Embarrassment is an understatement.
Pre covid, I spent the best part of the previous 6-7 years as part of the football broadcast team for my local community radio station. Considering all the advantages they possess, the quality of broadcasting on the major channels in this country is pathetic and comes to no surprise the unprofessionalism when compared to any televised international sport. Quality callers are rarely utilised instead favouring egomaniacal ex players on bloated contracts clinging on to any remaining relevance for dear life and displaying no interest in the game and prefer to engage in inane drivel. Noticed a lot of people constantly blaming AFL House for the excessive/unnecessary rule changes in recent seasons but the vitriol could be better directed to the broadcast partners who make no attempt to improve their product whatsoever yet lay all of the blame on the "state of the game", etc.
