Flame away but I have to say I quite liked the Kelli Underwood call of Jetta's goal when I saw it on replay. Very close to what I was screaming from the Red Zone. I haven't taken to her running calls fully as yet, but I will defend the lass and think she's doing OK. My foe in the gender wars do make up over 40 per cent of footy fans (according to the AFL), so I wouldn't dismiss their right to contribute from behind a microphone. It will take us some time to get used to the genetic difference in vocal chords but hey, we did let them vote and it has all been a can of worms since then.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

I don't have a great problem with her. Her voice is a bit flat, but she manages to construct coherent sentences which puts her ahead of most of the others in the box.
Personally I find her enthusiasm and near-reverence for the game a refreshing change from the jaded ex-players and rusted-on commentators. She sounds more like one of us - a keen fan - than an expert.
I read BT (admittedly not an unbiaised observer) saying she probably should have spent more time doing less high-profile radio and other work before being drafted to the big league. So she lacks of confidence, hence tries a bit hard.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Is her voice any worse than Tony Shaw's or Alistair Lynch's? Or for that matter our prime minister's?
Not the worst going around and happy to see the gender gap addressed.
On the same point, hopefully we'll see some of these charismatic media-friendly young indigenous kids get their chance in the media soon.Comment

Least she doesn't bring her team bias to the table like other commentators as well. Think she'll improve the more calls she makes.Comment

I have said elsewhere that it is really good that 10 is allowing the PM to call the football. Can't stand listening to either of them, nothing to do with them being women, I am quite partial to women (well, my wife anyway) it's the nasal twang that I find very hard to listen to.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Did anyone catch the different calls of the dying seconds of the Eagles-Lions game on AFL Insider last night? Hysterical! Home town bias is alive and well whatever radio station you listen to.Comment
