Dwayne Russell has serious issues with MFC. His article in The Sunday Mail was over critical of MFC culture and recent history and he went as far as suggesting that Roos is wasting his time. Whilst our long term on field mediocrity may support his opinon, he failed to acknowledge that at least MFC is taking positive action by engaging the best credentialed and available coach along with the best available administration. His commentary today was B grade at best. He was over critical of Melb players and credited good moments for the Melb players to Freo taking it easy. His opinions are very rich for a guy who was part of a team who earned the label of "The Handbags" and for a bloke who was as soft as butter in 1984 SANFL GF when he was playing for a team that was supposed to be invincible only to be beaten by a team which came from 5th. Russell is an absolute [censored] with no credentials!

    Far and away the worst commentator. Such a patronising [censored]. At least guys like BT know they are buffoons, this guy thinks he is god's gift.

    And it's not just MFC supporters who dislike him, I genuinely think he should be let go.

    I don't think you'll find too many on this website that would rate him above waste of space/tool/biased/clueless

    I could elaborate if need be

    I just had the displeasure of reading his article, I really wish I hadn't.

    "The tanking affair killed off much goodwill and destroyed the reputations of many, and the MCG statue of icon turned president Jim Stynes stands as another subliminal reminder of how uneasy that ended."

    What a disgusting human being. I'm angry now.

    Is he trying to tarnish Stynes' name?

    The header says it all

    If I ever get the opportunity ie live radio is available I turn the [censored] off....sometimes difficult with HD TV and also of course no good for replays

    Such a condescending prjck

    Worst commentator on TV by a country mile.

    I agree about Russell, and when combined with Brereton and Johnson, they form the most sanctimonious, dim-witted and hard-to-listen-to team of commentators imaginable. Melbourne were dog-awful today, but I reckon my adverse vocalizing at the TV screen was split as followes:

    • commentators 50%
    • umpires 30%
    • Melbourne players 15%
    • Freo players 5%

    I like hearing the crowd noise. It's literally the only reason I leave it on.

    Do what we did as kids and make your own crowd noise. Rhaaahhh! Rhaaaaahhhh!!!!!

    You can do your own commentary too. "Quick handpass over the top to Russell who's on his own in the square ... runs into the open goal, OH WHAT A SHAME HE'S FALLEN OVER. That looks like a knee -- could be a career ending injury for Dwayne. What a shame ..." etc.

    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

    I don't really have anything against any journo, it's their job to give opinions and although I rarely agree with them, that's all they're giving, opinions.

    However, Russell genuinely seems to have it in for the club. Did Peter Jackson fart on his breakfast?

    It goes back longer, I remember thinking he had it in for the club at least ten years ago.

    He was genuinely upset when Melbourne beat Geelong and that "article" if I can call it that is nothing short of a disgrace.

    When Grimes sprayed his set shot out on the full, Brad Johnson said "He needs to do better than that. At least score." Riveting!

    Agree 100% - cannot stand him. Cannot listen to Sports Tonight on 3AW when he is on. Such an arrogant jerk.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
