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 ?

    Did I really see that? Bloke does a 720 in a tackle and gets the free

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
