yep, funny thing is that Raz had the ball for quite a while, it wasn’t a get and give - you’d think he’d tell the difference… having said that - try commentating out loud for a sec when watching a game - it is ■■■■■■ hard. being accurate, on-time, varying things enough not to be repetitive, a bit of humor etc etc. really really hard, and the game keeps getting quicker…
Yeah sure its hard, but hes supposed to be a professional caller whose probably getting a paid a truckload of money to do it. if he cant do it well on national television, fark him off and get someone better.
for the record i dont really mind basil as a presenter and a personality. he was good when his was doing the footy news, but he is an absolutely dreadful commentator.
I agree that excuses don’t cut it - it’s his profession.
re: his dreadfulness - he ,makes mistakes but doesn’t annoy or make it about himself which is more than I can say about some others…
Not convincingly no. Has lost a handful of one on ones but would say he’s halved or better most match ups. Did an exceptional job Betts after he took Baguley to the cleaners.
One of my big concerns with McGrath was whether hed be a stagnant ready made player. And yes he was a ready made had to play round 1 IMO. However he had so much scope for improvement and to impact games. Its not going to be like SPP who I think is basically as good as he’s gonna be. Well done Andy hope you continue to prove me wrong.
Love how he handpasses. It’s not old school like Jobe or Goddard, his arm moves more like he’s playing pool and he barely bothers to get the ball perfectly positioned.
