, Hudson and Christian are way better IMO

Good point

Would have been 10 times worse if the Crows were mounting a comeback against us though I think, Crowd would have been roaring and taking the commentators right along with them

[St Lenny]

The media drive me insane. When ever you listen to the commentary, they ALWAYS appear to want the other team to win. Why are we so hated.

[Sainternist]

channel 10 are a blight (pardon pun) on the game. since having broadcasting rights they have provoked nothing but countless reactions of reaching for the mute button on the tv remote control.

i sincerely hope the likes of walls, hudson and lane are relegated back to radioland. not that radioland deserves to have them back onto a full-time roster over the airwaves. if anything, those three stooges should be made to do commentary for the deaf.
