Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 11 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide
Commentating - honestly, does the league nor TV stations not care one iota about professionalism? The amount of talent chomping at the bit to be footy commentators and we are left with a parochial Adelaidean and the recent ex coach of our opposition. I heard more about Butters being half back than I did about the entirety of our team and performance.

This is not just bias, it is unprofessional.  Sick
Of these old guys commentating games when there is young talent wanting to do it but get no look in.

The best commentators around today, and yesteryear, and even going bac to the black and white days.....were from NON-footballing commentators.
Yet, currently, there is the least amount of non-football commentators as ever, despite having more commentators than ever.

For mine, Huddo, Howie, Whately and even Brayshaw are among the best current commentators.
Previously, Bruce and Commetti were unparalleled.

Why do we go away from that?

As Napoleon said, 'Never interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake!"

Very apt tonight.

Port are have been their own worst enemy i reckon.

There has been some flashes of brillianace from them. Streaking through the midfield, linking up with forward handballs, after forward handballs, delivering the last handball ready for the shot on goal from 30......fumbled, turnover.

Similar to us most weeks (and indeed the 2nd half tonight as well). Thankfully our kicking boots were very much on in the 1st half and kept us in front.

Geez we were lucky to survive the last minutes.
Gov taking a goal saving mark on the line.
Makes up for him ducking his head in the 2nd. Oh wait. That's not confirmed yet.

lol.....having a bad day Rocky?

Reason i made that comment was at the time i was going to say the same exact thing you did at the same time....yet apparantly we were looking at different incidents.

Don't lose sleep on it.
