I always took it as no commercials during regular play time ie siren to siren each qtr I can't understand why anyone would be worried about between qtr ads

Rhett, if you're still watching this thread the following sentence this page (http://www.foxtel.com.au/xbox/packages/default.htm?presel=pbtm) is a shocker: "Don’t add AFL now. For free^ AFL trail jus

Any danger of putting Dwayne up against a wall and shooting him? Would make a great one-off special.

Now that the channel is underway - I would be interested in Demonland posters thoughts on the commentary, the graphics and the shows.

Cheers

I don't think you are showing the Dees v Pies game enough :)

Commentary is the same old same old as far as I can tell - can anybody tell me what Hudson's background is... I know he has been around for a long time on FTA, but I am interested in how he got to where he is. I actually don't mind him and his nerdy cats supporting geeky ways...

The shows are much the same as I always remember them being, just a few new faces, but it seems that they all pretty much follow the same format as in the past.

Just don't have Alistair Lynch commentate on our games. Lacks credibility.

A few thoughts..

AFL 360 is great on all nights - particularly Gerard Whately (and Robert Murphy when he's on).

One the Couch is good as always.

Hudson was a good acquisiton, seems very unbaised and knowledgable - although I havent watched a Geelong game yet.

Dwayne Russel is awful to listen to - annoying voice, comments and general presense.

David King is decent, Lynch isnt.

Frawley is entertaining as always.

Those Eddie ads for EMT - hilarious! The guy is just so smarmy and sleezy.

Dwayne used to be my coach many years ago and he was a flogger back then.

Nothing's changed.

Tell your boss to get rid of him.

Otherwise, the channel is great.

Can someone tell Gerard Healy that there are other ways of saying "right now" than "at the present time." Saying it every now and again makes you sound smart. Saying only that makes you sound like a dumb person trying to sound smart. For future reference:

Right now

At the moment

At this stage

Currently

Going forward (probably avoid this one)

I'm sure there are tons of others, and introducing even one into Healy's vocabulary will make him twice as bearable for me to listen to.

Also, the word "horrendous" should be banned. It sounds like pointless grandstanding whenever I hear anyone say it.

Dwayne "FROM THE PAINT, THIS COULD BE FOR NINE!!!!!!!! Elects not to go for it. Gives it some shoe! Horrendous!" Russell needs to be retired immediately, or at the very least banned from all Melbourne games.

At the present time I find Alistair Lynch horrendous.

Except for the audio problems all day during the Roos, Dogs clash.

BTW, can't stand smug, arrogant Paul (Swannies this, Swannies that) Roos (biggest [censored] of all time)....poor old Ruciotto sounds like he's ready to cry and Brereton states the obvious.

David King is annoying.

Disappointed with foxtel, all matches live, dees vs hawks was not broadcast live, I watched it 9.30 Sunday morning!

I watched it live. It was probably a replay you watched.

Ah commentators They are so much better footballers since they have retired. Picking out players faults and being very critical of everything except the estabished stars who can do no wrong.

75% of football journalists and commentators are clueless. I am convinced that many general fans who watch a lot of the games know more than they do.

If I, and half the posters, don't know more about the modern game and current players then Danny Frawley I'll eat my hat.

3 weeks for 3 games and the barbitch doesn't want footy in her empty cocktail lounge.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
