My Favourite shout at the Telly...."Shut Up. Bruce"

I'm sick of the Too much analysis... pulling the game apart like flies pinned on a science cutting board.

let us get back to reactive footy with spontaneous inspiring football efforts & reactive humour & laughter ... tired of all this science in footy commentary.  let us be,,,  footy channels, or we'll turn off & go do something else.

I thought Ian Robinson was a great commentator and going right back.........Jack Edwards    They just called the play as it happened....Called the right players.........None of the 'Special Comments' men  explaining what happened 4 plays ago and what they should have done (dermi is the worst at that.)

here here Bossdog... I totally agree.

 

let the game get back to a spontaneous affair.

And from public life in general. 

Unfortunately these days what with digital HD TV and its slight delay, and digital radio or internet radio with bigger delays, it can be difficult to turn the TV volume off and listen to the radio commentary. 

This is easy fixed..

If you have Foxtel or a smart tv with usb recording.. You can pause the TV long enough to sync up your radio station of choice on a digital radio!

Between 1-5 (25 frames per sec)....seconds is the delay

done on purpose to stop exactly what you want to do!!


Let's face it - both television and radio commentary is mostly aimed as children and idiots. The number of good commentators and/or commentary teams is a bare fraction of the total number of commentators. There is simply not enough talent to cover all the broadcast outlets.

Oh yes i know you can do it. 

But the average viewer doesn't they just accept the delay. That is why the TV Stations do it

if the tv delay > radio delay then you are stuffed. you can't speed up the video

I wonder if you could use a digital radio and delay that feed instead.


Nobody work works for Channel 7.

Except Denis Cometti, as any Ex West Perth player must be good.

I think Sandy Roberts is on the money and very good, over the years he has been nothing but passionate when Melbourne games were on IMO!

Ox is good.Darcy is good,Eddie is good bar Pies games.

Commetti is an absolute [censored] of the highest order.I just dont like the way he adds in little snide comments all the time. (Done it for years)

Dermie over analyses games...but hes ok.

Macavaney is a moron

BT is a moron who antagonises Richo during games on purpose for ratings because Bt sucks at what he does.

Russell is rubbish.

Brayshaw makes me cringe when he talks...its like being forced to listen to a cat slowly dying..

All in all, Id take Ed,Darcey & Sandy Roberts as a team IMO.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
