    Paul Roos commentating our games

    Well neutral fans hate hearing Roos commentating Sydney games. What do we think about him commentating ours?

    I love Roos for all he has done for us but i am finding him absolutely painful when commentating our games.
    It is blatantly biased and too boys club for my liking.
    It must be absolutely annoying to neutral supporters having a commentator constantly referring to our players by their nicknames (Goodesy, Pykey, Mcveighey..etc.) and talking non stop about what the Swans are doing well enthusiastically while not giving the opposition team anywhere near enough insight.

    TBH i just find it completely cringeworthy and feel that Roos should be banned from commentating Swans games.

    What do you think?

    I would have to agree while personally I don't mind it as such and he does offer useful insights every now and then, but as a supporter of another club I would find his one-sidedness absolutely intolerable - ala BT against the Swans

    Became very annoying and repetitive tonight.

    Would have been ropeable as a Bombers supporter with his constant negativity.

    Sorry, I have to disagree. After listening to Eddie call Collingwood games & Bruce Macavaney call Crows games its nice to have some Swans loving bias for a a change.

    My dream commentary team would be Roosey, Bobby Skilton & Troy Luff in the box with Brad Seymour offering boundary line comments & Neil Cordy giving post match interviews!

    They need to up Hall's mic by a couple of octaves, I think only whales and other submarine animals understand what he says

    Roos' repeated "The Swans are the master of . . ." was particularly grating last night.

    On the nicknames thing he does that with everyone (eg Browny for the Lions). Bit partial though.

    Don't really mind all that much.

    What I do mind is that Roos says Essadon

    That I find unbearable - there's an 'n' in there......

    Pronunciation is kind of one of those important things as a commentator I'd guess...
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
