    Kelly Underwood

    Why oh why do we have to listen to this uninformed drivel. I don't mind the idea of females commentating BUT they should at least have some idea of what they are talking about.Channel 10 GET RID OF HER NOW

    The two most dullest talkers in the business, Kelli Underpants, and Harry Highpants.
    Why are we so lucky?

      With Matthew (watch my arching back) lloyd "expert " comments - between then they incorrectly or just did not know players names on 10 + occassions.
      Not a great performance by them - made watching even tougher -
      Constantly argument with self over who to yell at
      1) Umpires - Who want to appear "in control and on tv"
      2)Commentators with no ability to analyse or even recognize players.
      3) Swans turnovers or loss of momentum from the centre stoppages

      Very frustrating day

          A lot of blokes only watch the footy so they don't have to listen to a woman not me of course!

            Best part was when they started talking about Lloydy as a sailor (keeping the Jessica Watson flavour of the day going presumably). If she knew anything, she'd know diving was more his go ...

                Our heckles rose at that too ...

                Hope they're paying peanuts for that broadcast team, it sure is obvious what we're getting ..

                And another thing ... Lloydy seems to take delight in having a sledge at players - one comment was about Pykey - "you get absolutely nothing from him around the ground". Whoa hey ... might be true (and I'm not yet convinced), but potshots like that are pretty lousy. Seems to be spreading a bit through the 10 commentary teams tho - Blight goes over the top, and Walls - well - he makes Darth Vader look like the galaxy's supreme optimist ...

                It's so easy to sit back and snipe. The amazing thing is that the AFL sweetness and light 'paper over the cracks' brigade led by Adrian Anderson haven't been getting stuck into them for trashing the brand!

                  I'm glad we can all agree on this at least.

                  Underwood = Dud commentator with possibly THE most irritating voice on television. It's not that she's a Woman, it's that she's NO BLOODY GOOD!

                  And Loyd = Worse special comments guy ever!

                  Nice work ten.

                  Dont get me started on Channel 7! Goal is scored , 1 ad, 2 ads, 3 ads, 4 ads, 5 ads, what am i watching again ?

                  IMO FoxSports is the only bearable broadcaster.

                    And she is always 5 seconds behind the play.

                        No more Kellie on the AFL telly. If only she could take Lloyd and Walls with her.

                        On the positive, more footy shows this year.
                        In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.

                          I'm all for the sisterhood and all that BUT her voice was TERRIBLE!!!!!!

                          And yes Bas, all we need now is for Lloyd and Walls to go the same way and footy will be somewhere close to bearable to watch.

                            One of the more informed commentators. Just a pity she was so annoying. Right decision to sack her. C10 has probably put the cause of women in AFL commentary back another 20 years by giving her a chance in the first place. Prime example of trying to be PC that backfired badly. Serves 'em right really.
