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?

  • Quote

    Broooooce was, they had BT and Darcy for post game shite.

    rjay I too changed over to Fox after a few mins.

    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.

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
