He's still upset about getting teased for wetting his bed at school camp. He seems to have such a profound hatred for our club.
He backed Essendon before the game without any justification whatsoever, and was incredibly biased with his call.
Tim, hang up your microphone! The 774am commentary team is MUCH better off without you.

"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."
hird and healy were rooting for them too...but surprisingly taylor always thought we would win eventually...and we should have too....

God some of you are precious...
Did anyone watch the Sydney / Geelong game last night? . The Ch 10 commentators were willing Sydney over the line all night. They were the UNDERDOGS...just like Essendon tonight
The amount of angst shown when a TV commentator doesnt genuflect at us every 2 secs is amazing. Dont like it? Turn the freaking sound down

I get where you're coming from but biased commentating shouldn't be that hard to control. Anthony hudson is a die-hard cats fan and during matches, he is one of the most controlled commentators, thought he did a fantastic unbiased job last night, and the other three were just appalling.saint66au wrote:God some of you are precious...

Having said that, yep, we aren't underdogs anymore so don't expect any media sympathy.

You CAN turn the sound down, but then you open the newspaper and he's still there!
I don't care if people think I'm precious by agreeing that Lane quite clearly has some sort of historical grudge against the Sainters and it's really, really boring to have to endure it. 'Underdogging's' one thing, undermining is another. He falls into the latter category, and IMO it's really obvious and really unprofessional for an apparently highly regarded broadcaster. But stuff him. Prick's got no hair and looks like a nerdy bookkeeper that everyone in the office thinks is creepy. Still reckon his daughter's a bit of a hottie though. Little but rock'n'roll. Loves her footy. I'm into it.

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

I was annoyed with Dwayne Russell's comments during the Melbourne - Freo match.
He stated that Rivers is the only back man to ever win the rising star award...
I am certain that Kosi won that award playing in the back line

Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
I cannot believe people get these things wrong. Maybe if a few were sacked for making a mistake it would send out a message.St Fidelius wrote:I was annoyed with Dwayne Russell's comments during the Melbourne - Freo match.

Well, whilst being annoyed with his comment he should do a little more research before making the comment. Annoyed yes, but that's about it.plugger66 wrote:I cannot believe people get these things wrong.

ex footy greats need to do other games except the teams they played for as there opinions are biased.
If there is gonna be a hird on TV for St kilda Vs Essendon game there needs to be Burkey or another ex or current saints player to keep the commentating unbiased.
Prevoius years malcom blight's special comments were all about teams other than Stkilda reguardless if we were the underdogs because he has pure hatred of the club and is not alone.
Commentators shouldnt barrack there paid to commentate.
