I knew i should have gone to the game - channel seven coverage of game , particularly the post game coverage was lamentable to put it mildly - we had to endure their carlton- hating commentators - but got used to them - especially when we came back - bur what happened to live player/ coach interviews / team song ?
The channel seven promotion of their finals coverage suggests that it will be good - ripped off !!!!
Agree definitely ripped off!
I thought BV was willing us to get back in it
I m convinced he has an indigenous hard on
I couldn't care less. Loved watching it.
Yeah coverage of the post game was particularly poor and the 1st half was very Richmond focussed and I suppose with the gap between playing finals that's where the story was.
You get a feeling that Richmond could become the bridesmaids of this era, all emotion and passion and then kiss me Kaput.
Thanks to the fox commentators, I rarely noticed them.

Yep if you can free up some coin you really have to have fox footy.

Did you notice that on fox the commentators after the match were all about "Poor Tigers", they should have won this one. Carlton shouldn't have even been there. Mark Maclure was the only one flying the flag for our club. Stating we won because we were the better side on the day. The Tigers midfield being a little overated and lost the game for Richmond because they just ran out of legs.
Gerard said it was "preposterous" that we are into a semi final!!! WTF?
Some of you may have noticed Ch.7 people wearing red and black ties or pins.
The whole coverage was pro-Nthmond, because they are mostly anti-Carlton, but are you really surprised???

They can eat crap smeared hairy balls!
They've been consistently s@#t all season, and today was just another day at the office. I've kept the volume low all season. Dead set disgrace.

Let 'em suck it up!
Hang on I forget something. Fox sports today and David King. "Dustin Martin" is the key to Richmond beating Carlton today. He is evasive and a quality player. an elite finisher and Carlton won't have a match for him today. he will win this game off his own boot. "Martin this and Martin that". "Martin, Martin, Martin". Don't even get me started on Cotchin. King, you got it WRONG. They lost. Martin did something but not near enough to win it today. Dermie thought we were a chance even though he thought we would lose. He said never say never. he has watched us come back. Him and Maclure were fair about their analysis. The others were all knobs. Especially Roos. He gave us no chance in each quarter. he still can't believe how we managed to win it. No anti-Blues bias at all the commentators.
How about using guys who say it as it is and being non-biased.

You know I listened to the Triple M pre show thing just before bounce down and the one person who was balanced and actually thought about the game on its merits was Jason Dunstall. I have to say it's not the first time I have noticed it from Dunstall. Don't get me wrong he's Hawks through and through but he does give a balanced opinion I think overall.

I'd have to agree, although his voice is horrible.

I wasn't at all surprised but i loved it!
I'll take the hatred any day over being laughed at and mocked as we have been for years, the more successful we are the more people will hate us and any respect they give us will be begrudging respect.........ah, just like the good old days lol
I actually really enjoyed Nick Reiwoldt's special comments, very balanced, no bias, he's a natural for sure.

Yes, this. I still haven't seen the team song. Utter embarrassment by C7.
@Previous posters
Agree re. Riewoldt and Dunstall - two of the few commentators who are worth listening to. Both are fair and give good insights.
Most of the commentator's statements are limited!
But Broadcasters from football to election talk a lot of what we call krap!
We have to sift and sort what is worthwhile.
Whereas you guys her, are blessed with insights that don't come from prejudice, but good blue-blooded common sense.
Keep effusing your wisdom!

I reckon King will still be saying that we should trade Gibbs!! Once he gets on a topic, he will never admit he was wrong.
Roos has always hated us, I reckon we promised him a job, before he took the Sydney one, and backed out. He is just so anti-Carlton it is not funny
All i can say that at least Brian Taylor's ugly head wasn't around. Can't stand him!!

Let alone not missing the "Wow wee" every 2 minutes or comparing every fcuk up with something that Richo would have done

And his ridiculus illustrations/comparisons. He tries to be funny, but he's just stupid. And once he says something he doesn't let it go! Gee it irks me. I cringe every time i see that Hungry Caterpillar on his upper lip.

Did someone say Big Boy McEvoy ?
Yep - BT did about 50 times in 1 game. Horrible. And in the after match wrap up, whenever Sam Lane is talking, you always see him twitchy and agitated, like he just can't wait to piss her off. Comes across as a sexist pig.

Here he is! Hehe!
Gold Cookie! ;D
Taylor normally does Saturday nights so boy oh boy we'll have to put up with him this week.

Him and Richo were in the MMM booth, from about 3/4 time onwards they could barely be heard over the noisy crickets!

OH BOY! Another one straight out of the Calder Cannons Football Factory!

Just one more reason to go to the game really...
One commentator yesterday said the atmosphere was more like a Grand Final and someone else said the Port/Pies Eliminiation final was more like a Qualifying final ???
I'll take anyone over Brian Taylor... Can't believe I am going to say... I'd even rather Eddie Maguire than BT.
