Gasnier commentary

I don't care what channel etc.

Matt Thompson is the best caller in the country for mine.

No one is more qualified for expert opinion than Sterlo, Fittler, Johns and Gus -the problem is in all the crap they go on with. Especially Gus when he is on with Ray Warren (passed it now), because he keeps trying to wind him up and Rabs bites every time. If they stuck to the facts, instead of trying to be funny or entertaining (which they are not) - Channel 9 would kill it.

All the so called experts on Fox are just that (so called) - all I see Warren Smith doing is yell and as a caller Voss makes a great brick layer.

Yvonne Sampson and James Bracey are about on par - I do prefer Yvonne though.

Just my opinion.
 
Gasnier is pretty decent now - been a tough leaning curve for the guy, but as others have mentioned he's insightful, fair, and seems to like the Tigers - and you can tell he just loves the game.

From what I've heard of Ryan Phelan he went "Big Leagues" and is now sports reporting on one of the commercial networks - FWIW The difference in money for someone like Phelan is huge - like 100% more money huge.

Fox sports aren't stupid - look at the signing of Cooper Cronk - he's one of the most intelligent and well spoken players I've seen in a long while.

Fox would be wise to sign players like DCE, Adam Blair, Elijah Taylor, Jarrod Croker towards the end of their careers for potential media careers - as they are all highly intelligent, articulate players.

Gaz is a dill..but don't mind his commentary…he is fair to all teams...

Ennis is catching Bwaith with a bullett ...they way he has that inflection in his voice is reaching Andy Raymond proportions...

Can't agree Geo - Gasnier seems to have a good read of teams and their strengths and weaknesses. He obviously has a weak spot for the Dragons but tries pretty hard to be fair.

As in Fox is more $$ than FTA or vice versa?
I ran into Phelan at the Sheaf a year or two back, just after he'd moved on, and he said that Fox didn't renew his contract rather than him looking elsewhere. I think he ended up on 7, so he's hardly battling.
 
Not sure that any of the so called experts realize that television is a visual medium, and that veiwers can actually see what is happening.

We really do NOT need these people telling us the bleeding obvious.

Bring back Eddy Waring.

Hope you are feeling better after the win and a few days off.
 
Gaz is one of the very few commentators who treats every team equal. Even when the Dragons are playing he gives a very unbiased call. Also he seems to have a IQ unlike many others
