Worth putting up with BT to have this sort of access to the players/rooms after a finals win.    The vibe in there is electric.

Bonus points to Clayton Oliver for the pizz take of Brian.

    I agree. I find it hard to listen to Brian. I'll admit he's helped create any interesting viewing point with Roaming Brian, but it's laced with self and afl promotion. 

    Our list is full of interesting and lovable players. It's really nice watching the joy and affection shared by family members, close friends, staff and players.

    Oskar Baker was sitting there next to Clarry, with a great opportunity to be interviewed. Bt looked at him, realized he didn't know who it was and then went looking for someone that he recognized.

    If BT is going to roam during the finals, he needs to know every player on every list.

    Hey Dr.D , I just like to let you know this kid called Oskar Baker can play and is highly regarded. This is the kind of kid that we are going after to make our club better. You will see much of him next season. I will keep you informed.

    I don't he has they necessary skills in engagement to interview people well when their too far from the know players. His manners are forward, crude and assuming.

    By the way, the full segment was like 15 minutes including a great interview with the very fired up mum and dad of the McDonald brothers.

    If someone has the full segment please post, not sure why the uploader only posted 8 minutes of it.

    Just finished watching BT’s segment. Where was Hogan? Anyone see him in the rooms?  Every somebody and nobody connected with the club was there. He has kind of disappeared lately like he must be doing a stint in a remote lamasery in the Himalayas.

    Was in the rooms after the win and Tom went over to his mum and dad, he let his mum give him a kiss but shrugged off his dad when he tried to give him a hug, priceless

    I love my footy on TV but roaming Brian is easily the most cringe-worthy, embarrassing, superficial non event I have ever seen. I simply loathe it. I actually like his commentary (and I know I am in the minority) but his roaming stuff is just an opportunity for the commentary team to have a self indulgent giggle full of in-jokes which no one else enjoys. 

    I am very grateful for the mute button.

    And his interruption of other radio and TV interviewers is just plain rude.

    Never thought I would ever read that.

    Brain Taylors commentary is the worst on any AFL media at the moment.

    "cant believe it"

    "cant believe it"

    "cant believe it"

    "can not believe it"

     

    Are you fugn kidding me? He is an embarrassment to the game. I hope none of his deplorable commentary is seen by internationals. It's as bad as the AFL entertainment extravaganzas of old.

    One interesting moment was seeing Jetta's tall dad and wondering why Nev is so small.  Then the camera turned to his mum and all was explained.

    There is nothing on this earth that is worth putting up with BT.

    I actually enjoy Roaming Brian as it is a lighthearted look behind the scenes.

    Rather watch that, than the pontificating that goes on with some of the footy panels.

    He and Lever were both in the coaches box during the game.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
