A certain football commentator has taken a jab at our fair city.
James Brayshaw calling Geelong a dump of a joint after he had to sit in traffic on his way home from the Cattery.
It seems James wasn’t happy about being forced to spend time in his car after Friday night’s game, which he called for television.
“You leave Geelong and you get onto the freeway back to Melbourne. You approach the West Gate and it goes from four lanes at 10 o’clock to one lane at 15km (per hour),” he said on radio on Saturday.
“Then it says as an option if you don’t want to do 20km (per hour) for half an hour in one lane behind trucks, there’s an option you can spit out onto the Ring Road. So I went, you know what, stuff it. So I get onto the Ring Road and that’s completely shut. All four lanes of the Ring Road are completely shut.”
It led to a whack at Geelong.
“Have a think about what goes on in Geelong — not much goes on there,” he said.
“They don’t have Madonna concerts on a weekly basis. They have one game of footy, it’s the only thing that happens in that dump of a joint.
“So when you have a game of footy leave your friggin roads open. Jesus Christ how hard is it.”
Heaven forbid a Melbourneite spend time in traffic.
