Tim Watson anti Melbourne

Who cares what this drug cheat sympathizer says or thinks, hes irrelevant 

Bit tough my friend. Yes, his commentary today was pretty poor. He has also watched his son go through the unimaginable and any father would want to stick up for his son given the circumstances.

Irrelevant though? No. One of the best players I and many others saw through the late 80's and 90's. And coached at the highest level. I reckon he may know a bit more about the game than you and me.

It kind of felt like the commentators were told to talk up St Kilda today, maybe they thought if they did that they'd be entitled to an easier whack when the wheels fell off?

Although in general how bad was BT, didn't know about Tracc's finger, said numerous times that Webster caused the 50 meter penalty which went to the saints (even argued with the others when they pointed out it couldn't have been a teammate the ran through the protected area. Was the guy drunk, or is he just that stupid?

- Commentators work for channel 7. 

- Channel 7 has the broadcast rights with the AFL. 

- CEO of the AFL is Gil

- Gil is a Saints supporter. 

Ipso facto the commentators support the saints - they know which side their bread is buttered on?

But I don't think that means they hate Melbourne.

Tim Watson is not anti dees, maybe he is a demon supporter, going by how many negative post there are on the post game  thread,  there is  more anti dees post there then Tim's anti dees  commentary.

He wasn't great today, referred to the Saints as "we" instead of "they" multiple times, showing his bias. Definitely not the worst commentator going around though.

Yep, it was blatantly obvious today. Didn't have a good word to say about us at all. 

 

He was goaded into praising a Maxi tap down that Harmes swallowed. After the other commentator mentioned it there was a pregnant pause then Tim decided he'd better agree. 

Let's not lose any sleep over a father who so shamelessly allowed his son to be treated like Jobe was by the bummers. Put that miserable drug riddled club before the mental and physical well being of his own flesh and blood. Disgraceful !!!!!!

Not to mention he was crapping on about the mark the Tmac took on the point line.....It almost felt like some of the other commentators were ready to say, "Shut up Tim".

Correct ..... I'm far more scathing on our performances than Tim Watson could ever be.

The ump was in perfect position on the behind line against the post. No hesitating with his decision. Watson refused to even acknowledge that.

A very unimpressive commentator on all sport. You would expect him to be very knowledgeable about footy but his commentary never suggests that he has any additional knowledge over the average punter.

Adds very no insight or makes little comment that adds to the value of commentary. He is there for his special comments but makes no special comments.

He appears to lack objectivity.

And he certainly damns Melbourne with faint praise.

"Last chance saloon" for the poor Saints today. If they couldn't be competitive, and by god they weren't, it's number two rebuild in the pipeline.

 So now, that's no longer the "whipping dog demons" who have silently, because we won"t hear about it, put away a couple of highly maggot favoured, bruise free clubs from yesteryear.

Gary Lyon talks Melbourne on radio SEN and is on with Timmy in the mornings .When Melbourne has a win all you hear from Gary is Melbourne this and Melbourne that. However it would drive Tim Bonkers. He has become anti  Dees.    Gary won't let up this week.          GO GARY!     However l love it .     Go Dees!

To quote from an old favourite show of mine:

"Tim Watson's only crime is being Tim Watson. It is also his punishment."

As other's pointed out, he barracked for the Saints today and will go home disappointed.

And that is the pattern of his life for more about a decade now.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
