Thread: Huddo's 'Gary' Jack Call

    Huddo's 'Gary' Jack Call

    Anthony Hudson twice called Kieren 'Gary Jack', and no-one corrected him.
    Were they being polite or did they not pick it up?

    Don't think it was Huddo. Maybe Darcy. Definitely said it twice though. I have noticed a trend where other commentators rarely correct each other

    In the Dogs v Giants game, I thought heard one of the commentators refer to Will Hoskin-Elliott (Giants player) as Horlin-Smith (Cats listed player). No correction even though I suspect they knew a mistake had been made. I think it's an unwritten code not to draw attention to mistakes unless they're absolute clangers. They probably hope it (the mistake) goes through to the keeper!

    AFAIK, Darcy is a commentator on C7 not Fox Footy. It couldn't be him.

    It was Lynch, from memory. A surprise given he's usually one of the better commentators when it comes to knowledge and respect for the Swans
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

    I think they call it the 'Brian Taylor' rule.

    Think it all goes so quickly that its here and gone in a flash. Don't like it, but then again they are human (aren't they? might be wrong about that). As long as I don't have to be subjected to Roosy (I know, my bad) and I am spared BT on occasion, its better than it was....relatively .

    At least Macca is no longer Mark. That's a plus.

    Remember when Adam Schneider and Amon Buchanan both played?
    They were always mistaken for one another.

    There was also a time when Marty Mattner and 'Reg' were confused.
