I miss the ABC commentators. Plus Soders gets on my nerves in general.

I don't, at least the Channel 7 commentators are talking footy instead of about the weather on the moon or the design of their ties. (So far)

Goal to the Power Reserves. 25 mins into the 2nd qtr.

Are 7 using only one camera?

[Wedgie]

Shocking mistake by OShea gives Newton a kick after the siren for Norwood.

He goals.

I wish!
Was annoyed early on when they were alternating the cameras too much like the ABC used to but things improved as the game went on.

[Gozu]

Good first half from Norwood.

Looks like a good crowd too.

[Jim05]

[quote="whufc"]What's the crowd look like

Hard to tell on the TV, maybe 4k?

Can't wait to see the crowd figure.

Lucky to be 6k, smallest Port following ive ever seen

Just turned on the tv, looks like a good crowd.[/quote]

May look ok on TV but I havnt missed a game against Port at the Parade for almost 40 years and would think it feels like one of the smallest crowds between us. The Port cheer squad would only be half its normal size.
Perhaps its the Thursday night time slot, time will tell I guess

[topsywaldron]

The commentators seem surprised Norwood are trying.

[Jim05]

Still in this with a big shout. Need to shut Summerton down, has been quality as always. A little bit more composure in forward 50 would be nice but cant fault our tackling and pressure, has been ferocious

[whufc]

The commentators seem surprised Norwood are trying.

That was the impression I got as well, all the chat was about what Norwood had to do to contain Port and whether Norwood could maintain it for four quarters

[Wedgie]

Great start to the 2nd half for Norwood but a point to Norwood.

Norwood 49
Power Reserves 27

At least the ABC commentators had done their research and knew who the players were .

Ginever, who was OK as special comments for ABC, is desperately poor these days.

[Dutchy]

As much as I hate them how sad is it to see the Magpie jumper being used as a development tool? None of them are interested in playing team footy...

[Jim05]

2 quick goals and the margin out to 32

[Ted E Bear]

very disappointing port. they have nothing. whats with Summertons loopy handballs?
Renouf is useless

[Ted E Bear]

Hitchcock , Mitchell, Neade not worth a pinch of salt

Ginever's the only thing bringing the channel 7 commentary down.
Love Case and Soder, good to have people with good professional voices commentating.
Just need Ginever to shut up!
