TV commentary

Post: # 643138Post BigMart »

Unfortunately due to having some little ones I was unable to get to the game....but did watch it on Channel 10

During the pre-match

we were given zero chance

the focus was on how we were lucky to be there, and we were the worse ever team to make the top 4....

Lane basically said (and continued to) we were fortunate...

Even during the game, Lane in particular stuck the boots in continually, and Quarters aswell.....the praise for the pies was ridiculous.....and the scrutiny on us was a joke...

the telecast was unbalanced and biased to the point that it was difficult to watch....

Has Lane got an Agenda......at least Quarters attempt tp pot Kosi was an obvious agenda........

Blight said it how he saw it.....

And HOW overrated are collingwood??????????

Some negative comments

Will Milne stand up under pressure??
Raph Clarke was Poor last week???....not so sure
Hawthorn are far superior
We have NO match-up for Frankling.....just the best defensive Tall in the AFL
And a lot of bagging in general....

and when we were on top....zero praise, and it was just How unlike collingwood the performance was....

Im not going to let Blight off that lightly.
He was willing the filth to get home in the last...
No praise at all for the Saints and how we dominated the game...
Kept harping on about Malthouse not going man on man in the backline.
And how about some of those free kicks, barely a whimper in protest about how we were copping the raw end...

They're trying to attract viewers from Channel Eddie, it's like the Hun, they put lots of Collingwood stories in, in the hope the circulation will rise.
Bring back Butch Gale and Jack Edwards.

Well, at least, I hope he did...... :wink: :D

noticed Lane saying that St.Kilda were perhaps the worst team ever to finish 4th. What a knob. We won 8 out of our last 10 and had to win by 100 points in our last H&A game to get there. We bloody well deserved it, made our own luck. Stick it up your clacker Lane.

I'm watching the replay now - the commentators sound like they are in the Cwood cheer squad - it makes you sick to listen to them.

As I always say when Tim Lane is mentioned - he's your classic Carlton Lemming.

St Kilda winning defies the laws of physics in Tim's universe.

comments that made me cringe!!!

"St Kilda fell into 4th spot "
"st kilda possibly the worst team to ever finish 4th "
"you have to feel for collingwood being hit hard with injurys"
"st kilda have nothing to combat Buddy" !!!!!

and FFS enough with the Buddy love FFS you would think no one has ever kicked 100 goals before yes he is a great player but FFS was it Hawks TV i was watching ?? i tuned in to see the saints play the pies not a promo for next weeks buddy love in

Did anyone notice after the game how channel 10 chose to put the focus on the filth's change rooms and malthouse giving his post match speech to his players?

If you'd just tuned in, you would have thought the filth had got up.

Don't mean to be a sore winner, but... SUFFER IN YA JOCKS, C*LLINGW**D!!!

Hey I agree but I couldn't care less. We are in a Preliminary Final. One win away from a grand Final. I have only been alive for 1 saints Grand final so if we make i couldn't care if the commentators didn't expect us to get within 100 points.

Stop finding things to winge about, LETS GET EXCITED!!!!!!!!

Dont tell people that it is to logical. Some people think if the commentators favour a side they will score more. Anyway why would a Carlton supporter favour Collingwood.

I thought the commentary was GREAT !!!


especially when it was apparent that we were going to win to listen to the commentators trying to dig themselves out of the hole they had buried themselves in....

I almost felt embarrassed for them.

Surely MB won't get a role as commentator next year with Leigh M available.

MB dribble...."I don't understand why players.....blah blah cr@p" "Tell me why would a player do that.....blah blah cr@p"

Gee, I'm disappointed. There's nothing I would enjoy more than chatting away with the likes of Lane and Walls about the footy in front of a national audience. Such great minds..............

Oh, I get it, you meant Blight!!

To be honest I would rather listen to Blighty than the ramblings of the biased Steve Quartermaine (who I swear just creams his pants when Buddy gets the ball) or Tim Lane.

How bad do you think Quarters will be next week?

Shame Quarters has gone into the "anti St Kilda" brigade - seeing as he used to count Trevor Barker as one of his mates (I can remember him tearing up when Barks passed away)

As for Tim Lane well hmmm................ Tim Lane is the ONLY reason why Samantha Lane is on the TV

But I will give Blighty credit for defending Kosi.

He might cop a fearful bagging on this site but at least he does speak common sense more than the others. Especialy that mutton dressed as lamb Christi "Oh good luck Dad! Thanks darling!" Malthouse.

How she is allowed to even do the boundary riding for Pies games is beyond me!!!!

Steven Q - hopeless
Tim Lane - Best ever (but aging like me)
Mal Content - marble mouth
Luke Darcy - nice legs
Christy Malthouse - lower your voice
Andy Nobody - average
Non countdown clock - morons

On watching the replay, once or twice, who cares?
