Now I need to know if I'm the only one who gets seriously frustrated with Brian Taylor's commentating. Last nights game between West Coast and Hawks, I couldn't believe how many ridiculous comments he'd make, totally irrelevent to football. I'm all for a good, rounded commentator, but seriously annoying! I was sure Richo was getting frustrated with him, right from before the game when BT contradicted him a couple of times, then during the game when Richo made a good point about forwards marking with arms outstretched giving a chance of a free kick, BT just couldn't get it and would just mock him instead.

Cometti? Mcaveney? even Sandy Roberts, where are you?

It's like he's trying recreate what he had on Triple M and is failing miserably.

The other commentators aren't interested in engaging in his byplay.

He gets the odd chuckle out of me but by and large he is an arrogant [censored] whose become worse over time. Richo was undestandably getting annoyed with the way BT would treat him like an idiot when he was making legitimate observations.

What I will say is that, at least he's accurate. I'm watching my cousin's son play (Luke Parker) and of course, want him to do well. So far, Commetti has called him Kieran Jack 4 times. Just gone half time.

Disgraceful was Billy on Triple M today. Kept making the bloody 'Melbourne need to be loud, go number nine, go Dees *clap*' in the first half when we were garbage, then in the 3rd when we got a run on and the roars went up with the shocking umpiring it was like we were nonexistant!

BT is quite entertaining and he was giving reasonable assessments of what Melbourne had to do to stay in the game. If you want sledging dressed up as commentary try Mark Maclure and to a lesser extent Stan Alves on ABC when the dees are down, they really go to town.

Darcy was worse last night. He called Gysberts about 100 times when he meant McKenzie. Now it's fine the first time, but eventually you'd think you'd get it right. Richo was probably the best of the commentators last night, he actually added some fresh ideas. It seems Maxwell's main job was to validate that Scott Watters and Mark Neeld both coached at Collingwood and that StKilda like dropping men behind the ball. Makes you wonder if as a current player he will ever add anything new.

BT got off to a pi$spoor start pre match when he introduced a miked up Melbourne captain as Jackson Trengove and about a minute later as Jack Trengrove.....i dont mind BT's over the top commentary, but that is pretty disrespectful and ordinary stuff really.

Edit: spelling

All the commentators talk way too much anyway . That would be ok if it were radio .

I used to like that red button you could press on foxtel . Mute the commentators and just hear the crowd noise . We don't need commentators when we're at the games . I don't know why stations insist on the "play by play" commentary . Surely they realise we can see what's going on .

I believe we need less "commentary" and more in depth and behind the scenes stuff . For instance we often have no idea who is in the forward line . A widescreen view would be better as well . The coverage of Soccer is generally done a lot better . Not that I'm a big fan of that sport .

BT at least adds a bit of colour and humour .

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
