Just incredible, given everything the #AFL pours into developing its brand, that it still suffers the appalling #7mate commentary lead by the insufferable Brian Taylor. #AFLFinals.

#BrianTaylor’s lazy, repetitive #7mate #AFL commentary features chronic overuse of filler words ‘here’, ‘there’ and ‘little’. The bumbling Bristle’s stats Q2 #PiesvLions

28x ‘here’
11x ‘there’
9x ‘little’

Time for a new voice. Someone less annoying, that doesn’t say ‘here’ every sentence.

“Collingwood get out of trouble” announces #BrianTaylor as Brisbane intercepts the ball. #7mate #AFL.
September 20, 2025 at 8:23 AM
The insufferable #BrianTaylor’s insipid #7mate #AFL commentary stats Q1 #PiesvLions

28x here’
9x ‘there’
6x ‘little’

Hon. mention 5x ‘banged’.

Listening to this utter flog is torture. Especially given there is FAR better talent available.

Noooooooooo please not Brian Taylor commentating the game today. Sigh.

Shame that ads are all AI now. Such a shame. Feeling for everyone in advertising right now. Such valuable members of society. Such a shame.

#RayBan collab with #Meta doing irreversible damage to the brand lol.

#Channel7 #AFL commentators not even pretending to try anymore. Insipid. #MelbournevCollingwood

THE WIZARD!!! Usually renowned for turning 6 points into 1! This time he SCORES! WHAT IS THIS ALCHEMY!?!! #AFL

The bumbling Brian Taylor’s meaningless filler-word stats Q4, round 12, #LionsvBombers:
- 32x “here”
- 11x “there”
- 14x “little”

A relentless stream of drivel by the worst commentator in the business #AFL #7mate #channel7

Brian Taylor is off his tree. #AFL

#BrianTaylor says “here” “there” and “little” throughout his appalling #AFL commentary. In ONE quarter - Q3, round 12, #LionsvBombers (vs. rest of the entire commentary team):
- 30x “here” (5)
- 20x “there” (2)
- 13x “little” (3)

Surprising that #7mate #channel7 accept it.

“They all fly” announces Brian Taylor as literally not a single player in the pack jumped #7mate #AFL #BrisbanevEssendon

Brian Taylor delivers his appalling #AFL commentary in an insufferable nasal drawl reminiscent of fingernails on a blackboard. It’s baffling why #7mate accepts it. The bumbling Bristle’s filler word stats, round 11 Cats v Bulldogs Q4:
- 20x “here”
- 6x “there”
- 5x “little”

“Absaloot crunch time for the Dogs. Are they in it? Aren’t they in it?” - Brian Taylor

“Vandermeer squeezes it home” announces Brian Taylor as Vandermeer kicks the ball into the goal post.

#AFL #7mate

Please employ a commentator with some actual capability.

“Wundaful use” announces Brian Taylor as Bontempelli’s handball misses the target.

Far better talent available than this flog. Why do fans have to suffer it?

Brian Taylor’s insufferable #AFL commentary makes watching Thursday night footy impossible.

Last 7 mins of Q2 #CatsvDogs the Bumbling bristle said:
- “Here” 10x
- “There” 3x
- “Little” 6x

Please #7plus make it stop. Please. Please make it stop.

Brian Taylor’s atrocious #AFL commentary features chronic overuse of the words “here”, “there” and “little” (the first two usually at the end of every other sentence). His filler-word stats. Round 9 Fremantle v Collingwood Q1:
- 24x “here”
- 14x there”
- 9x “little”

Spare a thought for the #ABC, which tonight lost one of its’ most beloved idols #PeterDutton. Who will it fawn over now that Australia has repudiated this tory weirdo?

Thanks for everything #PeterDutton. Can’t wait to never see your face again and relieved to have a future uninfected by your small, narrow-minded, backward policies 🥰🥰. Please spare us from your next career endeavor.

The thing I love most about #PeterDutton (apart from his thoughtful, considered policies) is his warm, genuine smile.

Brian Taylor’s meaningless filler-word stats. Round 5 Crows v Cats Q1
- 15x “here”
- 8x “there”
- 3x “little”

Honorable mention: 1x “neat little ball”.

Insufferable stuff as always by the commentator that runs out of breath by the end of every sentence.

Brian Taylor’s insufferable nasal drawl ruining another game of #AFL footy. For an industry striving to deliver a quality product and grow its audience, it is surprising the bumbling Bristle still gets a gig, particularly given there is so much better talent available. #gatherround #CrowsvCats
