Fox Sports Commentary Team for NBL Season

Round 15 with 4 to go, who's most likely to be in the commentary team for the finals?
Homicide is a definite with the contract he signed and Heal also.
I'd like to see Harvey in there....especially for the GF games.

sounds like my wedding night.

I remember when homicide interviewed me at half time.

I could see in his eyes that he could see in my eyes that neither of us was enjoying this.

He's got sturdy hips too, good for childbearing.

John does look like a stable breadwinner.

Years ago

Casey's pretty to look at though. That damn silver fox.

Years ago

Or mentions Brendan Joyce for a coaching vacancy.

Years ago

John Casey bingo was back when he started commentating against last season :)

Although if you want to get really hammered (pun intended) have a drinking game for everytime Heal says "trifecta"... :/

"Well, I don't think anyone likes watching moles on their TV, especially during sports."

Sweet mother of Moses I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever seen on this forum.

Kid, go to pornhub if you need to get a tingle in your dingle. This is sports commentary, not a god damn Swedish art film. There's a reason why the government doesn't let you near school playgrounds anymore....

And besides, people hire you regardless of your looks - else you'd be ringing the giant bells of Notre Dame Cathedral....

Years ago

You're the moron. TV is an escape from reality, where we like watching good looking people.

Really? I don't rate her. Is it because we have barely any women when we finally get one she seems hotter than she really is?
Is it possibly that 'be attractive' isn't actually the job description?
Years ago

She's obviously attractive but I think she's fairly astute for an 'outsider' who's come on board. Does a good job on Fox Sports 500 too.

Please please please have Abbey Gelmi on sideline commentary again.

Tommy Greer and Santamaria have been fantastic.

Why don't they get the likes of Michelle Timms or Robyn Maher, they were commentators with another who's name escapes me right now for a couple of WNBL games and I think from memory they also called some junior national games, ok not TV but they at least knew the game well enough and also were slightly entertaining in their commentary.

I agree with the DR.......great to see gender diversity ( insert eye roll) come on Fox sport at least make it appear that your interested in the women's sport, they are after all paying you to do a job, regardless of size of job it's still money in the bank or fox sport

Years ago

One saving grace is that Joyce isn't a commentator. PHEW!

Years ago

"Are you kidding me? Heal, Carfino, Harvey, Rosen etc etc have been around for 25+ years and they don't know the game - please"

Rosen, Harvey - yes, they aren't bad.

Carfino - kind of

Heal - no. has no idea.

Anymore?

In general they are poor.

Years ago

Oh, I have just realised. Unless you have played for Adelaide or Perth you are not liked as a commentator

LOL

Years ago

"The problem is they don't analyse the game at all. The commentators are pathetic, especially the ex-ballers who don't seem to know anything about the sport they've played their whole life? It's shocking."

OMFG

listen to all the haters.

Why do we care who is calling? As long as they know the game I am fine with it.

I actually watch the game and listen to what they have to say and don't care who does it.

Years ago

Heal - We will all want to punch him in the face. Again.

Years ago

I don't mind it. They all have different styles and I like it.

Heal - Will be the face again.

Harvey - not bad but ok

Greer - to much Nbl/melbourne for me

Homocide - Yeah baby

Rosen - Love his knowledge. Best in game caller from ball stance

Carfino - Just does what he does

Redhage - NFI

Tragargh - in small doses

Years ago

LK has a crush on Homocide - he would get courtside seats at United games sitting next to him.

Otherwise this makes no sense.

Years ago

You pay peanuts you get monkeys.

Back in Australia after many years guys. Man why the Homicide hate on here. I am so hyped he is back on the Mic. I wanna see Heal, Carfino and Homicide calling a game together,

Years ago
Where's Brad Robbins when you need him?

Don't. Even. Joke. About. That...
Years ago

Surprised Heal is on the list despite ongoing court controversy.

I agree with most others, the 'experts' are terrible. I personally don't mind Harvey but would mute the others.

Realistically on the flipside, who is potentially out there who could do a reasonable job? Bradtke is a name that pops up for me. Did D-Mac ever gig commentating a crack? If so and he wasn't terrible, I wouldn't mind seeing him either.

Years ago

Yes we do want personalities. But Fox go from one extreme to the other. Homocide who is out of control, then Redhage who has no personality and the most boring person on the planet.

Pathetic appointments. This plus the uniforms are still pathetic despite the LK era.

Years ago

Hopefully there are some Casey and Carfino teamups just for old times sake.

Years ago

LOL at wanting Bill Woods back... wtf.

Years ago

Bill Woods did some games last season.

Not returning? That's a shame.

Years ago

Redhage? :| He's the most boring NBL player (personality wise) of all time. ARGH!

Horrible list, just horrible!

Interesting that most of the experts made careers of being villains

Sounds like Williams is a regular this year, rather than the intermittent appearances of a couple of years ago. Even those were far too much of him...

Years ago

Brad Rosen...shudder

Corey Williams...gulp

Good to see Casey back!

AJ Ogilvy is scrimmaging in Wollongong today with the Hawks and up to 20 possible new recruits for the Hawks 3 final roster spots.

Is he looking to play in the NBL this season?
