Has anyone else noticed bruces voice when he gets excited by a passage or a goal? He gets his voice really low and adds in his best masculine growl, its hilarious. if you havn't noticed it, listen for it.

I notice it far too often, I struggle listening to him now.

...especially when it is one of his favourites like "Chaaaappppeeeeeeeeeee"

    But that's not the worst with Bruce "stuck in the cupboard in denial" McAveny (sp)

    The worst is he commentates like it's 1995 and he has time to babble on about utter shite while the play goes on.

    "Foot candy", just an example of where the commentary team trys too hard to supplement the entertainment with their own cleverness. commentary on the umpires throw in and sel f indulgent cross references - bristle, darce richo

    Could we have the afls version or roy and hg? A [censored] take call?

    I never tire of the couldabeens though accept that dates me and they dont call as such (except for ex cooda tony leonard)

    BT and Richo have this obsession with one of the pockets at Etihad, believing that shots on goal from there drift - or as they call it, "slide" - away from goal.

    Not sure how that works with a closed roof and no wind..

    But it leads to these ridiculous passages of commentary from BT where he says "and the ball goes out of bounds in the sliding quadrant of the ground."

    WTF ?/???

    Try explaining that nonsense to someone unfamiliar with the game.

    It's like watching the footy with a bunch a bunch of mates in your lounge room. Except they aren't mates and you wouldn't want them in your house for money.

    Won't Robbo's take in The Hun tomorrow be interesting? I loved the observation of Patrick Smith on SEN a couple of weeks ago about a Robinson article : " I thought to myself , this HAS to been written by James Hird himself , but then I thought , no , it can't be , Hird at least knows how to write ".

    A great Comettiism as a North player (can't remember who) had the ball and was run down and caught red handed - "not enough talk, apart from my good self".

    Permit me to take a little poke at my own profession:

    The media is always on the lookout for legal eagles to give opinions on prominent court cases. One of the most outspoken rent a lawyers has been barrister, Deakin University lecturer and social media commentator who has apparently carried out some legal work for the Bombers:

    Court ruling could shape James Hird's future at Essendon, says lawyer

    However, lawyer Martin Hardie, now a lecturer at Deakin University, believes Essendon and Hird should be "reasonably confident" of a favourable decision.

    Mark Maclure is the worst commentator. Absolutely hates melbourne. Whines and whinges like a girl.

    He doesn't hate Melbourne. He said on ABC A couple of weeks ago that quote- Melbourne supporters have suffered enough, and that the competition needs Melbourne. He did have a go at Roosy though for not going along to watch Casey play.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
