Press Red for Ed


Deestroy All

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
