Roaming Brian - Melbourne vs Hawthorn, Semi Final

Hogan and Lever both in the coaches box and both made an appearance on roaming BT don't worry.

You don't really get great interviews by suprising players who are dead sore and want to relax. I think the classic desk in the rooms and have 2-3 players and maybe a special coach or CEO come on for an interview is better. Maybe have a 2min segment where BT goes and finds something interesting (like the rub down table as he calls it) and let him do it. Running through the rooms with a camera and cords and approaching people in the way he does leads to some cringy moments.

BT asked the lady who weighs everyone if she is the Rub down girl (great moment tbh), went into ice bath areas to interview a half naked hibbo and a kid (that sounded worse than it was) and had the very excited McDonald parents try and embarrass their kids on live TV.

    Couldn't agree more. He thinks he's an authority.

    Does anyone know who the boys were kissing on the cheek on their way into the rooms? I assumed it was one of the Mums, but I could be wrong

    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.

     

    No putting up with, that's past.

    BT's been very good this year, and has somehow changed his attitudes. IMO.

    He's very listenable, this year.

     I find it interesting and entertaining, not rude.

    And it gives some other interviewers some vision time on telly.

    Interesting.

    Oh no. I think he's gone.

    I liked BT meeting Nevs parents. They deserve some sort of award for producing a son like him. 

    I also liked when Frosty was interviewed on the MFC podcast during the week. Sam was asked "who he most looked up to at the Club" It took him no thought at all to nominate Nev for not just what he did on the field but for his closeness to his family and his work in the indigenous community. Frost said that we all have 24 hours a day but Nev makes the most of every one. 

    BT plays the fool, and maybe one for all I know, but I do like the ‘inner access’ it provides mug punters like me.

    Craig Jennings summed up how I feel about BT perfectly. 

     

    Daniel Cross is a bulldogs legend, remember? His kid goes for the Dees. [censored] awesome.

    Just watched it now, what a champ Tom and Oscar’s dad is! Hibberd dropping the bomb, everyone was awesome.

    I’d wanted to see a Roaming Brian with us all year, now it just seems like a regular thing!

    Agree. Cringeworthy but nonetheless entertaining - was Clarrie playing stupid, or ...??

    OMG. Not there for BT’s segment.  ?

    Surely incontrovertible and final proof that he hates this club and just can’t wait to feel the buzz and excitement of a Ross Lyon forward “structure”!

    Roaming Brian two weeks in a row.  Awesome.  The access to players was sensational  

    We didn’t get the Friday nights this year. 

    Watch out 2019 fixtures for 4-5 Friday nights surely. We are the highest scoring entertainment team.

    Highest scoring ... lots of goals ... lots of ad breaks.

    Somewhere a Channel 7 exec is thoughtfully stroking his chin and asking his PA to get Gil on the line.

    Give bt credit. He complimented the club on its approach to providing full and open access as the best in the afl. As did caro and hutchy on monday night.

    Well done dees media team and management.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
