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

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.

It’s so out of kilter. I tried to work out who it was.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
