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.

now you are talking .... I would pay extra for crowd noise only not to mention the ability to access different camera angles.

The hyped up commentary is really jarring ... to me at least

    Can recommend watching the game on tv with sound on 'mute' and listen to the radio.

    Much better as they described the actual game and don't indulge the 'fan boy' stuff, nor reminisce too much.  There is a few seconds delay but it didn't bother me.

    Watson is a Hird and Thompson apologist. His son also got stripped of a Brownlow due to drug cheating. At this point in time he isn't getting much right, I'm ok if he doesn't like MFC. As for Bartel, he has always been very sulky. Good player, great to watch, probably knows his football, but just a sulky type.

    This is absolutely crap !!! These two footballers have been Greats !! Get the chip off your shoulders and learn to accept criticism. I listened to his broadcast after i got home from the game and found his and Bartels comments quite constructive.

    Cannot stand him. I don't watch the channel 7 news because of him.

    Just because they were great footballers it doesn't make them exempt from criticism. Both men have an issue with MFC and have been called out on it. Watson called out on other things, but that is what you get when you defend drug cheats.

    My partner who knows nothing about football thinks he is scary...she can't stand him and switches off as soon as Tim appears.

    It's interesting to get a view that's in no way based on football or his part in it.

    Honestly the tone of this whole thread is akin to us getting flogged by St Kilda kicking 10 goals in the last Q.  Tim Watson and Jimmy Bartels did not cause any Melbourne players to make mistakes today or any day for that matter.

    If this how we win , then we would be better off losing and obviously some people then can find someone to blame.

    After attending the game yesterday, and reading comments in this thread about Tim Watson’s anti Melbourne commentary I was interested to view the replay.

    What I heard was Watson, Bartel and  Taylor praising and criticising both teams when they felt. the teams and players deserved it. Watson certainly praised Oliver, Hogan, Gawn and Brayshaw often enough (the praise for Oliver by all commentators bordered on the effusive). That Watson gave credit to StKilda players from time to time is understandable and necessary. 

    I cannot say I’m a great Tim Watson fan, but anti Melbourne commentary - no!

    Oh Garry. Please stick it up to Watson tomorrow. Will be interesting his take on the outcome today but I bet the nuf nuf wont have the b-lls to admit he might have got it wrong. Prove me wrong Timmy.

    Tim seems to hate us.

    I've noticed him as well.

    A litta bit narcarcyst, i think is uncle timmy.. a wee bit vindictive.  and a whole lotta biass for Saints, and Bummers.

    Just another of yesterdays hero's from that team of the 80's... he and hird also, seem to like  tasting their own pizzz.

    Me as well.

    And to think he went to the parents to alleviate their minds, at the beginning of the drugs saga.

     

    I take everything Watson says these days, with a truckload of sea salt

     

    I cannot watch him on the sports news, and he spoils the talking footy show.

    I wish he'd go-away.

    Is he anti Melbourne? Perhaps just anti Gary Lyon. Spends every week day morning with him. The two constantly giving each other s h i t

    They both along with Brian Taylor are constantly giving me the 5hit5. I can't turn it off as my Boss drives me to work in the morning, which I am tho very thankful. He's a Filth supporter too.

    Yeh, you blokes, just stick to abusing the bloody maggots, you're right on there all the time

    I think Tim and Jimmy are a bit like some of us, always expecting the worst. I suppose when you look at it,we still can't be trusted. We can't seem to beat up the weaker sides thou we are beating them. Time will tell when we play a top side again. Winning games is the only thing that counts,media praise or a put dowm is meaningless.

    It's not so much that Tim Watson was anti-Melbourne, more that there were moments/comments where he was clearly barracking for St. Kilda.

    Timmy for all his wonderful qualities, is such a lightweight in terms of his footy commentary. Of course he is not on his own, but somehow I always expect more from Tim however his utterances are always disappointing! 

    Very much a case of not living up to expectations , his own or others. 

    Strangely he pops up year after year, looking a little more self important but nevertheless ridiculous with his tight pants, brown shoes and heavily rimmed glasses.

    Tim is actually a nice bloke. He is also self effacing and funny.

    The dislike for him on here is not deserved.

    One comment and some on here become so precious it is just ridiculous.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
