I don't know how Sarah Jones gets a gig on Fox Footy.  Is as wooden as a splinter, and picks the wrong adjective and too often is quite repetitive.  Like Sandy, just cringeworthy.  Who does she know

Daisy Pearce is A1, and better than most blokes actually.  Mel McLaughlin is a bit blokey, but could pull anything off.

Kelly Underwood is just OK.

Sam Lane - predictable, but not as much as Lingy.

 

 

 

Daisy and Mel for me; and maybe Tiffany Cherry.

 

 

(Apologies if any of the above is viewed as sexist)

    This is what you post after a superb win. Uneffinbelievable. Who really cares.Once again physio, a total irrelevance.

    If Demonland can be likened to a pub, and I believe it can, you are the old codger in the corner of the bar more interested in hearing his own voice than the footy.

    But I will stop for a chat on the way to the pisser...

    Not sexist and fair chat if you have a similar thread for ex-footy players who struggle to put words in front of other words to make coherent sentences. Or talk about the fact the biggest footy journo in the country (Head footy writer for the Hun) would be more at home in the latest planet of the apes movie...

    Apologies if anyone thinks I am being primate-ist...

    I will take a good woman commentator any day over some of these ex players. Just because you have played the game at the top level does not mean you can commentate!

    You're spot on, I caught 20 minutes of last nights Doggies-Gold Coast game on the radio and Daisys commentary was better than any of the male commentary on TV. In fact she really stood out, shes very articulate and a quick thinker.

    Listening to her and then thinking of BT/Darcy/McAvaney/Dwayne and the like made me cringe at how truly horrific they are.

    Good post.

    I for one will welcome the day when the blokey, misogynist, sexist, mindless ranting coming from all commentary boxes is replaced by more articulate women who enlighten us with their well considered thoughts on the game. The current trend of women commentating on the game is welcomed by this poster. 

    And agree, Daisy is superb and I am rapt she is associated with our great club.

    I get that you are the dour tagger at demonland.  Problem is your opponent usually has 23 disposals and 4 goals... to half time.

     

    Time to go back to the magoos (flame or big footy or stalkbook) and reinvent yourself.  Nothing more useless and irrelevant than a towelled-up tagger.

    ✔Seriously, should anyone be allowed to post on this forum that publicly declares his insatiable desire for Daisy and Co? This his first thought after a momentous Demon victory. Pedant.

    Read my thread starter.  She could do anything.  Soccer...cricket...lawn bowls.

     

    Give her 5 minutes and she'll know more than Robbo and Sarah Jones combined.

    She probably knows more than Robbo now.

    Correction.  No "probably" about it.

    I actually don't mind most commentators, even BT. The only one who gets under my skin is Dwayne Russell for his clear anti Dees bias. I was listening to the radio on the weekend and both commentators were women. I dont care what sex they are as long as I can understand the footy, and they have some ability with the English language. 

    Now the door is open to whoever wants to commentate, we will see more women invovled.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
