Enough of his man crushes and gayness in general.
Piss of to the Olympics and dont come back

I think Brereton has some great analogies, does come up with too many though.

My leading drop kicks are McGuire, Dwayne Russell who is particularly irritating when he calls the goal square "the paint" mike Sheehan, McAvaney of course, don't mind the Wilson's and I have no idea who this Basil person is. Rarely watch FTA tv so perhaps that's why.

I'm a bit indifferent towards Darcy, don't mind him, but he's not fantastic.

Thought his dad was a great SANFL tv commentator back in his day though.

KG would surely be the worst ever. Cornes and anything 5aa sh1ts me to tears and I suppose Rucci is a bit of a handbrake too

Eddie is pretty good when he is calling footy but apart from that he is annoying.

Paul Roos bias is sickening.

Caroline Wilson talks about everything that is not important. Only in the media because she is a woman.

5AA bias is terrible

I don't listen to radio at all but I've always found KG & Cornes unbearable despite being a Crows supporter myself.

Media person in general? Rucci by a country mile. Seems like a tosser and I've never seen one person use so many words to say so little but I get they have to fill the spaces around the ads with something.

On TV? I don't have Foxtel anymore but I remember how bad Eddie McGuire was calling games on Channel 9 especially Collingwood games or whenever the convo turned to governance of the game. I would've said Bruce McAvaney if a mate hadn't told me he's the same on TV as he is in real life, I had always assumed the 'over-excitable' thing was an act.

Cometti grates too with his routine but as he was voted #1 commentator both TV & radio he's not going to ease up on it anytime soon.

David King at it again last night.
Geelong's most important player: Lonegran. :shock:
GWS's most important player: Phil Davis, not as out there as Lonegran but could think of at least 5 more important.

Agree Gozu, was never a huge fan of Bruce's till saw him the other year at the trots, dressed casually in jeans etc, making his way through the crowd to the finish line for each race with his mates, just like any ordinary Joe, rather than hob-knobbing like someone of his stature could have been.

Oh Jeez I forgot to include Ginever. He really is terrible and loves himself so much that he drinks his own bath water
