Recently, particularly tonight on Channel 7 the ability for Bruce and Dennis to continually label the wrong player becomes laughable. I know its a tough gig to know all 44 however the money they're on you'd think they could do their job correctly?

Young Isaac Smith kicked his first goal, will go home and watch the tape and see he got labelled Xavier Ellis. Maybe I'm looking too into it but seems to be occuring more and more.

Bruce is remarkably bad at getting not only players names wrong, but misinterpreting the umpiring decisions too. "The umpire has paid too high there, not sure about that one..." When it was shepherding off the ball or something completely unrelated.

You're not wrong. Dennis made several blunders, a few times McAvaney had to correct him.

That's what sucks about the new TV deal - channel 7's broadcast is awful. Channel 9 had much better coverage than both 7 and 10.

Channel 9 haven't done it for ~5 years. IMO they all have their -/+'s.

I liked the late Clinton Grybas' commentary. Wouldn't he have loved the new TV rights and Foxtel's re-introduction of an AFL Channel. The ol' White Line Fever may have got a gig. Still might..

Bring back Lou Richards & Peter Landy, or "Bluey Adams and Jack Edwards...now they knew how to commentate!!

Sandy Roberts & Ian Robertson, I used to love hearing their commentary. Hearing Sandy saying "Here comes the wizard!" still makes the hair stand up on the back of the neck.

Good if they could shut up about Black Caviar long enough to call a footy game.

At least Dwayne Russell wasn't involved.

Ian Robertson commentary out at Windy Hill in 1990 is a total classic. Suburban footy at its best. Darren Bennett taking screamers over Van der Haar!

Bruce waffles on like the game is still played at 1990 speeds. I'm glad foxtel have all games live cos I'll watch them over 7.

Even with Dwayne Russell, who is one of the worst callers, he at least has good special comments guys around him.

I like how Bruce and Tony Shaw say "Gee" a lot, like they are giving themselves time to think before they interject with some incredibly inane observation.

It's just disgraceful commentary, and I still can't fathom why the umpires are mic'd up.

...at least Kelly Underwood has been downgraded to boundary rider....

I'd rather her and Luke Darcy with Malcolm Blight on special comments forever rather than another game with Russell.

They were at it again today...Aussie was up 2 his second possession before Bruce noticed somebody must have been subbed off..and ffs at the same time the on screen graphics had Grimes OFF Wonaeamirri ON.....then it took them a full minute to do a player head count and then we get.... "Oh i think its Grimes"...."Yeah cant see him out there..oh Richo will know"..."Richo??"....5mins later we hear from Richo who says.. "cant see Grimes on the bench.....he must have gone straight to the rooms."

Good post Trengove. Bruce is an entertaining commentator when the footy's really exciting, and Cometti...well, he's just good at commentating.

I'll take Bruce and Dennis any day over Dwayne Russell or that muppet Matthew Campbell. His voice irritates the hell out of me.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
