Press Red for Ed

Featured Replies

Are people serious when they are saying that Eddie is bias with his commentating and that he shouldn't be allowed to do Collingwood games?!
IT'S PRESS RED FOR ED, which means it's meant to be unashamedly supportive of the the pies, to give the viewer the feel (if they are pies fans) of watching the game with their mates etc.

Perks of being the biggest club in the league.

No problem with that, but do you think it should be forced on all people who want to watch the replay, especially those who don't support the Pies? All replays are listed as the Ed version.

Fox Footy are idiots.

I've enjoyed all of these in the past, not as much as today of course.

The point is it's a Collingwood broadcast, it's meant to be one eyed.

The Richmond version with KB was hilarious last year when they blew a 7 goal lead v a the Kangaroos.

Every team should get a go.

Yeah they shouldn't replay this version every time.

Their walkout at the end was gold, and seemed genuine and spontaneous. The one they did yesterday was clearly orchestrated.

I agree that other teams should get a run.


Now everything is the umps fault. Hahahahahaha

Eddie at half time - "We've let Melbourne have an 11 point lead!" HAHAHAHAHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :roos:

It was a Collingwood Eddie commentary session, of course it was totally biased. I'd love to see a Melb one when we win. It would be hilarious.

so how the hell do you turn it off then ( thats if you can)

he is so bloody bad, but now i understand thank you

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

I couldn't watch the game yesterday and am currently being forced to watch it without any choice about Red Eddie and the other clowns. I've phoned Foxtel (no complaints allowed on weekends apparently) and tried to complain electronically but they don't allow complainants enough words to say anything coherent. I'll have to wait till tomorrow but I'm furious. There's some sh*t you get used to living in the country, but this is one dunny too many for me.

Press Red for Ed is self-indulgent and undisciplined. Looked at another way, it's childish. Shouldn't those people be above that? What happened to the idea that the commentary should be straight and objective. If I was a Foxtel subscriber I'd go off my nut thinking that my subs were paying for Eddie's gang's tripe.

Having said that I turn off the commentary on TV for any game that I watch. And listen to the radio if there's no other option.

"What is this, gridiron??"

lol

mind you now I know why , its funny

listening to some of the quotes

Don't know why people are complaining. This is the best replay I've ever watched. And we get to listen to Eddie whine for the entire week.


Did Ed go red is the real question. I love it when he gets frustrated / angry and his head turns into a beetroot. I half expect him to explode one day when it is suggested that Collingwood might not be the greatest team in the history of world sport.

Are you joking? Talk about the age of outrage lol

This is hilarious, Eds losing his [censored], and replaying Ed press red whatever it is is like a constant replay of embarrassment for mcchins, love it

Was considering starting a new thread for this, but it might as well go here:

If we had a "press red for dees" match on Foxtel, who would we as supporters want the commentary team to be?

So far I've only come up with... Garry Lyon, David Schwarz... Dr. Turf? Gets a bit thin about there.

You'd need some comedy in there, so maybe Hamish Blake or Ryan Shelton?

Rob Sitch probably wouldn't stoop to it.

It would be great to have a Max Gawn on the field and another in the commentary box.


Listening to this is farkin hilarious.

Nearly every call is high from a Melb player or holding the ball against a Melb player etc

It's very entertaining but only cause we won.

Would be unbearable if we lost to listen to these bozos.

Everyhing is a disgrace or an outrage nowadays. And that's the just the right wing's opinion.

There might be some contractual issues, especially with Lyon.

Ox definitely if you could get him. First picked.

I'd love to have Mike Sheahan in there. To actually hear what he's like when barracking would be priceless.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
