What's up with Kelli Underwood?

[joe444]

Disclaimer: I'm a massive fan of hers. No whinging about nasality, femininity here, etc. At her best, she's an A+ caller in my books.

But what the frick is going on with her calling right now? She's getting almost every fourth player's name wrong. She's getting the basics wrong.

When you watch games synched up with her call, it's embarrassing right now.

 

[treeman]

So as someone as a fan recently you would say she's not as good as she used to be?
I can't say I've followed her career overall.
She certainly does get names wrong and even forgets teams.

Do we rate her more harshly because she's female?

 

[joe444]

Well, of course, we can never go into THAT territory about gender. \

I'm talking as a fan here. I liked her calling when she was FINALLY given a chance in 2008. Her "how sweet is redemption" call was brilliant.

I've rarely seen, though, a caller deteriorate like this.

 

[Del208273]

The deterioration across the Foxfooty commentators can be directly attributed to them calling off TVs and not being at the ground.

At the ground, commentators often use binoculars to follow the play - some have them mounted on a monopod like a race caller.

Taking away the ability of commentators to focus anywhere at any time has stuffed their calls.

 

[joe444]

Yes, I agree. You can tell when they are calling "off the screen".

treeman I get the wariness about gender. What's happening here is (I hope) about eyesight. It was ridiculous on Friday night.

 

[The Made Guy]

Do we really need a second Kelli Underwood thread?

Like 'real' callers you mean?

has been kicking.

 

[wilsonmatic]

I thought the football world got rid of her after her infamous ch10 stint but she's really doubled down in recent years and is everywhere unfortunately. Does a fair few Sydney games which is rather pesky.

 

[Mr Ripper]

 

[hawkman]

She got her red and oranges mixed up

 

[killtaker1993]

Awful doing the Q-Clash today. Yikes

 

[BigVic]

The "Gold Coast Lions"

 

[Tandy]

She has a real off-putting voice

 

[damochandler]

Fox footy knows she is terrible, they’re pretty much throwing her under the bus because they want to look good. It’s exactly what 10 did

 

[Cleavy]

she's a time traveller

 

[Mr Ripper]

 

[HTPunter]

BT has just called Freo “Port” twice in 5 minutes in the Freo v Carlton game but only Underwood gets memes & reaction videos made about her
