Watched the replay last night.

The bit that shat me was when he made a pretend apology to a theoretical someone who was watching their first game of Aussie Rules (the [censored] called it AFL but I'll let that go, almost), and said words to the effect of "it isn't always this bad".

This was after we had pressured GWS all the way from forward 50 to our defensive 50 to finally force a turnover and ran, hand passed and kicked the ball forward and scored a goal! It was terrific, modern football - all team defence and quick counter attack to score and he is apologising to someone in his imagination!

Brad Johnson and Lynch both had the decency to praise our pressure, but Der-wayne wanted it his way. A total creep.

PS: any chance he is reading this thread?

How about someone emails it to wherever the hell he is employed so he could feel the vibe.

I heard that too.

I remember thinking, 'really? I've seen far far worse than that'.

Now if he'd said it at pretty much any point in the Dees v Lions game, that would have been accurate and appropriate.

just watched the smart replay on afl

can't believe how pizz poor the commentary is. like a group of drunks at the pub trying to impress each other and be blokey

i hope they get get a big revamp for next year because that was just below par

oh yeah and dwayne was the worst

Are we just ignoring the bit where Sandy Roberts called Brayshaw 'Monfries'?

he looks more like Rod Carter.

Anyone ever notice he has a tilt?

Ever heard Roberts pronounce Toumpas' name ?

Cringeworthy.

or the bit where Sandy called Kennedy Harris ' Garlett.' What a buffoon!

I used to enjoy Sandy's commentary about 15 years ago. He's so far past it now. It says a lot footy commentators and FOX FOOTY that they actually went back to him. He didnt have a job for years. Should have stayed that way.

Sandy is great compared to Derwayne and Brooooce!

Yeah Sandy's not that bad.

Did mix up Garlett and JKH which was poor but at least he tries to describe the game as opposed to the pub banter and irrelevant stuff Derwayne offers.

It would be easier if you just mute fox footy and listen to Grandstand but Fox has a one of two second delay on my box.

Maybe they know their commentators are the pits..?

Might be worth trying digital radio because that is a couple of seconds behind am or fm transmission. (haven't got Fox so never tried it myself).

Sandy's the footy commentary equivalent of your senile grandfather - a shadow of the great man he was. But you know what he used to be, and that he can't help it, so you turn a blind eye when you catch him urinating in the bathtub because he is confused about where he is.

Derwayne is your douchebag uncle, who gets shitfaced, bullies all the kids and pinches all the girls butts, then wonders why they stop coming to his BBQs. He's always been a jerk and you'll never offer him any benefit of the doubt.

Your family sounds like a real hoot DA!

Haha!

Wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't in the bath at the time, Nash.

Fantastic analogy.

And yeah, Sandy's insistence on pronouncing it "Toump-ass" is just weird. I'm not sure why he keeps doing it.

Probably something that should be left alone regardless.

If Sandy got the names right he'd be one of the best.

He calls the game and doesn't continually make sweeping statements about the players and their careers to date.

Just call the game and tell me what is happening now, not in the past or what you think will happen in the future because you will be wrong anyway.

He is at us again.

Even when we have a good moment he brings us down. This time he is putting a dampener on Jesse Hogan winning the Rising Star.

He suggests that we will continue to be poor on field and 9000 attendance at home games is standard. He believes that we are not worthy of Hogan.

He really has it in for us.

Fortunately, no one appears to take his views seriously. I'm struggling to recall when someone else I the media felt the need to respond to anything he's said or written. If you can recall something let me know.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.
