Tim Lane & C10

[treespirit]

I've enjoyed the C10 effort this year, but last night I really thought there was a bias showing, especially from Tim. Has been my favourite commentator, but let me down last night.

I'm really starting to like Huddo though. I thought he was the most balanced last night and was outstanding last week as his Cats let him down again. He would have to have been hoping the Swans lost last night.

Channel 10 could have miked up the St Kilda cheer squad and got a more balanced call.

[Guzzitza]

agree totally. the commentators are almost as frustratng as the umpires. i love it how they persisted to laugh about the free kick count - any other team and they would harping on about fairness.. but oh no.. for sydney they have a good chuckle

[plumber dan]

Really getting to like Stephen Silvagni as each week goes by. He really seems to enjoy watching the Swans and is very supportive of their team spirit and the way every player works hard for each other.

[Damien]

Agree on Huddo, think he has done very well, however Lane and Quarterman are the GF commentators this year. Huddo is going to host the pre-game show.

Got a feeling though that if there is any bias to be had this week, it will be for us.

One the Hall "case" is sorted, I am guessing the Melbourne media will happily bring up pre-1982 history and turn us into a Melbourne club again!

I think Walls was happy for Sydney to win, or maybe the Saints to lose.

"they're gone"

Tim Lane and Dwayne Russell should share a house - they are both shocking - Lane is so biased against us - it is crap that in 5 years if I re-watch that game I will have to listen to his drivel.

Hudson and Silvagni are fantastic - unbiased commetators

Would like to see Quarters, Huddo, SOS and Malcolm do the GF.

I *think* Lane will be with ABC radio.

Nah this is incorrect - they were talking about this last week on 3aw when talking to the Channelo 10 boss. Huddo isn't calling the GF - which the 3aw boys couldn't believe as they reckon he is the best TV caller. Damien is spot on.

[NMWBloods]

Tim Lane has become terribly anti-Swans. Never liked us previously but we weren't a threat then!

[Jimmy C]

I'm not a fan of Lane and his commentary at all. I also speculate that privately, he'd be a complete bore.

I think Huddo hates Sydneys guts. Whenever he commentates on Swans games, he does everything but get into bed with the other team.

The Ch 10 coverage last night was biased toward St Kilda IMO.

What are you talking about? I can't think of anything huddo has said to suggest this, in fact i would argue that he enjoys watching the swans play.

I reckon he'd be a tiger in the sack.
