What did everyone think about the Female commentator for yesterdays game. Nothing against her but it didnt sound too good to me. I think the fact that she sounds alot like CARO doesnt help her

The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point... -
Kelli Underwood is her name.
Here's the article.
Caller passes first test
CHANNEL Ten has described Kelli Underwood's debut as a football commentator a success, but would give no guarantee that Australian football's first female caller would return to the box any time soon.
The network's head of sport, David Barham, said that while he was happy with Underwood's performance during the commentary of Geelong's victory over Adelaide on Saturday, he had no plans to have her calling any more NAB Cup games.
Nor did he have any firm plans to have her on board during the season proper.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light. -
From the limited time I watched the game - thought she was ok.
Tended to give full commentary like radio - rather than quickly summarising the action.
I would like her to get a few more games to hone the skill.spriteComment

Didn't like her at all. She sounded like a robot. Knew her stuff but showed no emotion in her delivery.Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.

A really good first up effort which she will naturally improve on.
A great development for the AFL."As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.Comment

An excellent first up effort. She did sound a bit like a radio commentator, but just the fact that she'd done her homework and knew all the players by sight put her well ahead of most of the male commentators (particularly the former players) on TV. And she didn't seem to feel compelled to fill the gaps with boring bulldust like "THE OX!!" or "Lynchy". And she didn't indulge in childish umpire-bashing. And she didn't pretend to know the rules. In fact, the more I think about it, the better she sounds!
Hard to believe that Channel Ten has finally come up with a good idea.Comment

Yes. I prefer the drivel of the aforementioned Messrs McAveney & Commetti. No one does it like them two!!
I suppose it's good for the game, but Ch10 aren't "really" going to go ahead with a female commentator once the season proper starts.
She'll be sent down to the boundary with whats her name maltmouth.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
