Just watching the Fremantle game and why does BT hate us so much? Could not sound any less enthusiastic calling Melbourne games and loves to take little snipes at our players (Last quarter when Nicholson kicks the goal to put us 50 points up, he says 'The Dees just love it when a game is like this', not sure what other people think of that but to me he's saying we are just a bunch of downhill skiiers which may or may not be true but he says things like this every game).

Anyone else agree?

On this season alone he is right. We have been very much down hill skiers. That is what the consistency challenge is all about.

Our average winning margin is over 10 goals. But our average losing margin is also somewhere around 40-50 points i believe which is terrible.

When the gap closes between our best and worst and we become consistent with our effort then opinions will change. Until then, be prepared to keep hearing it...

I just finished watching the game, and I also squirmed when he said "the Dees love it when a game is like this". Pathetic and stupid comment from a group of commentators who couldn't have sounded more bored if they tried. I suppose all ex-players have a team or teams that they hate. Mark McClure (ABC or 3AW - I can't remember which) is the worst Melbourne hater. Called Moloney a C-grader at the start of the year. This from a bloke who was nothing more than gap-filler in a champion Carlton side, made to look good by a heap of stars like Jesalenko, Walls etc...

Without hearing it in context it's hard to say whether it was a slap aimed at us, but we do love it when the game is like that. If we play our style the way we want to we really hurt sides. Unfortunately we have a habit of falling apart if we are stopped from playing the game on our terms. I think as the side gets physically mature we will be able to impose our style on the game more and more and adapt better when it doesn't work.

Probably a fair comment even I find BT an insufferable toad.

[Guest 36DD]

BT is a peanut, just finished watching the replay, got our players wrong on so many occasions I lost count.

Wish he would go back to the nightshift on 927

[Deestroy All 14,266]

WOWWEEEEE

I agree with BT. I turned to my uncle and with a chuckle I said 'f.. we're front runners'.

Give us an interstate team and a decent start and back us by 60+ every time.

I don't see it as that much of a bad thing, why not beat up on these teams that come here and don't take us seriously?

I just can't wait until we can absorb pressure from a top Vic team at the G and pull out a win.

Maclure does dish it up to the Dees but he has been better this year, and so has Alves. I wouldn't exactly say Maclure was a C Grader I have memories of him as a brilliant high marking centre half forward, esp. in matches against melbourne. i think he was also an excellent big game player, these are just memories.

[Face Your Demons 175]

Who really cares what B Taylor thinks,or any other member of the press for that matter.

[The Big Ticket 94]

McClure was being nice there. He hates everyone.

BT's an oaf who no one takes seriously - he's not even worth a thread IMO.

I reckon he was a B-B+ player, but gee he is a negative, carping pain in the ar$e as a commentator. He is a less egotistical and slightly more mature Sam Newman in my opinion.

There is of course one way to shut them all up.

Start winning consistantly and start beating the better sides.

Then they will not have any ammunition.

We can then say "winners are grinners and BT and company can please themselves"

[Footynut 302]

Tbh I reckon BT is totally right looking at this season. That all can change if we win Friday night and then start to string a few against the grain performances together.

You can probably thank Danny Hughes.

Spot on. The Time has come for the team to perform in every game.

It has all been set up.

Yes they are still young, but so are lots of other sides.

Winning = Respect in AFL.

[Fork 'em 6,991]

Taylor has sniped us for years .

Players and supporters .

[Brayshaws' Helmet 143]

i mentioned this BT stuff on the Gerard Healey thread and nobody said anything.

I dont particularly care that he doesn't like us, but it's fairly obvious. At least when we are on 7, bruce and denis nearly blow their loads when we play well, makes for much more entertaining tv

HaHaHa, I don't listen to his station. I prefer 774, or sen, @ a pinch MMM.

[Kento80 83]

Brian Taylor's a spud. Nuff said!

[Longsufferingnomore 1,637]

A couple of weeks ago someone made a comment about the Mt Bulla ski lift pass on his car. BT is ego driven searching for the next headline.

McLure is a very good commentator. He doesn't talk in modern speak. just Straight & down to earth, tell it straight.

No room for pretences. Just honesty. No frills or sugar coating.

I actually don't mind MacLure either dee-luded. Might cop me a bit of derision on here, but hey, I said it. While I'm at it, I actually don't mind Robbo either. Wow, feels good to get those off my chest

[Harrisonrules 273]

Why take them seriously. The pies love it when the world hates them. Good teams are often hated. Get used to it. It lays ahead of us. Bring on the oposition. Let others hate us, we love the red and blue

McLure was a great footballer CHF. Just Effectiveness, No flash, Nil, just underrated effectiveness. Much of what he did went unnoticed as he didn't have great speed or overly tall but was a great workhorse and brought his more fancy teamates into the game and cleared their way for them.

He helped others to shine.

Most of all he helped his team WIN. Like I said, Effective.

[Harrisonrules 273]

I value anyone who has played and am interested in what they say. Others are just noise. I cann't believe how much I enjoy listening to Dermie, Lloydy,Leigh, Shawie, Roosie, Harf etc. Bartlett is too much of an AFL and rules committee man to enjoy and Walls is just too serious, but the greatest is THE OX FOLLOWED BY GARY. Other non players are just noise. Take themselves too seriously and trying to fulfil their own unsuccessful careers.
