Bartel’s comments were spot on, it’s no ones turn, it’s earnt. 

It was the tone in which he said it. like it was the MFC's fault that we had been touted as a premiership chance or why not The Dees. 

The guy is a first class blog he's a vanilla special comments blog.

    He's a smarmy bastard. My God, that simpering grin ...

    He thinks he's intelligent, but his mangling of the English language at times outs him as a meathead. His big stupid glasses simply confirm that he is a meathead who mistakenly thinks he is intelligent.

    He is a living example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

    He’s definitely pro St Kilda for this game. Didn’t he coach them for a while? Might have a soft spot similar to when Roos commentates us

    That commentary where he hoped McCartin was ok was fair enough in his concerns but how Jetta didn’t get some love for his courage is beyond me 

    I was incensed when he mentioned that McCartin had a history of head injuries, but failed to acknowledge that Nev came close to retiring due to concussions.  

    Ignorant or biased I don’t care - just poor commentary and poor research and knowledge of the game.

    Watson he's a tool, wasn't he a great coach lol. absolute [censored] of the highest order.

    Wasn’t StKilda going about as well under his tutelage as they are going now?  Or were they, could they be, worse ?

    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?

     I had no idea what he was talking about, and clearly he didn’t either. 

    As regards Tracc’s digit - it was all over the newspapers, and most footy media.  IsBT so wrapped up in his own opinion and his own world that he doesn’t follow the news?

    Bartel he's a piece of work that pip squeak. Did you hear his comments the other week "Everyone is saying its Melbourne's turn to win a premiership, i don't know why everyone is saying it, it's not their turn" or words that effect.

    He's a yes man no opinions of his own.

    It's a fair point though

    there're no turns - earn it

    Tim Watson who today said

    Petracca is one day going to break a game open

    Tom Mcdonald just adds another dimension to their forward line

    Melbourne are just applying so much pressure getting numbers to the contest and their set up is preventing St Kilda from moving the ball quickly

    Yeah he hates us

    Why does anyone care about Watson? Honestly he was one of the worst coaches of his generation. 

    Let him stroke it over the saints, doesn't change the result.

    For the past few weeks it's been all "god we are crap, we have no idea, phark Melbourne", then we win a couple and it's all "Tim Watson doesn't rate us, god he is crap, has no idea, phark Tim Watson".

    It's a beautiful thing

    He does not hate us, no one should ever be only positive about any team all the time and no one should be all negative about any team, everyone makes mistakes no team plays a. perfect footy. I think too many are making it personal with Tim, nothing he said about the dees today was over the top, or personal most people like to see the underdog win. The saints are really bad they tried their guts out to day, which is even more concerning for them, I always  thought that they never really hit the bottom when Lyon left, they are now there it starts from here their rebuild.

    It's not about rating us, the entire commentary today was from the viewpoint of what the Saints did or didn't do, what they needed to do etc Completely unprofessional

    Was that the Hawthorn game ? If so I thought his comments on us, our structures and game style were spot on (on the day)

    I normally don't notice this kind of thing, but in the first half it was pretty clear.

    Paul Roos is just as bad when covering Melbourne games though.

    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.

    Also played his 1st AFL game as a 15yr old.
    So I'm tipping book learnin' wasn't a priority.

    He is a bloke of morals. He came out swinging against the afl any their bad treatment of Essendon. He may have forgotten it destroyed his sons career. 

    Guy is a tool. Hate when he commentates. More than eddy. Maybe

    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.

    Well I watched it, listened to him and was unaware of any bias

  • Quote

    There was one point when the Saints finally got out in space and his comment was "here we go, come one" hahahaha. If that is impartial commentary then I am Santa Claus.

    As the Dees soar to the eight, watch the critics blush...

  • Quote

    Most commentators start cheering for the side getting done anyway.
    Makes for a far more entertaining telecast when it's close.

    True by and large, though I can recall many occasions when we were getting done when the commentators chose to put the boot in rather than coach so enthusiastically - perhaps we deserved it.  However the amateur coaching Watson and co were doing started before it was clear who would dominate. And it was pretty much all they talked about in the first part of the game.  

    If only we could have the option commentary replaced by the umpires' mike.

    I'm not sure how some of the people on this website function in the real world. "Mummy, the mean man on the TV didn't say nice things about my football team". If you don't like the commentary, turn the sound down.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
