You bet you wouldn't (and other plays on lines he says far too often).

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

    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.

    i cant watch league teams anymore with brereton hosting he is hopeless but other than that im happy with the channel AFL 360 is the best show

    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.

    Too much (any) Dwayne Russell.

  • Quote

    Down with Dwayne Russell. Up with Anthony Hudson. Can't get enough of him.

    The Good:

    AFL 360 / Gerard Whateley

    The Couch / Gerard Healy

    Anthony Hudson

    Jason Dunstall

    Paul Roos

    Mark McClure

    The Bad:

    Tony Shaw

    Alastair Lynch

    Danny Frawley

    Liam Pickering

    The Horrendous:

    Dwayne "Super Goal" Russell

    Dermott "Can't make a simple comment without waffling on and mentioning himself at least three times so that he sounds more intelligent than he is" Brereton

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    I watched it live after battling the barbitch from Pre-Tentiousness. she is a man hater I'm sure..

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

    Go free to Air... Yeah Yeah.

    Did anyone think Robbo was smashed on 360 last night? He seemed to be slurring heavily. Too many afternoon froffies at the TAB I think.

    I've heard a few people say that, I just think it's the way he talks.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
