Dwayne ' shit commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

[Mibie]

It's probably already been said but when he says 'puts it to grass' if someone drops a mark it makes me want to reach into the tv and rip his throat out.

 

[Partridge]

Which was even funnier considering Tex dropped a couple of sitters.

And then he went on and on about it was most unlike him. Except that he's nearly 35 years old and that's what veterans who are just about cooked do - make lots of mistakes.

Utter ass clown.

 

[Partridge]

Dwayne Russell is the worst commentator in sport. He must have a picture of a senior executive at Fox having fun with a sheep or a horse to still have a job.

Nah it's worse. The networks and the AFL genuinely think the commentators are more important than the players.

 

[Nepotism]

Nah it's worse. The networks and the AFL genuinely think the commentators are more important than the players.

Very true. The game is just an excuse for the commentators to attack whomever isn't playing well.

The AFL want the drama and want the commentators who slag off players and teams the most.

Seeing Tyrell Dewar have a good game yesterday reminded me of Dwayne calling him Dua Lipa last season.

& He's still on that Bullshit!
Two players jumped for the ball on the weekend and he called them...
Duo Leapers

Feel sorry for anyone who has to sit next to him after he’s drank a litre of milk and a family block of chocolate

Yeah that's by quarter time too. Then the 2 litres of Pepsi Max probably comes into play. campaigner will drop dead from diabetes on air one day

Prefer something that would destroy his throat so he couldn't speak.

 

[tugga]

Two “phenomenals” already and it’s 13 minutes in.
**** I hate him.

 

[10Dulkar]

Just waiting for the Dewar Lipa reference

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Missed the umps calling touched because he was too busy yelling before.

 

[Cleavy]

at least he is calling this game and not the Port game...

 

[Marstermind]

His commentary today was dreadful

First, they are called the GWS Giants, not the Orange Tsunami. He must has used that 50 times today.

Second, I get that he has to try keep the game interesting, but don't treat the audience as idiots. From about 20mins into the first quarter the Eagles had no chance of winning and every chance of losing by as much as they did. So when they finally kick a goal to go from 9 goals down to 8, don't speak of gaining belief, or getting another to build momentum, or winning a quarter, or controlling the last 5 mins or building something for next week. They were cooked, everyone knew it and no one was convinced otherwise because you said so.

Read this Dwayne. I ****ing beg you to read this and take the bloody tip.

 

[Shuestar13]

Horrific. Watching your team get thrashed and having to endure his “commentary”. I do get the sense he takes being scheduled for these (expected) one-sided borefests personally and like a spoilt child, lashes out. I may have been misreading things, but there was a level of sarcasm and contempt in today’s effort. I get it, it’s no fun, but at least try to be professional Dwayne

 

[Hoos]

I get it, it’s no fun, but at least try to be professional Dwayne

Jesus. If he did, it would be the first time he's tried it.

 

[muttley45]

One plus for Dwayne, he only ever does one on one interviews with Stars or Superstars

His SEN program is woeful. The run down is awful.

Start with a "provocative" question - usually at the extremes of boringly mundane and unimaginative (Which teams do you think can make the 8? Which were the best/worst 5 teams on the weekend) to bizarrely specific and irrelevant (Who are the 7 most underrated left footers this season who have yet to play in a premiership and played less than 75 games?)

Then, answer the question yourself. Repeat your own answers ad nauseum throughout the 3 hours you're on air.

Spruik "Midday Madness" as if you've just invented the entire concept of talk back radio. The only twist here is that "if you call you get on" - aka "If you call your question will be rushed through and given short shrift with a rushed, unresearched reply."

If you agree with Dwayne's own answer to his own provocation, you win a T-shirt you'd be embarrassed to paint the house in. If you disagree, well I guess you got on air and Dwayne will patronise you with "That's the beauty of Midday Madness, we all get to have our say." Even though your say was briskly shot down and you had no chance of getting the last word in. If you call with something unrelated to the provocation, or heaven forbid, something not related to AFL, Dwayne will bumble his way through an answer he's totally unprepared for and quickly move onto the next call in the name of 'if you call you get on.'

Sometimes he'll have a guest on - usually the same guest every week who as you say is a "Superstar" - and we get to listen to Dwayne gush over him for 20mins with some lightweight questions that would make Dorothy Dix blush.

This happens every. Single. Day.

Dwayne getting the Moobs out at Gather Round. Did NOT have that on the bingo card!
Fortunately it was Radio.

I heard that, giving his Dwayne’s World T shirt to a listener.
Just goes to show what a good bloke the Pipe is.

 

[WAbulldog]

“Carlton are coming in to this game with good form even though they haven’t won a game”

 

[Curnowhan]

“Just goes the required 14 (metres)”

Just finished watching the game.

I wouldn't assume this f**kwit knows anything at all.

There's certainly no evidence to suggest that he does.
