You know what’s embarrassing, this post. A lot of garbage gets thrown about in this forum, but this about takes cake !! What a pathetic load of dribble.

This has made my year.

Alistair ABC Nicholson for mine, but Huddo one of the best TV guys for sure.

Goodbye to a legend.

Sorry Bruce?

I really enjoyed the commentary on the Carlton Essendon practice game, actually talked about players, was all low key, surely the spectacle speaks for it’s self, do we need raving lunatics announcing every second like it’s important

Some of his best work here.

Robbo was always one of my favourites

100% agree.

“You can argue forever about who is the best team of all time, but as Jason said earlier, this is the best season we’ve ever seen.”

As cringe-worthy as his commentary became in his later years, he always the enthusiasm of a 10 year old boy for the game and its players. I’ll always respect that about him.

Here’s wishing he’s in good health.

McAvaney was electric throughout the 90s. He expertly called a heap of classic Bomber moments during that period. Consequently, I’ll always be grateful.

His call of the Moorcroft mark was dynamite!

westozziebomber · February 28, 2021, 9:36am

I’ll buck the trend amd happily admit I reckon he was a fantastic caller right till the end, he said the odd thing now and then but I reckon its become a bit of a exaggeration how “terrible” he was.

ill miss his calling. all the best bruuuce

I like Bruce. His knowledge and passion for sport was at the highest level.

But I get why he grates on people as there are times where he goes for too much.

In the end he became a caricature of himself. He overdid the thing that was special about him to the point where it felt like it was being forced. I think he just wanted to entertain the viewer.

“WHAT A MARK!”

He doesn’t miss much - called Lucas’ right foot kick being on his wrong side.
