Eddie doing a Rex Hunt impression when Langdon? kicked in straight to Jetta. 'yeah,but,yeah,but,yeah,but'. Yes eddie, yibbada-yibbada - it's all over.

Are you joking? Talk about the age of outrage lol

I'll forgive you for not knowing what I had to put up with in the 80s and 90s from commercial tv. Sneer if you want, but this is hardly an isolated incident for me.

Ed said "we r 21 points down and need to kick 4 to win the game"

Really that is genius commentary from big ed.

Yeah I'd love to see Ox, Titus, Sheehan and Lyon do a press red for, but prob safer to wait a few years til we have a rough idea we are going to win that game.

Dr Turf would be brilliant

Ian Henderson for a bit of "cred" !! :)

Hendo is the most bias one eyed Demon supporter ever! Classic.

Just record the game live, if we lose delete it from your planner. Doesn't everyone do this?

A completely common sense approach. One that I sadly can't support because I've convinced myself that we never win when I record the game live. That's only one of about 37 footballing superstitions that I'm cursed with.

For what it's worth, Hudson called the actual game and was excellent. I found him annoying in the early years, but I reckon he captures the moment very well.

Need more professional comentators like him and Whately, than ex footy player boofheads, or try-hards like Basil and Hamish who try to fit in with the jocks.

I, for one, will be contacting Foxtel, The AFL, and the MFC tomorrow to complain. It is offensive that every replay of the game this week has this rubbish as commentary. Imagine if this was done to Collingwood on one of their wins

Agree, but probably not in the bailiwicks of AFL and MFC.

Go hard on Foxtel, but…..

Needs it's own thread. I've been supersticiously wearing this stupid red and blue striped shirt every weekend because it was obviously the only reason we beat GC in the first round.

No need to rub it in Nasher.

I don't mind Derm. He does dribble a lot, but from time to time does have points of interest to raise. He knows the game I think, you just need to see through the waffle that intersperses it.

Funnily enough I reckon Eddie is a better commentator than most of the idiots on TV (when he is not doing the red-ed nonsense). Not being an ex-player he just describes what is happening rather than having folksy chats recalling old playing days, clubs we have known and bleeding obvious tactics like the others do.

I’m in the “Derm’s not that bad” camp, but this time he was definitely more on the inane side.

Just watching the Fox replay now.

Absolutely disgusting commentary by Eddie, Shaw and that non-entity 'comedian' ?Strauney??

Just plain barracking - we, we ,we, they, they, they !!!!

Ruins any opportunity to fully enjoy the victory.

What a disgrace.

PS: still in first quarter - will maybe enjoy their grief at the end.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
