Did anyone catch Ben Dixon on Friday night after the Hawks/Bombers game?
He spent a good five minutes talking up his goal-kicking coach credentials by bagging Joe Daniher's kicking action (and whoever his kicking coach).
It was disrespectful and self-indulgent on his behalf.

I thought the analysis of Daniher's kicking is warranted and interesting, it was more the fact that he reckoned he could fix it all in a month.

I agree it's warranted. It's just Dixon's commentary was smug and full of self-interest (reading between the lines: "Essendon should employ me to help" or, at the least, "hey other clubs, remember me, I'm out here and can help") and trashing the kicking coach at Windy Hill - he actually bagged the coach who was involved in the process. I thought it was pretty disrespectful to a fellow professional.

Dixon was bagging Matthew Lloyd who was there helping Big Joe but has since left. I think Dixon is the kicking coach at Collingwood?

Seems to be working well for Cloke then.

It was valid, Daniher's ball drop is too high, when the Bombers are only getting half a dozen shots on goal for a match, they need to make sure they count.

Definitely, it's way too high. Imagine the damage he could do if he got it right.

He's going to leave the game as one of the best of his craft, he has all the attributes required, just gotta nail this component and get some decent supply again.

I wonder how many suspended Bombers will return to Windy Hill.

I am quite sure Dale Lewis has had a mention here. Can't say I am a fan of the dribble he goes on with. And while it's not his fault alone, I had MMM on the radio to get an idea on the Port/Dogs game. It was late in the 3rd quarter when I tuned in. I listened in for a good 8 minutes before they gave a score other than its 69 to 66.... Yeah, great - who's ******* leading!
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

What do you expect from a Hawthorn knob jockey. At least the rest of them could actually play.

Ling - drives me crazy with his comments, post match i/v's & the ridiculous Hame & Den to his co-commentators

Dunstall King & Frawley have ruined a great show On the couch, i use to love that program.

Brereton the dribbler Uuuurgh, Frawley, Johnson (just shutup for awhile)

They need to refresh Fox & give some new blood a go,

the Fox commentators now are near enough for me to cancel they are that annoying.

If only the radio commentary was in sync with TV, Tim Lane etc & those on AFL Live are so much better

Fox is the B grade Ch 7 is the A grade. When I watch the Crows game each week I cringe when I know it's a Fox game with their crap commentators and annoying graphics.

I mean seriously Dwayne Russell, David King, Dermie, Brad Johnson, Ricciuto, Barry Hall, Jonathan Brown the list goes on. Then their shows during the week I remember that drunk clown Robbo & Maclure too. What about Pickering is he still on there?

Kind of glad I don't have Fox. The old "less is more" theory when it comes to football flap trapping suits me fine.

Game Day recorded Sunday morning for Sunday night, Talking Footy on Monday night is about it.

The more I see the Fox folks shit canned on here the better the money feels in my pocket.

I presume Fox thought they were adding some credibility and quality by bringing in Sandy Roberts.

How wrong they were!
