The so called commentary is a ******* disgrace, everyone needs to complain to the SANFL about this ignorant cow.

Agreed. Bloody trial game though.

Crows won the frees 25 to 11. Thankfully they’re such a rubbish team that it didn’t make a difference. If that’s their next level then their AFL team will be cellar dwellers for a while yet.

I have to agree.
I have just watched the game on the digital pass having been at the Game.
I will be ringing the SANFL on Monday to complain about the commentary. I implore anyone else who watched the game via the digital pass to do the same. We pay for the privilege of hearing about Matt Crouch, Billy Frampton, Jacko Hately etc whilst in the meantime North score another goal with only a fleeting acknowledgement.
The commentators were just completely unaware of anything. Early on they said that the Crows were going with a slight breeze when North were actually kicking with a gale,
And I don't usually comment about umpiring but the display today was abysmal. How North could have been so far in front yet get so few frees was amazing. It is a wonder that the game didn't descend into an all in brawl given the frustration North players must have felt. The number of times a Crows player had ample opportunity to get rid of the ball, would be tackled and turned 360 degrees and a ball up resulted was disgraceful.
Having complained bitterly I must say that I was very pleased with the Roosters today. They have been in excellent form (despite the male commentator saying that they were bringing indifferent form into the game). North have now won their last 4 games by 76 points, 44 points, 48 points and now 54 points. I would take indifferent form like that any day.
North now have four difficult games to end the minor round. They play Sturt at Unley, Eagles at Prospect, South at Noarlunga and Norwood at home.

I was happy with The Roosters today also .
The type of day where plenty of 50/50 ground balls were there to be won and I reckon we got to 80% of them 1st.
P.S. James Craig offers nothing to this side.

The other irksome thing was that she often referred to the Crows as 'we', which emphasised a lack of impartiality. Every caller has their team, but you need to keep it under wraps.

A stark contrast to a couple of weeks earlier, when during the Port-Centrals match at Elizabeth Wayne Weidemann commented neutrally on his son kicking a critical last quarter goal for Port. We certainly didn't hear about whether he eats gluten or gained 18 kilos in the off-season.

I mute the commentary as it adds nothing to the coverage. I’m also watching the races at the same time though..

Yeah and you also wouldn’t know Phil Aspinal is a dogs man unless you knew his history on here or saw him at games previous to commentating

North clearly the form side of the comp currently. I would expect them to win at least 3 of their last 4 & secure the double chance.

True, but the last 4 wins have been against sides outside the 5. The last three rounds will be the acid test. Some quality players that didn't play in Saturday's game are set to return soon - Alex Barns, Billy Hartung, Aaron Young, and Tanner Smith. Kym LeBois is a bit further away, I think.
