Did anyone else hear on the commentary Dwayne Russell defend the mere 21,000 crowd that turned up for the game at AAMI on Sunday. He said something like it was a good turnout for an Easter sunday. I almost choked. I wonder if he would have defended a similar turnout if the game were a Melbourne home game at the MCG. No, it would have been dismissed as further proof that we should be killed off or some such garbage.

played up syliva's report outrageously too

I heard that and I thought what he said and the way he responded was ****ing disgraceful.

I am glad he was inflicted with the name "Dwayne" from birth and I'd probably had a chip on my shoulder too with a bestowing like that.

We were at the game and some of their supporters were a bit surprised so many turned up on an Easter Sunday, their worst fears was that it would only be about 15000, another point for us spoilt Melburnians, to sit in the grandstand cost us $37.50 each. Their financial woes made the front page of the local newspaper on Monday.. And we were both astonished that when Port stalled or kicked backwards they actually got booed........strange state of affairs there and we think we have problems

I actually wonder about posters who get steamed up by Dwayne's comments. Throw away hot air pitched to a certain demographic.

If you dont like him change stations.

I wasted a bit of time getting annoyed about Dwayne when he first appeared on Fox Footy. I quickly worked out that he is worst commentator in the business and I'm yet to hear anything that makes me think otherwise since. Now whenever I'm forced to endure his commentary, I simply bear this in mind any time he says anything, and all my annoyance disappears.

Errrr...it was Foxtel Live boofhead.

Not a matter of changing stations.

Duh-waynes comments are actually pretty damaging in the context of our struggling club lacking respect. It's not just him. We seem to have plenty of enemies in the media (and few friends) who compound the negative perceptions of our club. You might not think that matters but it sure doesn't help.

Like I said Duh-wayne appeals "to a certain demographic." :rolleyes:

I did not realise it was far worse than I thought.

Try to change the T..V.. station if it upsets you too much tulip. Otherwise get your Mum to do it.

I can't stand Russell and have no doubt that he has no regard whatsoever for the MFC. He was a crap 50 game footballer that got lucky in the media through an untimely death. He's also a South Australian with a chip on his shoulder. Most South Australians don't like 10 clubs in Victoria, so it's only natural that our club would be on his radar. Unfortunately, we as a club give ammunition to pricks like Russell. Hopefully that's started to change.

That said, he didn't offend me with his commentary on Sunday. He was more balanced than I expected.

Sunday, I thought Dwayne was less aggravating than usual, although he did slip in a narky mention about Melbourne winning last quarters being "fool's gold" and doubled that up on The Winners.

Danny Frawley was worse. No wonder he was a dud spud as a coach, he is a terrible communicator.

He was dreadful on Sunday.

Other Frawleyisms here and here.

Dwayne is a dwickhead!

He is a no-name in a profession occupied by past greats and champions. He is very insecure and makes ridiculous and controversial comments to get noticed. Fortunately it doesn't work too often.

WILSON! Nah Dwayne's the nerdy guy next to the WILSON guy. Man that ad is old, I can't believe it's resurfaced.

It will be one of life's pleasures to stick it up people like Dwayne when we get competitive again. He is without doubt the most arrogant commentator going around and he treats Melbourne with no respect whatsoever. If it wasn't for the MFC he wouldn't have lived the life he has...there wouldn't be an AFL! So perhaps the next time he shoots off his mouth about putting an end to our club, he should think again and wonder just where he'd be if he couldn't make a living from Australian Rules Football. It's people like Dwayne that provide yet another excuse for our executives to get tough and start trying to flex some muscle again. We shouldn't be pushed around by these lightweights!

He's got company. Rex, Tony Shaw, Robert Walls, Malcolm Blight.............photo finish for worst.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
