    Only opened this thread to see what reason you had to say that ? 

    Conclusion you don't have a sensible reason - nothing to see here move on !

    I’ve listened and watched him for years on the abc, started as a big fan; he knows sport, articulates well, and commentated without ego. 

    However, over the years, I believe ego has become more prominent, he has become nauseatingly sanctimonious to the extent, I can’t listen to him on SEN (or the podcasts). Added to this, let me tell you, (those unfamiliar with him), he has a real bias against Melbourne, I know this for a fact.  Chip on the shoulder perhaps

    Agree. Used to be a fan, but it’s gone to his head.

    What I'm taking away from this thread is that some people like one style of commentator and other people like a different style of commentator.

    Barney, I understand that you don't like Whateley, which AFL commentators/journalists do you like?

    ive read this twice and have no idea what your point is

    he rated us as top 8 and now changed his mind based on our performances? and he should not have?

  • Quote

    Add me in to those who like Whately. He beats all the ex-player commentators hands down, and even if I don’t like all his opinion pieces, I can see where he is coming from. I don’t perceive any major bias.

    Hell I'd say any commentator who isn't Simon Goodwin has got it wrong !

    One of the few sensible comments on this thread.

    I agreed with what he said.  The 4-week block (Essendon, Saints, Suns, Blues) are all must win games now, mainly because of the games we dropped in the first part of the season.  Because of our losses, especially that against Geelong, it has put extra pressure on this run of games.

    How I see it - we did what we should've against Essendon, albeit in a half of footy, then against the Saints we finally played 4 reasonable quarters.  The issue for us is that we often get ahead of ourselves, so having played a decent "all round" game last week, there is that trust issue that we won't back it up.

    If we win this weekend, then there's no issue, but I, possibly like Gerard, will again have us as the potential "biggest loser" going in to the Carlton game.

    We have 2 more weeks to prove to the footy world that we can be trusted.

    lol what a fascinating thread. 

    Whateley said don’t undo the good work we’ve started. Which is absolutely correct. Probably the least worthy thing to get your knickers in a knot over in the history of knicker knots. 

    Whatever the [censored] a bex is, have one. 

    Spot on.  They are asked who has "most at stake"....and although you could argue that Port and Essendon are two others, if we lose to the GC having started to establish trust, what sort of credibility do we have to make Finals?  We need to win these next 2 and set ourselves up.  

    As for Whateley, yes, his ego is starting to inflate a little, but he's a sensible and articulate commentator, and I'm more interested in his opinion than the majority of other lightweight journos like Jon Ralph.

    Need to put 10 goals into Suns and 10 into the Blues. Minimum.

    Mike Williamson' footy supporter type commentary.  non player type commentators. Less analysis, and more spontaneous enjoyment .

    Whately comes across very articulate & respectful to his audience.  I think he resonates well with the female audience (of which I am).

    The latter, proudly.

    Old fashioned 70's lifestyles, and TV.  heading down to the coast on Satdy morning, or Fridy night.

    Hangen out with the mates and havin good times. Parties, and workin bees at freinds places, and no workin weekends.

    I have been Watching this moron on Foxtel, and listening to his diatribe on SEN for all of 2018.

    I have also been watching him on FOXTEL in AFL360 for several years.

    This year he has outgrown his own brains.

    He now thinks he owns and runs the AFL.

    From a guy that has not played decent football, but now thinks he is a football guru, is beyond me.

    Earlier this year he stated he picked Melbourne for a Top 8.

    Round 1, yes we lost a game we could have won (Against his team GEELONG)

    Round 2 we won against the Lions (no comment )

    Round 3  We won against the Roos (no comment)

    Round 4 We lost against Hawks ( agreed a bad game ) (his comments were we couldn't make the the Top ?

    Round 5 we lost against Tigers (we were with the top team for 3 1/2 quarters)

    Round 6 we  demolished the bombers (no comment)

    Round 7  we demolished the aints ( no comment)

    Round 8 The Dees have the most to lose this weekend. ( sorry Gerard Your Precious [censored] has more to lose than us Demons)

     

    GERARD GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND START LOOKING OUT OF BOTH EYES.  (MORON No. 1)

    How do you really feel, Barney? He's just one of the sensationalists, without expertise.

    Well, that’s probably down to opinion.

    The way I see it is that he confident, assured and articulate.  Some may see that as arrogance, and that’s fair enough.

    The egocentric commentators seek to sensationalise, exaggerate, crack in jokes, make up nicknames, laugh hysterically at their own jokes and treat the viewers/listeners like they’re fools.

    Basically Brian Taylor and all his ‘mates’.

    Damn site better than listening to bogans on the radio!  He has a few smarts which intimidates the bogans.  Plenty of ex AFL players on radio that are poo!

    Anyone bother listening to FM? Almost every station has moronic comedians every morning laughing at their own jokes and frankly make up childish non funny stuff.  I guess many have a short attention span. If you want decent radio with trained broadcasters, tune into UK radio.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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?
