Ch7 stars called out for ‘over-the-top’ praise

Seven’s leading AFL commentary duo have been called out for a case of commentary favouritism in the Anzac Day blockbuster.Darcy is also on the Bulldogs board and was commentating his son Sam while making a concerted effort not to come across as a biased dad.

Brayshaw is close friends with Kelly’s father Craig, the Collingwood chief executive and Robinson wrote that relationship “could or could not have played a role in his over-the-top appreciation of the Bombers’ back flanker”. After Kelly tackled Patrick Lipinksi soon after, Taylor suggested he could attract some votes in the Anzac Day medal.

But it could be argued there were at least half a dozen Essendon players who had a bigger impact on the game.The panel of Collingwood great Dale Thomas, Crows icon Eddie Betts, Geelong great Cameron Ling, football reporter Andrew Wu and football reporter Sarah Black varied significantly in the votes awarded in a game where there were few standout players.

Essendon teammate Andrew McGrath finished second with seven votes, while Collingwood star Nick Daicos was third with five votes.Craig Kelly with son Jake in Essendon's rooms after the Anzac Day draw.
