My favourite was during the first qtr "This contest could go one of two ways."

Straight to the 'Commentary Gems' thread with that one!

    Dwayne is hard to listen to at the best of times, his love of Port Adelaide and Geelong is equal only to his hatred of Melbourne.

    Today, you could hear the tears rolling down his cheeks and the croak in his voice with every Melbourne goal got louder and louder. After Garlett kicked one of his many goals he proclaimed "dagger to the heart!" He was of course referring to himself.

    Well Dwayne, to show there are no hard feelings despite all this I will be sending you a small gift in the mail.

    Thats a funny lookin "up yours" finger Client!

    Not sure he will get it though.

    Dwayne is no good. That's agreed. In fact he's toxic.

    But Sandy Roberts, who is normally inoffensive even if he cannot differentiate between Gawn and Spencer, got up my nose with his repeated under playing of Watts' efforts.

    Watts' handpass sets up a goal - Roberts says "he can't get through".

    Watts sends a smart centering kick to the top of the goal square and Neal-Bullen goals - Roberts calls it as Watts missing.

    It was repeated and it was as if he was determined to maintain a negative story about a player because that's what he thinks "the story" is about Watts. Just like, when SJ received a soft 50m penalty for the Cats' first goal Sandy and others start salivating about SJ kicking eight! (Good luck with that.)

    As I am still guttered by the loss to the Sainters, I was not going to watch the Geelong game.

    Dam you Demonlanders as I now have to watch the game so I can also mock a guy called Dwanye the Pain!

    As Melbourne FC haters should all be mocked and humiliated. Its our civic duty.

    I think the biggedt stuff up was on Channel Nine last night saying that the Cats beat Melbourne in Corey Enrights 3ooth game. Did we lose the protest ???

    The amount of Ex Footballers turned "expert" commentators is alarming.

    Queens Birthday Match:

    Example 1.

    Players walking to position -

    Tim Watson "Jetta going to Elliot, that's surprising. I thought Garlett would have."

    Example 2

    Brayshaw avoids Varcoe and kicks a goal on none preferred.

    Nick Maxwell "Varcoe needs to be better there, he should have known Brayshaw was a left footer"

    'On the couch' has been ruined by Brown and Dunstall. The viewer wants to be educated with strong & controversial views. Rather than "back in my day Jase"

    In saying that, I'm looking forward to watching them all tonight.

    Dunstall is great. Don't mind Brown either. The rest are hopeless though.

  • Quote

    Jonathan Brown is setting a dangerous precedent of being constructive, informed, even handed and even encouraging of the dees. Surely that's not permissible.

  • Quote

    Brown is good game day, but on the couch and pre games etc, he is very wooden and over thinks things.

    Game day he just speaks about what is going on.

    I've hated figjam for a considerable time so it's comforting to know I'm not alone. The thing about Dwayne is you just know he'd be a prize fockhead outside of his job.

    He probably said Garland.

    The Maxwell one sounds very Maxwell-like though. Against the Doggies when Fitzpatrick played a blinder he said "The MCC are chanting Fitzgerald's name. Fitzy Fitzy"

    3 minutes in to the second half

    "cut off by Enright! It's shaping as a nice story for Enright, just playing their way back in, with him being one of the stars, he's been good again today..although...he's just given it away to Howe"

    the disappointed fall in Dwayne's voice matched the sigh of the crowd

    beautiful

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
