I have just rang Foxtel to make a complaint about Ed commentating on the replays.

Got a charming young lad who sympathised with my plight.

Was told to Email Feedback@fox sport.com.au and all feedback will be replied to or

go to their facebook page....Foxsport/aus.....If many people complain...they will change it.

I to wanted to keep this taped game but will be ditching it if this afternoons replay is still the Eddie version

I will email them now.

    I have emailed them and commented on their Facebook page on sunday morning and have had no response. I don't expect to get one either. Completely insulting.

    If you have a smartphone download the Foxtel Guide app - you can hit record from wherever you are as long as you and the foxtel box are connected to the internet

    They listened to us!! They have ditched Ed, 5 o'clock replay is now just the normal woeful commentary team

    Yoo Hoo we did it ! Stuff Eddie and stuff Collingwood !

  • Quote

    I only changed to Ed during the game every now and again.

    It was ridiculously childish, whining about the umpiring and the booing when we were kicking for goal.

    I felt embarrassed for them.

  • Quote

    I would have thought Ed himself would have pulled it. Surely he is embarrassed by that performance.

    Daicos was O.k and at least tried to be rational. left Melbourne alone and just talked about Collingwood.

    Tony Shaw should never see the inside of a commentary box again. He was boring, ranting, objectionable and by my count (I didn't really) thought the free kick count should have been 68 to 0. He was terrible

    Peter Hellier hadn't done any homework for the job and thought he might get by with his casual wit, and clearly didn't. Had one joke repeated 7 times about the "Straunie" pocket.

    I watched the last quarter and a half of the Press Red replay on Foxtel yesterday and loved it. It was gold when all they could do each time we had a shot for goal was go 'miss...miss'.

    I did also watch the full replay with the normal commentary on AFL TV last night. There's a lot of love for Jesse, Maxy and Angus Brayshaw from the commentators. Vanders gets the big tick too.

    The best part about the miss miss miss thing was that it worked 3 or 4 times, then the captain steps up and goes boom! and shows them how it's done. Sorry fellas, it's not Cotchin, Jones doesn't miss those.

    Make that the normal woeful commentary team plus Huddo.

    EDIT: For me it was always a non-issue, since I record all our games and then delete them after we’ve lost. This week there was no need though, since we won.

  • Quote

    Even Huddo sounds brilliant. I have done the Eddie thing which ranges from tedious to occasionally funny to mostly crappy. The normal commentary is a breath of fresh air. Congrats to those who heavied Fox.

    Replaying the Melbourne vs Collingwood game in the lead to Roos vs Buckley on 360 is a good move. I don’t usually watch these Monday night shows, but I might do the rounds this week. I’m prepared for a lot of Richmond coverage though….

    So funny little thing for them to set up, but not impressed that their first replay available after the match had "red for ed" commentary. Have it during the match, and then advertise the replay for the week but all other replays should've had the proper commentary.

    The reason why I'm not happy about it is that it was the replay I've recorded to watch. Ah well, winners are grinners and Eddie can please himself!

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
