Watching the replay I didn't notice anything overly biased, though Carey's comments on Rances thuggish act were ludicrous. Gawn got heaps of praise. 

I guess familiarity can influence the perceptions of commentators and the slant they take. After all the 7 commentators get to see Richmond play every other day and barely know anything about our players. Heard more than once commentators say they have never seen such and player play before and one admitted he hadn't seen Gawn play. They tended to focus on Richmond's inability to stop our offensive play rather than the quality of our forward surges because they know their game better.

If our improvement is the real deal they will get used to us on prime time next season. If they could Channel 7 would rejig  the draw and feature more up and coming sides of the moment but our lame seasons finishes over the past two seasons condemns us as unappealing TV fodder for the following season.

Just watching the replay of the 4th quarter and while the Demons run away with the game the commentators cant stop gushing about 'brave' Trent Cotchin as he leads his team to yet another loss.

They were talking about how " Noone is tougher than trent cotchin " and the MFC players were literally taunting him about being soft haha hilarious

I think you answered your own question there Soidee. I thought Jeff Goldblum was equally as bad.

Agree... bias comments, love for Cotchin and even said Rance was silly and probably just a week. 

Rance's act was gutless and cowardly. 

If you compare Rance's act of hitting a man in the head whilst on the ground with glassing a woman in a public bar ,well then yes it does look merely silly. It's all about perspective and Carey has plenty of it.:)

I cannot wait for the day they have an app like MLB.TV where I can watch the tv and sync the audio seamlessly with any radio station that is doing the game

 

That way this thread would be null and void.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
