Fox V Channel 9

I was watching the game on Fox last night until I couldn't take the Walters commentary any longer. How that guy is the QLD origin coach only proves to me that that team hasn't needed a coach for many years now. He just doesn't have a footballing brain. His comments are stupid. Even Brandy wouldn't reply to him when he he asked Brandy questions.

So I turned it over to 9. Walters-free 9 all the way.

Compered the Quality between the two during last nights game, No contest as Ch9 quality is absolutely crap and they should be ashamed of it .

I watch digital pass on mute and listen to podcasts on other topics.

Watching all eight games a week I really enjoy the chance to catch up on podcasts

Once upon a time you would go Fox without even thinking. Now?
Fox's five star lineup:
Yvonne: competent
Mick ennis: a well spoken wanker
Steve Roach: fat f**king buffoon
Gordon Tallis: grade a f**kstick
Wazza: grating at times and mega ego
Kevin Walters: dribbler
Brandy: dribbler
Andy Raymond: epic dribbler

Fox only because the quality of coverage is better and because locky and wally's lovefest for tge f**king broncos is cringe worthy.

You'd have to be a special sort of fool to pay for Foxtel and then watch on 9.

Fox all the way for me, same as last year. Only watched Origin on 9 last year but twice at the pub another with a lot of noisy merkins so didn't catch any commentary, just the crap picture quality. Fox HD to 9HD is like putting your granddad's glasses on as a kid.

Depends who is commentating really. Fox is even worse sometimes if No Sterlo on 9 or no Vossy on Fox like last night. Just mute and have radio commentary and watch. Channel 9HD is ok in that regard

Fox would do well to turn up the effects mike. I could barely hear the crowd.

this
fox sounds muffled

9's mikes pick up the ground /crowd noise a lot better

otherwise its fox

I actually just posted something similar in another thread (probs wrong thread) but the channel 9 mics are just so unnatural and actually off-putting when you switch between the two imo.

Fox is far more natural in comparison.

Vossy lead commentating on the dogs was the best thing about the Game! turned apretty dour affair into entertaining 90mins. Shame about Roach wanting to argue every ref decision and criticise players so much.

i think its the opposite
fox sounds un natural ... 9 gives a more realistic experience

fox has far better covergae though.

Roach is a shocking commentator. Bulldogs were attacking
the Storm goal line and he was criticising them for going wide and not making metres up the middle when they're literally 5m out lol

Fox. Any opportunity to avoid Ray Hadley call the horse... I mean footy is enough of a reason for me.

Fox by the length of the straight but please flick the main caller in the roosters game. Annoying.
