Channel Seven star shocks viewers with remarks about footy star Marcus Bontempelli's private parts during VERY rude slow-motion replay on live TV
Channel Seven commentator Brian Taylor has given new meaning to the AFL term 'hard ball get' by focusing on footy star Marcus Bontempelli's genitalia during an eye-opening slow-motion replay on Thursday night.
The Western Bulldogs skipper gave away a free kick when he tried to tackle St Kilda's Mitch Owens from behind in the third quarter and crashed into the ball, which collided with his private parts.
Taylor described the action to viewers by saying, 'Have a look at Bontempelli here.
'He lands on the ball in an awkward position. You can see just here I think it got him right on the doodle.
'And there it is. And he felt uncomfortable for a moment.'
Taylor's quip set off laughter in the Seven commentary booth and some fans were quick to see the funny side.
'That's gotta be a disposal,' one wrote on X.
'That Bonted his Pelli,' another added.
'Helluva slowmo that one,' a third said.
However, other footy viewers thought the moment was too low-rent.
'The state of commentary and coverage… our game is dying. We used to have Commetti,' wrote one, referring to retired commentary great Dennis Cometti.
'That's why @FOXFOOTY is so much more classier than those 7 bogans. No mention of it on Fox Footy,' another said.
Superstar-in-the-making Sam Darcy kicked three goals on return from his knee injury to help lift the free-scoring Dogs to a comprehensive 72-point win.
Less than eight weeks after fearing his season was over, Darcy was an ever-present threat in the Bulldogs' thumping 20.12 (132) to 8.12 (60) victory at Marvel Stadium.
The Dogs seized control early and comfortably improved their record to 7-6, while St Kilda fell to 5-8 with the top-eight slipping away.
Bailey Dale (26 disposals), Matt Kennedy (28) and key defender Rory Lobb (17) were all influential as the Bulldogs outscored their opponents in every quarter and posted their highest total of the season.
Darcy finished with 3.2 from 19 disposals, while Aaron Naughton (three goals), Ryley Sanders, Buku Khamis and Kennedy (two each) also hit the scoreboard.
Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge thought Darcy fought well through some physical treatment from St Kilda's defenders.
'He was pretty good, 'Darc'. Obviously they paid him a fair bit of attention,' Beveridge said.
'It's something that he's going to have to deal with week to week.
'As long as he's just treated like every other key forward, that's all that matters.'
Bontempelli was restricted to 14 disposals under close attention from Marcus Windhager, and took a nasty knee to the ribs in a second-quarter marking contest.
Windhager (16 disposals, one goal) worked tirelessly for St Kilda, with Callum Wilkie strong in defence and Jack Sinclair (30 touches) busy in his 200th game.
But the Saints were well beaten, losing a lop-sided inside-50 count 68-40.
And they have cause for concern over Hunter Clark, who faces scrutiny from the match review officer for a dangerous tackle on Matt Kennedy.
Zak Jones could also be looked at over an off-the-ball bump that floored James O'Donnell.

Ange Postecoglou ‘lined up for very lucrative managerial return' just days after being sacked by Tottenham
ANGE POSTECOGLOU has been targeted for a lucrative return to management in Saudi Arabia, according to reports. The Aussie, 59, was brutally shown the door by Daniel Levy just 16 days after ending Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought with their Europa League triumph over Manchester United. 3 SunSport exclusively revealed that Postecoglou was being sounded out by clubs in Europe days after his dismissal following a dismal Premier League season. And now the riches of Saudi Arabia are keeping tabs on Postecoglou, with Pro League runners-up Al-Ahli eyeing a potential replacement for Matthias Jaissle. Al-Ahli are understood to be looking at Postecoglou as a possible target should highly rated German coach Jaissle leave for RB Leipzig this summer. Jaissle led the club to an AFC Champions League triumph in May when they defeated Kawasaki Frontale in the final, with a team featuring Ivan Toney, Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Edouard Mendy. The 37-year-old has now been tipped to return to Europe and was previously linked with the West Ham job before Graham Potter's appointment. Al-Ahli reportedly pay the Jaissle £9.6million-a-year, which would make him the third highest paid manager in the Premier League. Postecoglou received a £5million payoff from Spurs after his sacking, along with a £2million bonus for winning the Europa League and qualification for next season's Champions League in Bilbao. He has previously worked in Asia when he was at Yokohama F Marinos in Japan and won the J1 League prior to winning the title with Celtic. 3 He was sacked at Spurs exactly two years after his appointment, with the Aussie delivering on his promise of winning a trophy in his second season. Spurs players paid tribute to Postecoglou following his sacking, with captain Son Heung-min leading the way on social media. Ange Postecoglou's BEST Press Conference Moments Centre-back Van de Ven also branded his brutal axing as a 'strange decision' while away on international duty with the Netherlands this week. Postecoglou left Spurs having won 47 of his 101 matches in all competitions, but did lose a staggering 34 of his 76 Premier League games. 3

Australia on the ropes in World Test Championship final after Smith injury, Markram ton
Australia 's golden run in global finals is all but over as South Africa close in on a landmark World Test Championship title at Lord's. In a dramatic decider that's had multiple twists a day, a brilliant Aiden Markram century, in an unbroken 143-run stand with hobbling captain Temba Bavuma (65no), means South Africa need just 69 runs with eight wickets in hand on Saturday to seal a famous victory. Set 282 to win, the Proteas piled on 0-119 in the final session on Friday to be 2-213 - already the highest total of the match - by stumps on day three. The first two days were dominated by bowlers as 28 wickets tumbled, but the pitch flattened out during glorious sunny weather in London. Australia's last defeat in an ICC final came back in 2010 when they lost to England in the T20 World Cup decider. Since then, Australia have won two ODI World Cups (2015 and 2023), a T20 trophy, and the 2023 WTC decider against India at The Oval. Since the first World Cup back in 1975, Australia's record in global finals is 8-3. 'We understand the magnitude of the task,' Australia assistant coach Daniel Vettori said, refusing to give up on the seeming 'mission impossible'. 'But it is a task that the group has probably done at times throughout the last three, four, some of them, five, six, even longer years. 'There's an appreciation of how well Bavuma and Markram have batted to put all that pressure back on us. 'To get one of them (before stumps) may have given us that optimism. 'It's going to be a real challenge on Saturday.' Markram's eighth Test century - and only his second outside of South Africa - has him poised to become a true Proteas hero. It would be fitting if Markram (102 no) could lead them to the glory, having captained the Proteas' first under-19 World Cup win in 2014. South Africa's one and only senior ICC title came back in 1998 when they lifted the Champions Trophy. Since then, they have endured numerous painful misses in the latter stages of ODI and T20 World Cups, often against Australia. But the trajectory of this WTC final changed once Smith put down Bavuma when the Proteas skipper was on just two. Wearing a helmet while standing closer in slips than normal, the former Australia captain put down a regulation chance off Mitchell Starc that would have had South Africa at 3-76. Smith immediately left the field in agony, later revealed to be a compound fracture of the little finger on his right hand. The 36-year-old will take no further part in the match and is in serious doubt to play in Australia's upcoming three-Test tour of the West Indies. If South Africa create history, it would equal the second-highest successful chase in a Test at Lord's, tied with England's 282 against New Zealand back in 2004. In 1984, West Indies, in their pomp, successfully chased 342 for the loss of just one wicket against England at the famous ground. Bavuma, who had the pro-South African crowd singing his name, has battled a hamstring injury he suffered when sprinting for a quick single. The 35-year-old received medical attention before and during the tea interval, with the captain even considering not returning after the break, but he batted on while limping as he ran between the wickets. Evergreen quick Starc (2-53) has claimed both of South Africa's second-innings scalps, backing up an important knock on Friday morning. Starting day three of their second innings 8-144, Australia's lower-order lasted 119 minutes and added another 78 in a sign of how much easier batting had become. No.11 Josh Hazlewood (17) hung in there for 53 balls and was the last player out on the stroke of lunch. Starc (58no), batting at No.9, finished as Australia's top-scorer of the innings ahead of wicketkeeper Alex Carey (43). He faced more balls (136) than any other Australia batter during an innings in this Test, even more than Steve Smith's 112 for his 66 on day one. Star Proteas quick Kagiso Rabada (4-59) finished with match figures of 9-110 after he destroyed Australia with 5-51 in the first innings to put his name on the Lord's honour board for a second time. 'It would have been nice to get a 10-for, but I'd rather a win than a 10-for,' Rabada said at lunch. It appears as if he'll get his wish.
