Another opportunity to get my head on television. :lol:
Saturday's ABC TV game is at Skilled Stadium and there won't be much of a crowd, that won't look good for the television.
Talking ABC TV's coverage, what are everyone's thoughts on Darren Boyd?
I think he does a grerat job each week and having some younger on air talent give some inspiration to aspiring sports journalists/commentators like myself.
He did the netball last night, but don't bisit the netball forum where I post because he is getting an absolute pasting.

I think he presents very poorly, and lacks any credibility.
Maybe harsh, but thats how I see it.
What about Ross Booth...?
Oh geez Ben I noticed the last Werribee game at home which they won you were in the rooms making a goose of yourself in front of the camera.
As for Darren Boyd, I think Dolphin has been a bit harsh, but I don't think they need him in their coverage because he doesn't enhance it in any way. It is almost as though they have had to find him roles to fulfil. If you are going to add something you should do it to make it better and this years coverage is no better with him in it than it was without him last year.
If they want to make use of having a boundary rider they should look at the way the SANFL and WAFL coverage use their boundary man to read out interchange benches and just provide a lot more ground updates during the quarter. Or an alternative, give him a roving mike and have him go into the crowd and if he sees an AFL coach watching actually have a chat for a minute or two during the game (as C7 used to do with the VFL way back in 2000/2001), just something different.
Yet another way off topic chat in a specific thread though...
Anyway I think the VFL made the right choice on the TV games. Coburg v Bullants particularly should be a beauty to end the season. Good for Coburg also who get a rough deal with TV games I think.
Nah, I was just saying hello to everyone mate. :lol:
Darren did a big of roving mike stuff earlier this year, he spoke to Matthew Lloyd at the Sandy v Bendigo game and he spoke to Joffa at Williamstown v Scoprions two or three weeks ago.
Noticed footyman thought coburg got the raw end of the deal with tv. port have had 1 tv game and 1 sen game, must be cause we are a stand alone club, then again the dolphins are a stand alone club aswell..
Not quite sure what this means. :?
Our game against Williamstown is our second TV game for the season. I think all clubs allocated a minimum of two televised games.
SEN probably weren't too keen on covering Ports games, after watching us get flogged by Willy earlier in the season.

Stand alone clubs are allocated 2 home TV games, and the rest 1.
What you pick up on away games is the "luck of the draw".
And Ons is probably right about the SEN issue.
I think SEN have covered Frankston once at home, and once at Preston and last weekend at Nth Ballarat. The restriction with SEN is that they will only cover Saturday on the weekend, so this limits their options.
In reality, SEN will cover EVERY Frankston home game available to them this year.
