Channel 7 Coverage

[kalsaint]

They keep getting worse. Apart from Dennis Commetti they would be completely lost.

Honestly the number of time the camera followed Hawthorn players for long periods on the bench when the game was on is just plain ridiculous.

It eh worst coverage of all networks by a large margin.

Shocking coverage, they spent about 45-60 seconds following Ross Lyon, Alistair Clarkson, back to Ross Lyon, the interchange benches, the crowd, back to Ross Lyon... all while the game is in progress.

And on delay here in WA there was enough time in the ad breaks between goals for me to flick over to Fox Sports and watch a couple of deliveries in the cricket.

I didn't think it was too bad I got to see my daughters close up after a Saints goal in the third qtr one of Schneiders with about 6 mins left (if anyone watches the replay) They were there with their mother and grandmother whilst I am away working in the NT so in the end I enjoyed the coverage as I saw my family on TV and the saints nearly pulled off an improbable win.

yep, they're shithouse at just displaying the ball. i don't need to see a doctor with his finger up dal's nose, let's just see what's happening on the field.

Terrible what more can you say

Nobody has mentioned the commentary yet. I thought the commentators had only bothered to learn the Hawthorn players names at one stage.

channel 7 has to have a private booth for bruce when they televise hawthorn games , cos all those delicious thoughts of cyril and buddy get him in a lather. once the sexual pheromones permeate the commentary booth the rest of the boys get horny as hell , thats why harley and his nude nut has been such a popular inculsion this year !

[iwantmeseats]

its deplorable. Didnt see it last night as I was at the game. But its far too much of the boys club mentality full of in jokes and general chit chat about non game related bulls***.

Did someone say above it was bad except for Commetti?

He is the worst of the lot! The old fart cant help himself, constantly dribbling crap and trying and failing to be funny, which isnt actually his f****** job! Thinks its ALL about him, a complete dipshit. I cant wait till we get back to 9, or anyone else.[/list]

Probably the worst coverage I've seen. Can't count how many times they missed the play. All of a sudden someones running out with the ball from a ruck contest of someones been paid a free kick when we have no idea what it was for. Who gives a crap what Buddy's doing on the bench. There are 43 other guys playing the game too. Amateur stuff really.

they were actually barracking for the hawks....and bruce was just sick making...reckoned that the dorks were putting us to the sword ffs......idiot.....

Having finally watched the replay it was all about Buddy.

Which for the rest of the Hawthorn side must be pretty galling thinking their side begins and ends with him.

Shots of Dal's nose being fixed each and everytime were overdone.

But the shot showing Campbell Brown throwing his elbow was shown only once. Let's hope the MRP views it more than once.

Re the umpiring, the sounds of surprise and bewilderment coming from Dennis Commetti said it all.
