Fox Footy Gerard Healy

[BazBoy]

During Fox televising of game (watched it in Broome) yesterday said

Collingwood play a worse brand of footy than 17 other clubs

[What'sinaname]

he's correct.

[Haff]

Uninspiring commentator is Gerard, in this case, he is correct.

Thank Mr.Captain Obvious

he also is the most biased commentator going around. Don't know whether he actually knows he hates Collingwood or if he just has an inherent bias against us. If you watch, every single free paid against us is a "clear" free kick. Nearly every free we get is a "bit lucky" and there are countless frees not paid where he always seems to believe

He banged on mercilessly about the Greenwood hit, even when it was revealed he hit the shoulder not the head (and that the head was a glancing blow), and then when Hoskin Elliot gets whacked behind play, he immediately plays it down as "nothing in it" even though it was a sniping wack to the head.

It happens week in week out and it is specifically him! quite frustrating and i'm surprised he hasnt been counselled for it. If Eddie commentated with this bias, the league wouldnt let him commentate.

Nothing on Dwayne "hard on for Port Power" Russell who can't also string three sentences together on 3AW without mentioning a sponsor!

Gerard Healy effing HATES collingwood.

And yes, the defence of opposition frees for and overt justification of Collingwood frees against is getting tiresome. I switched off at half time and didn't return.

When you live in a 10-team town end everyone hates you and only you, and can be a freakin' boring, lonely place. I am so envious of one town Us sports teams where an entire town is in it together. It's actually getting worse if you can believe it. All these Gen Y media people who have no ide why they hate collingwood, jumping on the obvious hate filled bias bandwagon with their commentary and reporting to 'fit in' with whatever agenda the media has.

Yep commentry from a known hater.

Actually our brand of footy is bloody good - for about 2 quarters a game.

The other Gerard (Whately) said on 774 ABC radio this morning that he'd be happy for Bucks to coach his club (Geelong). I wonder what Chris Scott will respond with on AFL 360 tonight???

^ When?

During the ongoing supplements scandal, he was one of the few journalists who wasn't a defender of Hird's role in the scandal unlike others such as Robbo.
