That's easy to explain when Daddy is a long time employee of the station.Having watched the Swans game last night I am more than ever convinced that much waning interest in AFL is fuelled by inane TV commentary.
Are Channel 7 out to destroy the game?
I just can't stomach listening to Brian Taylor or James Brayshaw for an instant and Channel 7's employment of Jobe Watson in any capacity is just baffling.
As a boy growing up I loved listening to commentators ( especially in Cricket) as I felt blessed overhearing the adult world that I would grow into. insight into tactics and anecdotal stories were a treasure.
Now I feel the commentary is aimed at children, who probably aren't listening anyway.
Brian Taylor can't possibly review his efforts like Roaming Brian last night and realise the flimsiness of his performance.
Sadly our own Richo has also descended to almost meaningless drivel.
All this hyperbole started with Rex Hunt imo and it's a pity that media think that this is what the listening audience wants.
Rant over!
