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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
