When I go to the footy, I usually listen to 3AW
Last nights commentary was woeful
After listening to David King slag Richmond for the first half, I now know why he isnt employed as a coach anymore.
Anyone at the ground would of known that we were in with a chance at half time and were hanging in there well, considering the amount of times Carlton had the ball, and how close we were on the scoreboard.
Couldnt beleive that Richo actually agreed with David King as well. :help :help :help ::)
All King said was utter garbage.
BT not much better either
At half time I switched over to the ABC
What a difference.
Matty Knights comments were spot on.
Amazing actually.
No garbage, just facts and reality was that the Tigers kicked the next 6 goals
-
It always amazes me that guys like Wallace and King who had deplorable coaching records, get put on as 'experts' on TV and radio.
If they were such experts, why aren't they still coaching.
I think there were a few nervous commentators on ONEHD during the third quarter, they all went a little quiet.
-
Listening to matty knights was much better than listening to BT, King and Richo.
Richo agreed with King in the first half.
Knights was calculated and spoke about what would Dimma be doing at the half time break in regards to re structuring etc
All King said was to say how bad we were and a big blow out was about to happen
Anyone at the ground knew we would get back in the game as the law of averages say that they were getting alot of the ball,, and Carlton had overused the ball for little result.
-
Listen to SEN. EVERYTHING Malthouse said was spot on. His analysis is the best I've ever heard ever.
-
Took the Christmas present to the footy for the first time.
An iRiver digital radio (half the size if an iPhone) with brilliant reception.
Only problem was that it was a good 3-4 seconds in delay.
It really highlighted how often the commentators get it wrong.

I heard that he was super impressed with Conca?

Yep, same as the Iphone app eg SEN1116 app is on a 7 sec delay

and that's why he is a premiership coach and king is a washed up assistant. ;)
Couldn't believe the great man Richos take on the game either, spoke about negatives getting flogged etc, should of been saying if Richmond make an adjustment here and there, they are back in the game.
Both he and King said bluntly the game would be a blow and stated the obvious
Most that went to the game new the tigers were half a chance at half time, due to Waite being sub off, and Carlton having plenty of use for just a small lead
-
one hd commentary was like a carlton love in. Quarterbrain was leading the charge with his emotional enthusiasm when Carlton was on top, and his tempered and measured commentary when we were playing well.
Lloyd was sucked in and started pandering all the special comments their way, but in his defence, he siad some good things about us later in the game.
-
Yeah the OneHD commentary was very biased and sickening to listen to
-
I am so turned off MMM because off the love fest of Lyon Brayshaw and stupidity of Spud.
Am so turned off by BT who thinks he knows it all.
Yep SEN and 3LO for me. Most unbiased call. They actually call the footy as it is, not the sideshow the others make it out to be thinking their call and antics is more important than the game itself.
Matt Granlan is a great caller. :thumbsup

Lloyd also said that Graham was the best big man on the ground and he was very impressed with him. I have no idea what game he was watching though as it couldnt be the one I was. Lloyd is bad but not Tim Watson bad. YET

Timmy is a nice boy and all the old ladies love him. :thumbsup

I agree regarding MMM - it's a rediculous love fest where they sepnd mos of the call patting themselves on the back and claiming they are the No 1 at this that and everything else. The way their stick their tongues up every players behind that they drag on to the radio with them to talk is downright embarrassing :chuck
SEN is my choice for the trip home if I can get the reception that is ::)
-
With so many new faces it going to take time for Richmond to gel as a unit.
I predict it wont be long before these media maggots start pushing and shoving each other out of the way in order to jump on the tiger bandwagon.

Matty Lloyd was drooling over Judd all night. embarrassing really, for a "professional" commentator.

Wasnt the only one, the 4 bozos controlling the match were disgraceful. Fair dinkum its gotten to the stage where these muppets will start ordering flowers from Inter Flora for their idol. Its stuffen sickening. You cant touch the prick without him getting a free kick. I swear they're almost at the stage where any opposition player just looking at Judd will be pinged for some non existant offence. Its just disgraceful.

i actually thought the umpiring was good

I'm told he's a fan of clam chowder

Bool!

Yep I had no problem with the umps last night. It must have been the first time in history Judd was actually pinged for holding the ball doing a 360. I almost split my drink in shock. The umps have always turned a blind eye when Judd does that whereas everyone else is instantly pinged. About bloody time too! The only free that really peeed me off last night was either Edwards or Batchelor I think face down with Betts sitting on their back but no free given and then we got pinged for holding the ball when Betts dragged the ball back in.

umpiring was pretty good, in fairness to them. at least this time around i didn't get on TV going off my nut at them, so they must have improved at least a bit!

Agree Jack but Ramps is also dead right. Any wonder Judd won last years Brownlow when not one member of the wider AFL community gave him a chance. He must have photos of an umpiring fraternity group love-in.
-
He got a free for holding at several contests - umpires look out for him too much.
-
Fair enought to a degree they pay a little extra attention to the better layers in the comp.
But seriously Judd is ubber protected.
I was in the MCC behind the bench and when Jacko came on to go to Judd, an umpy not involved in the play 50 metres away only had eyes for Jacko going to Judd, he seriously had the whistle ready as soon as Jacko made contact. Was just a bump and hello I'm here FFS way over the top wish we got one's like that :banghead
Apart from that and the holding the ball mentioned I must admitt they weren't that bad for once. :gobdrop

I bought myself one of the radios that allow you to to listen to the umps during the game. A very interesting experience indeed!
They are constantly alerting each other to players who are getting in each others faces, so to speak. Judds name came up a lot. a number of times after hearing " Judd and such and such" Judd recieved a free kick.
Martin's name also was heard a bit, but not once did he get a free though.
Is this a bias or are our players just not discreet enough? Probbably a little bit of both to me.
The thing i found unusual was that the umps would alert each other to who was playing on who. This happened all during the St kilda Geelong game as well ( What a spectacle that game was :nope).
These radios give you a good insight into why the umps' decision making.
