Rd 2 Melb TV coverage

[CureTheSane]

Got a bit sick of the general discuassiona nd irrelevant facts - especially in the last few ,imutes of the game.
Kind of indicated to me that they'd been commentating a bit too long and really didn't care to contribute to building the drama as they once did.
Never been a big fan of Dennis, but always thought Bruce was great until today.
Just sounds like he wants to bed Dennis now.

Anyway, it was great to watch another game pof footy with the kids - they enjoyed this rare occurrence immensely

Dammit stop pulling out so far from the ball at a ball up! I want to see the contest and blocking and the ruckwork duel! Stop cutting to stupid crap I don't care about (coaches, random players, sideways field shots for just long enough to know what you are looking at before they flick back again)! Also exploiting the delayed telecast with at least double the ad's between goals that they can get away with compared to live. Dennis and Bruce are irrelvent, self indulgent, repetitive nongs, only Harley has something worth contributing.

They also zoomed in far too close at times, and missed the action.

On the 3pm replay. They went to an Ad break at 3:04PM
They showed 3-4 ads between each goal.
The commentary was very biased towards Essendon.

Why do we need to sit through a half time break?
It's a replay for @@@@s sake. Just get on with the game.
Mega Wall = Mega Wank. Each year they come out with some mindblowing concept that is just a waste of space.

The game finishes, we get to hear half the song, No interviews, and the straight into the Ch7 news, which is whn I reach for the remote, and press the number 9!!

Im not a fan of 7 at all, their delayed starts to Friday night games at 8.30 is poor (especially when the game is over by the time it is half time on the TV) and I cant stand Bruce as a commentator.....why wouldnt this game be live into melb??? Hopefully they lose the rights.

The shadow on the ground in the first half made TV watching yesterday very tough, and it was compounded by the fact that they showed those stupid aerial shots from a distance. There were times when the players looked like ants and you had no idea what was going on.

Glad you said that. Thought it was just my wonky eyes.

BUT, at least it was on FTA!!
