Hughesy sprays the Dees

Featured Replies

I though Meatloaf at the GF was funnier than Dave Hughes.

No, Meatloaf was just painful.

 

Hughes is like a lot of the modern comedians to quote the comedic giant John Cleese "they have developed comedy for people without a sense of humour"

Oh what the hell, I'll bite.

When/where did Cleese say this?

 

All good fun. Great to see our players having some belly laughs. I wonder iif there were some blue bits edited out?

In his book "So Anyway", he is not a fan of the modern comedian(s), neither am I, the hype that surrounds Wil Anderson, Peter Hellier Dave Hughes etc astounds me,, about the only 2 I can live with are Adam Hills and Jimoein

Australian comedians are not that funny in general.

Most of them are cringe worthy to listen to.

This bloke was pretty good.

Might have to pick it up to read the context. It's disappointing to hear such a pretentious line come from such a brilliant mind. Humour, like most pursuits, is not one size fits all. To cast a certain section as "without a sense of humour" because they don't conform to an ideal of what is funny is inane.

Some brands of humour don't require much thought. Dave Hughes certainly falls into that category. That doesn't make him a lesser comedian because some people deem him unfunny. I find Adam Hills to be extremely plain in a comedic sense, but I'm not going to question his following simply because I personally don't find him funny. That's just being pompous. There isn't a comedian on the planet that is universally declared to be funny.

Like every profession in the public eye, the greater your profile, the more people there are to knock you down.

Some precious folk here, not Monty Python but definitely good for a chuckle.

The only Aussies I have ever found funny are the Working Dog guys

Wish they did more stuff

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
