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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
