I enjoyed his comment when Keith Galloway scored his try.

"Buy yourself a new calendar. Keithy Galloway goes over to score" or something similar.

Not a Vossyism, but a Dalyism from the Sea Eagles v Storm game last night. "And Manly have gone crash boom wham" (sounded terrible in real-life).

He could be the funniest person earth and I would still hate him, his voice is more annoying than a cat scratching a blackboard while being choked to death.
He puts on his fake big voice, and it's just painful to listen to.

Yeah, I don't like Johns too much either and does Fittler even speak English? I'm still not sure.

Voss is my #1 hated commentator though.

i switched off the warriors game last night and decided to watch the dragons instead. after two minutes of that f**king commentary i decided to switch back to watching my team get reamed.

I really don't understand why Vossy is liked so much, he is the worst commentator ever.

He is so fake, anyone from these forums could do the same as him. Just get on there and pretend to be Darryl Eastlake. Good commentators have a natural voice for commentary, Voss' is so put on it's not funny.

He even copies Rabs' dumb lines about where players come from or what their parents do, "the son of a truck driver from the coalmining town goes over for a try" who gives a ****.

He is another Eddie Macguire, no talent other than persistence. I want to see someone with natural commentary talent get in there rather than someone who thought he'd want to do it from a young age and just kept pushing until he made it.

Sounds like you would prefer Raaaayyyyyyyyy.

Which is sad, because of the three, Voss is the best, Hadley the f*cking abysmal worst.

A Vossyism from a few years back - "Mobile phones weren't around when he last scored a try".

It's great to have Vossy back.

No, that's just you.

Vossy brings a combination of professionalism, knowledge, humour and an absence of arrogance, overcoached commentating and plasticity.

Bruce Macaveney - possibly the most achieved commentator in Australia. How would he go calling the footy - it would be as boring as batshit compared to Vossy - who encourages the humour and sets an enjoyable tone.

I could never imagine Vossy calling a GF or Origin though. However, he is an utter professional without a hint of agenda.

What I find funny is that last year everyone was sick of Vossy.

Then Hadley comes along and everyone's hatred of him means everyone wants Vossy.

I've found that quite curious too.

A. Voss has been a beacon of professionalism amidst a mire of mediocrity at Channel Nine for years.

Laurie Daley, the running monologue. It's like the aural version of the train wreck - I can't put it on mute, I have to listen to the dribble.

How shit has the Roast been with Tim Gilbert.

I only realised this year I only watched the Footy Show because I know the Roast is next.

Not everyone was sick of Vossy last year. I sure as hell wasn't!
