Gotta agree.

I turned it off after 15 minutes as I couldn't stand listening to that guy's voice as well as watch the numerous 50 metres given away for nothing.
I knew there was no chance with those ridiculous umpiring decisions.

That guy's voice depresses me.... maybe due to previous carlton form with him as a commentator? no.. i think it is because he is so dull as i don't mind other commentators. he only commentates WA games i think.

I wish every Fox Footy game was "Active" so I could listen to just the crowd and/or umps.

We were smashing the red button midway through the first in bitter disappointment.

The biggest annoyance for me was the fact that you could tell the commentators were borderline orgasmic once the Dockers broke away to an early lead.

I'm just glad Carlton clawed their way back into the game, which in the process stopped the commentators from gushing like a busted pipe.

Regarding the Murphy incident, I've seen/heard absolutely nothing about it at all. What was the story there?

A #1 draftee gets decked miles off the ball behind play and has to leave the field, and nobody in the media knows anything?!?

The Age made mention of both key incidents in the paper.

Scarlett under scrutiny.

And he got off because there was no vision. You'd think they'd at least launch an investigation.

Sometimes I just turn the radio on...that way if you get up and wqalk around you hear a commentary that you understand instead of "ooh...what a play"...what the f happened?...

But then again you probably hear 6pr when it's coming from Perth so the bias is still there.

Exactly, that was my nan's first reaction and I said, don't bother, 774 feed would be from 6PR and we just sighed.
