    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
