A bit like Captain Blood toward the end. He kept muddling players names and mangling the language all at the same time but it was radio and we loved it as I remember?

    I am astounded today we won against the saints at the dome of death and we won all three of our games and yet this thread about a commentator gets two pages!

    Get excited on the game thread guys we are heading into a season for the first time in a decade where we expect to win games instead of hoping the losing margin will be less than ten goals.

    I don't care what Roberts says.

    We won again for Gods sake!

    Sandy seems like a nice old bloke and I have a soft spot for the old-fashioned showman-type commentator, but I reckon he's past it. Calling Vince, McDonald was particularly memorable.

    Old Jack was entertaining - Sandy isn't.

    The lack of up & coming commentating talent means that hopeless geriatrics like Macavaney, Commetti and Roberts have been around torturing us for far far too long.

    If fate hadn't intervened, we'd have been blessed with Clinton Grybas instead of one of these blokes.

    Roberts is by far the worst.

    Don't be so hard on him. Like I said in the gameday thread - at least he never called Jetta as Oliver or vice versa.:lol:

    He did confuse Max Gawn with Grimes - I guess they are pretty similar.....if you are blind, blind drunk, or don't care.  Two arms, two legs, same team jumper...little else.

    No mate. It's just you usually call this time of year "dancing with your sister."

    Uncharacteristically positive view.

    Well, we Demons have got to have something to whine about. When the team is winning, we pick on the commentators. Simple! :lol:

    It might be a practice game for the commentators, sure, but he did the same thing all last year too. The guy is a dinosaur with the memory of a 90 year old goldfish. 

    I could never stand the bloke, I remember watching the Atlanta Olympics late one night and he thought he was off air, went to rip absolute shreds off some poor bastard, who probably forgot to put coffee in his whiskey. The look on his face was pure hatred and disgust. Pr/ck.

    Nathan Brown? Shades of Basil Zemplias calling Jeff Garlett Aaron Davey last year.

    I like the idea of a Sandy story page. Any funny Sandy stories or urban myths that could be attributed to the man, please leave here.

    I'll play. He's so bad with names he once introduced himself at a party as Dennis Cometti.

    I believe that Sandy Brown had a terrible call today...

    About the only thing he got right was counting the amount of shots that hit the post!

    It was actually so annoying that I turned the commentary off.... as I believe it is disrespectful to the players.

    If I went in to the office and ran around calling everyone the wrong name I would have questions asked... and I expect the same will happen with Sandy Hook.

    Had it in mind to start a thread (beaten to it).

    My highlight was when he called Ben Kennedy "Garlett".

    Honestly, why do we need to hear from him again? Its not like he is adding to the coverage.

    Called Kennedy Garlett for goodness sake !!  To be fair I find it hard to distinguish between Kennedy and Garlett. Could be twins !!!!  Sandy, go home and have a nice cup of tea.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
