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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded.
