Here I was thinking it was all about a big bloke getting the ball and running into a different big bloke really fast.</p>
<p>Just listened to the GF (via the internet), both the shouting 3AW and the ABC wa~hless commentary.<br />
Both sounded good for a bloke in Tokyo who gets rock-all footy on the telly or radio here.</p>
<p>Anyway, well done CATS, pinched a cliff-hanger. Saints will have to come back again.</p>

<p>Our shows that are supposed to be entertaining are anything but. (The Footy Show)</p>
<p>Our shows that are supposed to be informative lack <i>good</i> information. (On The Couch.) And don't you get sick of them concocting stats graphics to back up obvious points of view that need no illustration.</p>
<p>And our shows that are a bit of each can't seem to get the mix right between entertainment and information. (The rest.)</p>
<p>If it was up to me, I would cherry pick AFL Teams and Footy Classified.</p>
<p>I'm not a big wrap for the Nine Rugby Footy show. But in general the rugby league shows appear to be more natural and less pretentious than our footy shows.</p>
<p>A tentative observation: is it just possible that it is easier to talk/demonstrate Rugby League tactics.</p>Adsy commented on 'DISCHARGE YOUR GLASSES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0120a5eeec4f970c2009-09-25T05:28:16Z2009-09-25T05:28:16ZAdsyWe desperately need a AFL Tactics type show in the same guise as NRL Tactics, which I watched fully for...<p>We desperately need a AFL Tactics type show in the same guise as NRL Tactics, which I watched fully for the first time the other night, and was fantastic. Would be a good vehicle for a new unknown talent I reckon, instead of the jokers we're already subjected to. </p>Tony commented on 'DISCHARGE YOUR GLASSES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0120a5eea8ee970c2009-09-25T02:59:15Z2009-09-25T02:59:15ZTonyhttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/I'd give Before The Bounce a big roost.

<p>What is the etymology of "gives it a big roost"?</p>
<p>The term makes me chuckle.</p>RT commented on 'DISCHARGE YOUR GLASSES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0120a597d4f1970b2009-09-25T02:05:12Z2009-09-25T02:05:12ZRTBTB has gone from must see to actively avoiding the shit.

<p>Is is too soon after his passing to say that I never liked Clinton's Joe Buck-lite, manufactured American style.</p>
<p>Whately has been on Before The Bounce and he is comprehensively too smart for those footy trogs. Mind you, it wouldn't be hard to shine among the appalling Dunstall/Frawley challenge fiasco.</p>Bruce commented on 'DISCHARGE YOUR GLASSES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0120a5ee2676970c2009-09-24T23:34:51Z2009-09-24T23:34:51ZBrucehttp://dilletante.tenpm.com.auI like Lane and Whately.

They are conscious of the fact that they are calling for a national audience and so do the best job of telling us what is actually happening. I also mostly agree with their positions on things like holding the ball. Tim occasionally lets a bee get into his bonnet but I refuse to deal with the other clowns.</p>
