TalkingCarlton :: View topic - Fox Footy commentators make all of the commentators

What was funny was how they kept on talking about whether Port Adelaide could get their second win for the season (when I thought that we had exactly the same opportunity!). They went to the 3/4 time break asking the question, can Port get up, as though it was for Adelaide-only viewing.

Don't they know Port Adelaide supporters can't afford Foxtel? :wink:

You could hear the front of Craig McDermott's pants straining whenever Dew went near the ball.
KB is a good commentator, the other two are not.

No way on God's green earth that KB wanted us to win tonight - he is a miserable, shrivelled, wizened little man, who has hated Carlton with a passion for over 40 years, the fact that the other Fox commentators kept on saying that KB wanted Carlton to win shows how biased and crappy they were. :roll:

Actually the game is on FTA in Adelaide.

am a bit surprised that McDermott would be biased towards port - he's a Glenelg man who always had a soft spot for us through his mateship with sticks.

Then again, stuffhim he's just another flower croweater. Isn't that right Camel? :lol:

Yes, give me a dollar for each time KB said "stands and delivers" and "tough in the clinches".

Excluding KB, they are one eyed. Every Carlton free that was 50/50 was called lucky. Every 50/50 PA free was a free, including the one against Karl in the last quarter. Both players infringed on one another, play on.

I generally don't mind KB, he's impartial and describes the action reasonably accurately which is all I ask for in a commentator.

THE COMMENTATORS CONTRIBUTED TO FOX FOOTYS COVERAGE BEING ABSOLUTELY AVERAGE. SWITCHED IT DURING THE BREAK TO CHANNEL 10'S CALL AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS SO MUCH BETTER. FOX FOOTY HAVE THE WORST, LEAST TALENTED GROUP OF COMMENTATORS GOING AROUND BESIDES FOR CLINTON AND GERARD, AND IF MATHEW CAMPBELL AND KEVIN BARTLETT CALL ANOTHER CARLTON GAME I WILL PERSONALLY STORM TO FOX FOOTYS STUDIOUS IN SOUTH MELBOURNE AND SCREAM AS LOUD AS I CAN. THESE TWO ABSOLUTELY KILLED THE COVERAGE-- GET HANDS ON A GRANLAND OR EVEN A LONERGAN SOMEONE WHO CAN CALL THE @#$%&! GAME.

Yep. Chris McDermott was a hack and is still a donut punching nobody. It's laughable that he is at Fox Footy, where all the rejects go to get a job - That's why you see morons like Glenn Manton being boundary rider and not knowing what the frig to say, so he says the same thing three times in the same sentence.

I think his use of those two phrases may be more indiscriminate in nature.

It's always the same with home games of any non-Vic club - Peter Wilson in Perth for eg - they seem to think that Adelaide / Perth / Brisbane / Sydney people are the only ones watching and therefore gear it towards that audience..... Hey Josh - how did you manage to switch to the ch 10 commentary?
