Matt Johns commentary

[Beavers Headgear]

Does he offer anything other than this, I hear it every game

"They need to attack more direct, they are too sideways at the moment"

and at about the 20min point of each half

"The big guys are getting tired, the little men are going to come into play now"

Is almost as repetitive as Costigan's commentary

 

[_Johnsy]

I'd take johns over ikin in a heartbeat.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

True that Johnsy, Ikin is woeful

Don't mind Johns too much, but have noticed this season how repetitive he is with those 2 points above

 

[_Johnsy]

Maybe he is gus's love child ?

We need Darrell Eastlake now there is a commentator.:crazy:

Johns is the product of the "seppo personality cult" brand of journalism. He is about as relevant to commentary as the fabricated "Wolfman" is to quality Rugby League.

 

[wittyfan]

Wolfman is the real deal!

Just ask Cameron on the Today show.

hahahah hes obsessed with Dave isnt he?

 

[Flapper]

I like him as a character, but he adds little substance, as is the case for the Ch 9 commentary team, no rocking the boat, no negative comments towards the quality of refereeing. It's sanitised bullsh*t.

Yep, his crush is so obvious!

We need a fresh voice.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, don't let Laurie Daley commentate any more Raiders games for eternity :sarcasm:

M Johns is a disgrace. He doesnt have splinters up his arse, he has wooden fence posts. He was one again exposed on the Sunday Roast with him trying to not rock any boats by defending Jamie Lyons decision to not want to play rep football.
Gould came over the top of him and made him look like someone with no clue...but then Johns has no clue

I love Gordie Tallis' stuff. I think I'm the only one though. Sterlo is also good.

 

[trudge]

if you're going to talk, have something to say...

Warren Ryan and David Morrow are the best I've ever heard. Smart. Passionate. No vested interests.

I agree.
He is f**king painful to listen to and it's even worse when you have to see his monkey looking face as well.

You would think that seeing as Channel Nine basically own the game that their commentators would not be the on the fence post up my arse type of commentators, they would be commentators who discuss the game properly, including attacking the hard parts. Channel Nine seems to be hiring star players who are sh*t commentators, apart from Ben Ikin who was a sh*t player and is still sh*t while commentating.

At the ABC Grandstand they have relative 'nobodies' who know their stuff, are passionate and aren't that afraid to tackle the real big issues.

*Rant over*

Wilko (Peter WILKINS)

who used to be on grandstand and The Fat is the best league commentator bar none.
