Skills, Umpires or Dwayne Russell



Recommended Posts


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.

I'm totally desensitised to Dwayne. He's easily the worst caller in the business, and I've grown so used to his nonsense that I just stopped hearing it some time ago.

2 and 2 for the others.

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 ?

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.

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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
