Radio Commentary Movements

Being a Hunt fan is sign of poor judgement. The man is so disconnected from reality and the broader Australian public that it is frightening. There isn't enough sorbent extra soft in the world to wipe away the shyte that spews from his mouth.

Was kind of looking forward to the choice of all stations. Oh well....

Just confirmed on 3AW that Rex has gone to MMM. I guess that means BT is taking his spot on 3AW.

I've always listened to 3AW because I like Rex and Dennis Commetti.

But I can't stand BT. I think I'll switch to MMM now.

I will never listen to anything Mr Hunt is on, he is the worst commentator going around. All I want to hear is the footy, the game, a detailed description of the play itself, who is playing well, who is out coaching the other coach etc none of the other rubbish this fella gets up to.

ABC has a no-nonsense approach. They give a detailed description. They don't have as many ads in my opinion.

Local calls are good. Interstate calls of games are poor particularly in SA and WA. Use SEN as a back up.

Cant stand Rex and MMM's coverage is a boofhead's delight (even more so next year)

If I'm unfortunate enough to have to listen to the radio (i.e. in the car), in Tassie one of the local stations broadcasts the MMM feed. If we're really, really lucky we'll also get an ABC feed as well, but usually it's MMM or nothing.

Needless to say, I'm devastated Hunt is moving.

Latest is 3AW is trying to lure Tim Lane. If that occurs, I might actually listen to 3 Awful Wireless.

Ironic how 3AW allowed that self serving perpetual court attendee to ridcule Tim Lane as boring (re Tobin Brothers) years ago.

I think "movement" is a great word to associate with Hunt's commentary.

I wont visualise it though

Disaterous news. Hate Rex, hate 3AW, am driven to murder by the glacial pace of the ABC call and am generally unconvinced by SEN (though Tim Gossage should be thrown into the sea).

AW it is by default, but Taylor won't be anywhere near as amusing as on Triple M. Maybe Rex will do the Mitch Thorp "last chance" thing and reign it in a bit. If he adapts his style and is a success he could prolong his career - otherwise he's gorn.

The most distressing news is that Hamish McLachlan is being groomed as the chief caller. God help us all.

SEN is ok, can't stand that Tim Gosage over in WA.

edit: LOL, Supermercado and I think alike re: Gosage, posting the same thoughts..

Ha Ha ! All the people who hate Rex and were previously listening to Most Moronic Murmurings , tough ti77ies. At least Rex tried to liven up, often absolutely boring, contests. Brian Taylor is OK but his fellow commentators are a boorish menagerie.

Betcha MMM ratings increase!

i love the bristle man. him Garry, James, Spud and the Chief make me laugh so much when they're in the same box. I can see why people find them annoying though as often there is a lot of mucking around and not a lot of game coverage. I'm interested to see how rex slots in, but i won't stop listening to triple m. 3aw and sen are my quick flick stations to get updates at the breaks, but i only listen in the car, and the rest of the time i'm at a dees game or watching it on tv.

    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
