And ask him why they bother to drive to Victorian grounds if it's good enough to not have commentators at games in other states

Simple solution - develop commentators in states outside of Victoria. Reduces or eliminates the need for travel, ensures the commentary team is at the ground and gives the audience a variety of voices

Biggest bugbear this year will be that every game will be called from Melbourne whether it is played in Melbourne or elsewhere. Invest in some callers from the other states so we can have some variety in the calls and we can have broadcasters actually at the games

TV

Dimboola and Geelong been cut from Victoria?

Always going to happen when the two matches are actually Fox matches, they're not going to care that you're watching it on 7

"All of a sudden..."

It's up there with 'Nate' Fyfe. He'd never been called Nate in his life until footy commentators started it. Not sure about 'Nate' Jones?

Great idea, can't believe it wasn't done earlier

I don't have the stats but I'd be stunned if the fta ratings in Perth would ever verge on woeful, especially considering the Eagles have been so successful this year. Adelaide might be down a bit with the poor year for the Crows and Power but they'll be up again soon. As for TV ratings in...

You did miss him saying that cramp might be the reason Dean Cox left the field 5 mins into the match! Even his co-commentators took the piss out of him then

Re: Bruce McAvaney on Graham Johncock I reckon it's Bruce's genuine naivety, almost Jakovich like... Did laugh very loudly when I heard it

Yep, we need to change it to 'Quality Jako Quotes' or something similar. Just think, 5 fox games a year from 2012, more opportunity for Jako Gold...

Yes and yes

"Dustin Fletcher has been activated out of the game" Hmmm...

"Well it's atmospheric-like down here..." Haven't even had the opening bounce yet...

Spot on. Just watched the Hawks/Freo game and there were a number of shots for goals from angles when they used the behind the goal shot at the city end and you couldn't tell if it was a goal or not. Often the shot followed the flight of the ball and you couldn't see of the goal umpire was...

He's used it for a while. Not good

I'm with you

Hopefully they'll still use him in the pre-match stuff to give us more opportunity to add to this thread!

Come on people, help the man out! (I wanna know too...!)

Re: Ch 7 absolutely shit I was happy with the way he reacted but considering it was the same reaction most players have at the end of every other game we've seen on tv all season I was hoping to see some excitement at siren time and I'm sure that's what the director was expecting

Re: Ch 7 absolutely shit Director made the wrong call going to a shot of Luke Ball at the final siren. Obviously hoped to catch him giving the bird to Saints players or fans - too classy a bloke to do that sort of stuff

Only 2 weeks of Jako left for 2010 - lets hope he finishes the season in style!

I have no problem with the FTA stations showing the local AFL teams. When Fox first broadcast AFL, in conjunction with 9 and 10 the deal was that Fox could show the alternate match, i.e. this week they would show Pies v Cats while FTA showed Eagles v Lions. So important that the next deal...

Just read somewhere that next Saturday night there's no coverage of the top of the table Pies v Cats but instead we get the absolute privilege of watching the wooden spoon title fight on two channels simultaneously. I would imagine its the same story on our radio stations. How lucky are we???

How was his bout of depression when Pavlich kicked that goal from outside 50? BT and Healy were going off, raving about Pav's brilliance and all Jako could do was moan about the Eagles not manning the mark well enough

He just asked a question of Colby on the boundary, only for Rohan Smith to remind him that Colby was in Melbourne and Smithy was the boundary rider this week. Understandable mistake, I mean it was only half way through the last quarter...

I reckon Harley is very good and as unbiased as any former club captain one year out of the game can possibly be. Doing a great job

Without finishing any of the first 3! Would love to read a full transcript of his day's work
