BT at it again with showing no respect to Daisy in commentary. 
 

What a prize flogger.

I am very close to poking my own eyeballs out - this Crows v Bombers is atrocious. Half-back to half-back practice match.

Awful game - how on earth did the Crows beat us and the Druggies push us for a while?

Had never realised what a [censored] bloke Devon Smith is. Strutting round like a tough guy, giving away frees and trying to wrestle blokes.

Serious small man syndrome

I listened to 7 in the first quarter - hadn't done that for a while and had forgotten how bad it was.  Now listening to 3AW, almost synchronised.

Whoever did the scheduling should be embarrassed. Worst Friday night game in a long time.

2 points and almost at half time is laughable.

Simple. It was an absolute statistical anomaly largely influenced by SA umpiring. 
 

They were playing out of their skins something chronic.

Half time - off to sleep.

Bombers' complaining about the umpiring seems to have paid off well.  13-8 in a half.

FMD how did this contest between 12th and 15th get a run ahead of our game or Dogs v Swans or  Richmond v Collingwood or a replay of Love Actually?

Any match featuring the flag favourites doling out a football lesson will always have wide appeal

Janes Brayshaw is so bad

I don’t think there’s anybody worse. And the guy who does the pre -match over the top stuff (tonight it was Tippa) is hard to stomach

What a pathetic match. I wish that someone would crown Devon Smith. The most annoying piece of shizen on the footy field.

That pre-match voiceover guy does every single one of those ‘tributes’ as if it’s about Ted Whitten or Lou Richards or similar. It kinda loses it’s potency when it’s done ad nauseam.

Absolutely spot on WCW. I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed.

What has happened to the holding the ball rule? Perkins was just spun around twice in a tackle and doesn’t dispose of the footy and not pinned for holding it? Then he gets the free for high a few seconds later ?

Possibly the worst decision of the year..... And it's a long list of disgraceful decisions. 

Ump was 5 metres away with a clear view

It’s annoyed me for years. Ok for a finals match, or if someone has died, but a match like this one? Pfft.

I can’t remember his name. He’s been doing these presentations and tributes and stuff for years. It’s really not necessary. Fans will watch the match if they’re interested. They don’t need to be enticed with a deep and meaningful back story. It’s soooo Chanel seven.

Why wouldn’t they put Carlton V Geelong on Friday night as opposed to this garbage?

Surely a good team vs a mediocre team is better than a mediocre team vs a bottom team.

The AFLPA said no to Dogs V Sydney.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
