I noticed Tim's co-commentators corrected him several times.

Malcolm Blight would have actualy gone on to be a very good coach of the Sainters, except the club did not have the stomach for his excentric ways.
Malcolm would be an excellect coach for the Swans, but once again, I doubt that they would be prepared to go blindly down that path, they do not have enough courage or faith.
But I will tell you this. Should Malcolm Blight ever coach the Swans- you will see a lot more exciting footy in Sydney, than has been played by this club in a very long time.

Correct comments, and also said when we play a more direct game we look good.
Blight's criticisms/praise in his commentary always have a sound basis to them in that he gives reasons rather than spouting off.
He is pleasant to listen to. and says things that coaches would see and the average person wouldn't.
Far better than Captain Obvious Robert Walls.
I reckon the best team of callers would be Commetti and maybe Anthony Hudson (who gets so enthusiastic about the game, even if his face looks like a mintie that has been trodden on
). With Dermott doing special comments.
Still listening to Eddie when the Pies miss two changes to win a game and loss by 5 points is completely classic. Hearing his silence afterwood is just unreal!

Apart from a rejected coach are there any other Saints cast-offs you'd like to give us St Footyhead?Comment

Some people just hate everything that is not the Swans - commentators aren't nice enough to us, umpires crucify us, AFL has something against us... the paranoia is fairly rampant.Originally posted by Ert

That's what I mean - tres droll. Agree he makes decent quip, but there is something about his tone and tenor that sends me to sleep. I guess he's not too bad. Better than many of the alternatives dished up by nine. I remember they had some ex-west coast bloke commentating a west coast game a few years back (was it Peter Wilson?) and the level of general bias was astounding. It was as if there was only one team on the ground. Typically channel nine.Originally posted by Ert

Gossage is a prize pratt, where do they get those wackers on Fox?Originally posted by dendol
I like Lane's commentary, and Commeti is pretty damn good too. Tim Gossage, anyone?
IMO Cometti is good fun, Dwayne Russell OK and at least Tim Lane's summing up after Saturday night was very fair.
The rest of them Quarters, Dermie, Huddo, Eddie you can stick them....Sports do not build character. They reveal it....Heywood Broun

If Malcolm Blight has got over the St Kilda fiasco, I'd take him as coach in a second.
Roos' contract is up at the end of the year, isn't it? MmmmComment

Ahem, putting on my teacher's hat for a moment LAK,Originally posted by Legs Akimbo
Everyone seems to rave about Dennis Confetti, but I find him droll and lacking in real insight.
Droll means dryly amusing...which is exactly what Dennis is at his best.
You seem to have assumed it means boring (like dross).
Comes from the French for funny (droll).
Sometimes, though, calling a COMMENT "very droll' can be meant as deliberately fraint praise.
