Though I think Rick and Kelly have great chemistry, which makes them a good pair. You can hear the difference when Jason York or other replacements step in as well as they don't have the same jokey and fun chemistry Rick and Kelly have.

I think being married to the AGM also makes her job more difficult.
Needs to be impartial, needs to have a handle on what she can and cannot say, can't appear too overly critical.
Last night Rick mentioned Forberts injury history and she started talking and then had to catch herself because she started down a road of what kind of due diligence the flames had done on that injury.
iMO, neither Kelly or Cassie are 'good', but they are blowing the doors off what we had previously
It's hard for me to single out any one member of that team has being objectionably bad when the whole presentation is awful. Ball and Leslie are real standouts for bring good, but the rest of the game coverage is woeful.
If the picture quality is bad and we can't even get a decent replay, I guess I don't care about the in game colour commentary that I'm not really listening to anyway?
Better than Simmer is not a high bar, but at least we have moved on from that.
