BT is costing Ch 7 big time in terms of numbers. Their complaints log book is up 24% on 2011. He is the master of bumbling-isms and wowee-isms which have alienated many viewers. Those that sing his praises are the minority and his long term future is...

    Here's hoping for a good coverage from 7 today. Pray they don't lose the ball and that they give away all those strange camera angles. Probably asking for too much.

    I thought they always went for the same footy?

    seriously Bruce should be retired. He just comes out with the same crud weekly.

    I wish i had access to Roy & H.G.

    Remember Mike Williamson. Now there was a man who knew how to call a game.

    Superb.

    absolutely, WYL.

    In those days we had a few non footballer callers, they were very good. It wasn't abut Them, it was about the bloody game.

    Lucky to switch across to Fox after the game and get some good game analysis and inside interviews from Roos.

    I'm happy for Bate and Cale to get another year as long as BT's contract is terminated.

    Thank god for Fox....I never thought I'd hear myself say that.

    I thought Brooooce was calling today?

    Having watched the whole season in hd, I was delighted to watch the most important game of the year in standard def. what a disgrace.

    Yep someone should let channel 7 know that their great camera angles from behind the player taking a set shot are pointless if you can't actually see the footy because of their crappy SD broadcast.

    I doubt you'd see the footy in HD either (but I agree that the football should be broadcast in HD) because of the ball blending into the background. And it's made worse when the camera and the ball are both moving. Sometimes I only know its a goal because the ad starts. I certainly don't actually see the goal itself being scored.

    How bad was that, couldn't see the ball at all with that stupid shot.

    As for HD, well that is a joke.

    Yes i was always taught to keep a camera still when panning.

    Sky cam makes me feel ill.

    I wish Ch 7 would listen.

    I'm amazed that people don't understand this is clearly part of an agreement with Toyota to show their logo.

    The fact that no-one notices the logo (I didn't) suggests that companies plastering their names everywhere doesn't really work.

    Lewis Martin the 7 boss is on with KB after 10 this morning and taking calls. Will be interesting to hear the spin he puts on their poor coverage of football. If he's smart he will listen to what the fans are saying and take action, let's hope so.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
