Swans DVDs

[Jeffers1984]

The 3AW call was clearly the best out of the 3. Rex is a great commentator. Passes off to Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrpunda!

I liked when Rex said

"what's wrong with the clock you bastards."

What I was thinking exactly!!

Have finally got around to watching the game through with all three commentaries.
The MMM one is woeful, very eaglecentric they seemed only to notice transgressions against Eagle players but failed to notice any free kicks that should/could have gone the Swans way. Newman has all the personality of a wet lettuce and didn't have anything constructive to add. It annoyed me that they saw things that weren't there (e.g. in the third quarter the ball comes into the Eagles' attacking 50 toward Chick, Kennelly jumps to spoil and they reckoned it should have been a free kick to Chick - I was shouting at the tv: "why?"). It also bugged me that in the fourth quarter they were saying things like "you can't expect to win a GF when you don't kick any goals in a quarter, the Eagles have got this" - they conveniently forgot to mention that the Eagles failed to kick any goals in the second quarter. Grr.
Both the 3AW and Channel 10 commentaries are good, both balanced and fair. I enjoyed Rex referring to LRT as the Norm Smith medalist.
Would love to hear the MMM commentary broadcast in Sydney. Perhaps they could do a cd with their commentaries of all the Swans' finals. I'm sure it would sell OK, particularly with Christmas coming up.
As for the game, the more you watch it the more you notice. Still think Monty had a great game and would have been deserving of the NS medal. Noticed more of the things Crouch did, which we didn't notice at the ground. Disappointed with the conversion rate in relation to the number of shots we had or times in 50. There were a number of culprits. MOL had a great game, apart from his kicking for goal, took some fantastic marks and outplayed Chick. Loved the look on Ben Mathew's face in the second quarter when he was chasing Fletcher and the ball popped out of his arms into Ben's - priceless.
The only thing that disappointed me about the game was that three of the Swans players didn't shake the hands of the Auskick kids (who were giving them the medals) and one of them steered/pushed one of the kids out of the way so he could use the microphone - poor form IMO.
Phew - I think that is my longest post ever. Think I'll go and watch the game again.

That's about all of the 3AW commentary that I have heard...it did make me laugh

[Wardy]

Gotta say though that I laughed when JB on the MMM commentary said after Chick did his handstand "thats pretty hard to do when you only have 9 fingers" well it appealed to my wierd sense of humour!

But I reckon the Sydney MMM will be a ripper - (look forward to hearing it one day Luffy!!!)

For sure. I was actually really disappointed when I watched the DVD with the MMM commentary only to find out it wasnt the Sydney MMM team. Very disappointed.

Would be nice to have. Wouldn't fit on an audio CD though (74 min max).

Voice quality MP3 might fit but not sure.

I'd be happy with just the GF.

To all those interested in obtaining a copy of the Triple M call I have spoken to the production guy and he is getting me a copy that I can give to one of you guys and you can make as many copies as you like. Unfortunately I am not on the call as I was in Jakarta at another function cheering the boys on. I will keep you updated when I get it

The Luffster comes through again!!!

[RogueSwan]

It's true.
"We can't get enuff of that wonderful Luff!

[Sanecow]

The purchase price should be a slab for Luffy.

[RogueSwan]

I don't think he would live long enough to get through them all.

[Xie Shan]

If there was ever a drawback of having gone to the grand final (and I did say 'IF' - knowing full well that there wasn't!!! ) it would have been not being able to listen to Triple M Sydney's call in Melbourne. I got used to having the MMM call in one ear at most of the SCG games this year!

I listened to the ABC call on and off on GF day but that went out the window in the last quarter as Section M32 was erupting around me
