    Think how irritating it will be when he starts drooling over our emerging MFC stars in future.  Cringeworthy. 

    He's already done it with his Viney ! Viney !!! Viiiiiiiiiiiiney !!!!!! effort. 

    You sometimes want to give him a slap, but I'll let that one slide.

    Just realised that when Gunston hit the post from 10 metres or whatever that he was only one second or so away from being crunched by Viney. No wonder he missed!

    At times during the call, he called "Sahrlem" as you said, but also "Slahlom" at one point.

    I also get turned off by his ott growling voice @bingers when something exciting happens... that and his constant need for positive feedback... "Didnt he"?, "Wasnt it"?, etc etc. One of the best sporting brains in the world statistics wise, but his days as a caller have passed him by.

    Must retire from calling soon or more people will listen to radio while watching TV.

    Yeah, without that big chase from Viney Gunston would've bounced and walked into open goal...

    Truely a 1%er that was game changing from our fearless leader!

    Then there were 2 massive chases in the game because I thought Hibberd's chase on Gunston to deny him the soccer goal earlier was a significant moment in the match.

    Id love to know now what the "joke" was that Roughead told the huddle just before the start?

    Nice set-up for the jokers on here but in all seriousness I think he would have been reminding the Hawks that last time the Melbourne Football Club made it to a prelim our current starting midfield were still watching Barney the Dinosaur and wetting the bed . . .

    Poppy .... roughie .... what a fool.

    His demented growling is the worst. "Viney viney Viney" (in stupid growling voice) after he did brilliantly to kick it to the hot spot. (Brayshaw marked and goaled.)

    I'm sorry. The cringiest piece of commentary for the weekend goes to Luke Darcy when De Goey took a mark. He sounded like a constipated nuffy. "De Gooooooooeeeeeeeeeeyyy!!!!!"

    I'm cringing just thinking about it.

    Darcy makes BT sound like a half decent caller.

    I actually didn't mind the Viney call. I'd argue it's spine tingling. Darcy just sounds like a try hard though when he did it.

    Last time I spoke to him he really laid into Melbourne as being soft. Should run into him again soon so I shall just smile - widely.

    To bad for us, Bruce is commentating the cricket now.

    He wasn’t wrong, we were soft for years. I think Hawthorn played ahead of themselves this year and will go backwards next season.

    Some chat about Oliver being "looked at" for flopping. I was there but didn't see it. Any thoughts?

    More chance of Poppy or Sicily or someone else (can't remember who it was) getting done for staging

    Lmao, I distinctively remember that piece of commentary also. It’s like he was still yelling out his name whilst he was lining up ?

    Next time you see him, give him a punch in the nads from the people of Victoria

    Bruce is simply embarrassing. The first rule of a good commentator is that its not about themselves. Its about calling the game properly. We can all see whats going on. Stop being a fawning sychophant.

    Better still. Times up. Retire now.

    Unfortunately my night was marred by racist remarks directed at Salem and Jetta by a group of Hawthorn fans in Q1. Left me feeling down for the remainder of the match, but it was a great win by the boys. Go Dees

    That from 'supporters' of the team carried by Burgoyne and Rioli for so long.

    Hypocrites.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
