    Legit the most pathetic bit of footy media on any channel at the moment. Which is saying a lot. 

    Roaming Brian should be renamed [censored] Brian because he has no idea how to conduct interviews or what to ask players. He cut off Glen Bartlet last night who actually was saying some interesting stuff about membership targets, so he can talk to Josh Mahoneys kid. I mean seriously!

    Yeah its terrible.  Its cool to see in the rooms and hear from all the players and coaches after the win though, but BT is the worst.

    I know I'm in the minority, but I quite enjoy his few minutes of nonsense in the rooms!

    Brilliant - I like the roaming BT segment. Gives some good insights into what the players do after the game and some good light hearted Q&A.  It also has a nervous air that Roaming BT will say or do something highly inappropriate which adds to the experience. 

    On a side note, Bruce Mcevaney annoys me to no end. He offers no insight or understanding of the game and simply fawns over players based on their reputation and not on how they are playing or what is actually happening.

    He just walked past me in an Elsternwick car park. Has lost a fair bit of weight.

    If having to put up with Brian as part of winning I am absolutely happy to include this each week.

    Really makes him think he is important but behind the responses there is s good deal of banter some sort of unbelievable mirth and also true footy cliches. Oh and just a hint of information for us fans!

    As long as he's not forcing bathwater down their throats I say lighten up and enjoy it.

    To be honest I prefer Roaming Brian, where he is intentionally being a tool for a bit of light hearted entertainment, to Commentary Brian, where his toolery interferes with the actual call.

    I agree completely.

    I watched a replay of the final against Geelong a couple of weeks back and he was calling Angus Agnes.

     Segment should be renamed "tool in the sheds"

    When I have to watch 7 I either watch it with no sound or have a radio station for sound. There is a lot to be said for no sound. It is like watching a game live, you don't get commentary at the ground why do we need it at home?

    Not sure why there’s so much vindictiveness here towards roaming Brian, I found it entertaining and informative

    Yeah.....not so good sometimes, but I enjoy seeing some players trying to hide from him. What a laugh! They are probably embarrassed as well. By the way, glad to see Marty Hore's parents were able to find the rooms! Don't worry Marty, if they can't find the rooms at the MCG, us girls will look after you!

    I like the sound of the game. Just feels weird watching it in silence. If you could have the sound of the crowd, and the footy hitting the boots, and bodies hitting each other, and the players calling out to each other, without these imbeciles yabbering over the top of it, that would be perfect for me.

    Watching the TV with the radio on doesn’t work for me. They’re always out of sync and it drives me spare.

    Yes your last point is a good one. But seriously do prefer Bruce and Brian to the sweet sound of silence? I wonder if anyone has done a trial of a telecast sports game without commentary but sounds of the crowd etc?

    Yes!

    I simply say "Gush"... Def: to speak effusively or with exaggerated enthusiasm

    Makes me sick!

    Ditto for me.  Best solution is to turn the volume down low so you can easily ignore the actual words the commentators say.  Just use them as augmenting the crowd noise (which they already fake at matches were there are few supporters of one side).

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
