Poorly worded. Most commentators open their mouths and flap their lips before their brain has a chance to catch up. Flog ia an accurate description.
Joey 17...BJ 16......Dal 15..yet we are getting smashed in the clearances?
A few of you need to get over the biased commentating..yes it is pro-Sydney but if they were 17-0 and we were 11th but playing very wellthen they'd favour us. Been going on since day dot. Sheesh every time we play interstate I hear the same old whinge. Yes they have local colour guys who can be one sided but I'm listening to 774 and Aussie Jones and Co are being pretty fair. Not every commentator in the land hates St Kilda
So what is the forums view, what do we need to improve on in the second half?
IMO we need to get the game on our terms instead of playing this slow scrappy game. I know it is the size of the ground that contributes, but we need to find space somewhere...

swans way
i dont hear any bias in the commentary
u know if they dont praise us every 5 secs it doesnt mean its bias towards the other team.
maybe the swans are all over us and doing the harder stuff so maybe it gets commented on.
win or lose im not overly fussed
a win would be good but hey it aint the end of the world
but im almost tempted to say i want us to lose so we can see the threads started from about 20 secs after the games finished...with nuff nuffish comments flowing fast
sydney are moving the ball quicker
stop this from happening and do it ourselves
(IMO)

Its not the biased commentating its the lack of factual commentating. When in doubt they make it up ie Rooey doesnt look like he will be back in the near future, 1 min later he is back. They got far too bogged down with him being injured rather than just telling us the facts.
Really hard to watch on telly without the luxury of seeing the whole game unfold being there live, it causes frustration thats all

Yeah sounds good. We are a very fit team though so hopefully we can wear them down like we have done in the past
all you people with the harvey arms up avatar confuse me... how often I just glance and think "oh it's michael" then look at the username to see someone else. now I love the great man as much as anyone, but doesn't he have any other photos floating around... confusing a poor blonde
