Fox commentary... disgusting

Post: # 1468299Post Simmo2 »

I have turned it off.

Summed up by Jason Pig Dunstall saying the difference between St.Kilda of 09 when we went 19-0 and Port now was that Port have played all the hard teams and St.Kilda hadnt.

These morons arent serious?

Wow, I'm not watching Fox Footy tonight, but it certainly sounds like Piggy has a similar view of our club as his old teammate Dermie. Or worse...

Make no mistake. Russell hates our club. Enjoys us being down.

Do they still have the "no commentary" option for Fox Footy? If you know what's good for you, you should be choosing that instead of listening to the moronic inferno.

Actually said we won our first twelve, but hadn't beaten the top teams like Port had. Firstly, you corkhead, Dunstall, we won our first NINETEEN, which included every other top eight team, and Port has yet to beat Sydney. They are woeful and Dunstall's the one who's meant to be the "smart one"! Good grief, doesn't that say it all?

As for that idiot Russell, I had to laugh one day when the commentators had their descriptions put on the screen beneath them. Tony Shaw was described as 300 gamer and Premiership captain, Brereton's was five times premiership player. Dwayne's was "fox commentator", hilarious, but appropriate and accurate.

What about that other stooge, can't see beyond the SA border.

Nothing changes with Foxtel commentary no matter the changes within their callers.

It's all about brining bias into the game , heaven forbid they are there just to call a game.

It's almost like they're living vicariously through the winning side so they can relive their so called glory days.

That's it, I'm done. Why bother when players get frees when it's obvious you miss the head. That's soul destroying. I hate football right now, it's full of cheats and bias. Yes we are bad, yes we have lots out, yes we are getting a belting but for gods sake just do you job AS A PROFESSIONAL. I would get the sack if I made this many mistakes.....

I am almost done with this game too. Stopped going to the footy since I realised we didnt get a dime from the Etihad deal anyway. Comp is stuffed and finally the masses are speaking with their feet. Looking forward to David Villa joining Melbourne City FC. Gonna give the A league my coin instead

Well thats very sad. Aussie rules is the greatest game in the world. Soccer a ho hum game IMO but obviously not most of the rest of the world. Yep and its great that they have a guy for a few weeks. Pity if they make the finals he will be in the USA. yep thats a great game.

The thing that annoys me about Dwayne is that when we are down he sticks the boots in and when we were up he barracked for the under dog.

Untainted draw... only way a sport can be fair. Its a good sport.

Till this game goes 2 matches against every team.. home and away, with a mid-week cup throughout the year so smaller teams have skin in the game all year... its going nowhere quick.

Melbourne, Saints, Bulldogs, Kangaroos.... whats the point of following as a supporter if the league is geared to Sydney, GWS and Gold Coast winning as much as possible to "grow" the game

Yep because they are going to play 34 games. Seriously why is the 2 games so important now but it wasnt when we made the GF. You sound like a poor loser if that is an issue.

Was that Simmo2 before the match, hanging out at the Mr. Whippy truck before the game? Soft as ice cream, son.

They could easily play 34 games plugger. Expand the size of the lists. We'd see younger players, a broader spread of talent and more tactics in terms of looking after lists.

The A League plays 27 games. I assume that's 3 times against every team. Home and away and ????

I take it you are referring to that buffoon, Ricciuto? A protected species in the capital of mass murderers and sex offenders. Well known he has escaped prosecution several times for assault. Also most famous for his "initiation" of new crow's players. He'd take them on a "fishing" trip on the Murray and offer them some funny, coloured pills from his tackle box. Allegedly nearly got Simon Goodwin killed from the supply of drugs. Another fine, upstanding member of the football fraternity, as well as being an inarticulate knucklehead of the highest order.

Jesus, I was hesitant to watch the reply of Wingard's mark and it was just as bad as I thought it would be; Dwayne absolutely creamed his pants. It was a beauty of a mark but ffs Dwayne the sycophant basically ruins everything he touches.

Settle pettle. You divert the real issue that we are rubbish and in full rebuild mode and start a thread on useless commentators. Who cares? How's it effecting us as a team? If we were a good side you wouldn't care as much.

We all get upset when we are reminded of the only 4 years ago bounce of the ball etc. It's only natural. It's tough supporting us this year and will be tougher next year.

Expect pain, fury and fighting in this forum for a while yet. It's our vent.
