Skills, Umpires or Dwayne Russell

Featured Replies

 

3,3 and 3

 

Umpires = Disgusting

SENIOR players turning the ball over time and time again (we're the ones in the red, ladies!) = Terrible

Dwayne Russell = Press Mute


Worst display of umpiring i've seen in a very long time.

And i'm positive Dwayne Russell and Alistair Lynch must secretly barrack for St.Kilda; that or just anti-Melbourne.

Terrible X 3

I think my TV is lucky there isn't a VB stubbie right in the guts of it.

By the sound of it, I'm glad I dont have foxtel and didnt have to listen to DW. Though, listening to the MMM QLD broadcast was not that flash either.

 
Rate from 1 to 3:

1 = Worst

2 = Disgusting

3 = Terrible

You should know by now NEVER to digest anything from Foxtel commentary. They are down right just terrible.

However, I did hear one D.Russell saying, "1st is playing last, but you would never know it, judging by the way the demons are playing".

Ill give him a point for that at least.

Just to highlight how much Dwayne Russell clearly hates Melbourne.

At one point he mentioned that Melbourne had won six of nine last quarters this, but this was because Melbourne were often out of the game by half time* and the opposition had stopped trying.

However, after scanning the records I found that there are only three games where Melbourne were in any real trouble at half time, but even then no game was over by then.

I'm not here to deny that Melbourne have been poor this year, but he clearly lied to suit his agenda.

*He mentioned this same statistic a second time, only this time he said three-quarter time instead of half-time after realising his own stupidity.

Yeah but he also said at one stage " Ray runs toward the 50, in pursuit is Jones, Ray looks behind to see who it is and kicks the goal and embarrasses him. Sorry guys could you please explain WHAT IS THAT ?

It really is sad that one man hates a club so much, did a Dees supporter hang shyt on you at school?

News flash Dwayne.....

IN FIFTY YEARS 2009 SEASON WILL BE FORGOTTEN, AND HOPEFULLY YOUR COMMENTARY WILL BE TOO.

You need to be sacked, poor, poor man

Yeah, it's no secret Dwayne Russell dislikes Melbourne. He gave me the shits tonight, I'll tell you. There seem to be quite a few going around at the moment.


The double was that the worst of Duh-wayne was the way he apologised for the umpires, as in Bate is ridden in the back across the boundary line - a clear infringement - and Duh-wayne justifies the lack of a free by saying he "played for it". Twice he accused Davey of "playing for it" yet ignored Reiwoldt looking to the umpires for hand outs and the soft gives to Kosi.

As for the umpires - evening up their stats in the last quarter with one dodgy free to Bate and having a Jamar mark counted as a free was as lame as it gets. And calling play on to 20 metre kickins? Who is maggot number five? I've got some land I want to sell him.

Yeah but he also said at one stage " Ray runs toward the 50, in pursuit is Jones, Ray looks behind to see who it is and kicks the goal and embarrasses him. Sorry guys could you please explain WHAT IS THAT ?

I heard that in a highlights package on the 5th quarter last night. That was just crap.

Whilst I'm glad I didn't have to listen to DR, the 774 commentators weren't that great either. There were plenty of players I hardly heard last night who racked up disposals (Geary is one of them). Jamar got little credit for the ruckwork, PJ got more. Rivers got more negatives about his kicking than positives.

Can we include Aaron Lord in this thread - what has he got against MFC

We had 2 free kicks in the first 2 and a half quarters, they had 12.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
