Not sure what your problem is with her but she's 100x more tolerable and informative than Brian Taylor will ever be. The fact she's joined Geelong's coaching ranks might just mean she knows a thing or two about football.

Not sure why anyone would watch either and the Channel 7 broadcast


Unavoidable for Thurs/Fri night games as it's a Seven broadcast, what you hear on Fox will be the same.
FWIW I can handle both of them, no issues here. Not sure if he's still employed but Dermie shits me as a commentator.

Because every female appointment is thoroughly deserved and no chance of tokenism. She says 100 comments a game and yes some are on the mark but its just the constant voice and the tone of her voice that does my head in

Not really, that was their game to win, played on their terms. We didn't get 1 wood out all night. We were lucky to stay in the game to be honest, so taking a draw is good, even though we were up with a minute to go.

But if Acres had taken that mark.....

Nah we would have lost that game last year in the last 4 rounds so I’m taking it as a positive!

Kelly Underwood Channel 10 days, I'll accept tokenism. Daisy Pearce today is not tokenism, IMO.

So it's how she speaks, not what she speaks?

Say what now, reckon you meant to quote Booney. WRT her voice, could be worse, Kelly Underwood could still be calling or heaven forbid Judith Lucy

I streamed SEN with the tv volume down, it was only a second or so out. Derm was special comments with Gerard Whateley & Matt Hill calling
(who are both excellent).

That's like watching a foreign language movie with dubbed over english, a second or two out is all it takes ;)

Wasn't any better / Wasn't any worse. They didn't decide the game in any way.

Also if big Harry could finish off you would have been home and hose.

I actually felt last night your forward line was dangerous. McKay and Curnow down there looked dangerous when the ball was coming in. Then with Silvangi resting in the forward line you really were stretching Richmond.

The problem was it just wasn't coming in as much ad Richmond had it in there's. It definitely felt like you were beaten in the midfield.

Its both, if you're going to say 100 things you'll get a couple that make sense. Whenever they want an insight they ask Hodge, whenever its something obvious that any one off the street can see, thats when they ask Daisy. Honestly most of the commentators make it about themselves anyway

Players slipped over all night. The Ed Sheeran consequence.

Same may happen in Adelaide as the turf comes from the same place.
