Agree with the previous posts on the commentators.

Dwayne Russell is frustratingly OTT. Dermott hates us and every time he commentates on our games focuses almost exclusively on our opponent. And Healy is the new Sandy Roberts; so incredibly past it.

There are so many good commentators available, it baffles me that Dwayne and Gerard are doing multiple calls per Round on TV/radio.

I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can watch football in silence.

I'll take rubbish commentary over no sound at all.

May have said it on the game day thread.  I muted the TV and listened to 3AW this time, though sometimes 774 or SEN.  

Sometimes fiddling with the pause or FF button is needed to get full sync

    Here's Luke Jackson's best moments from Round 2!

     

    In Isolation he's even better than you imagine. The left foot.... his ability to stay in the contest and explode out of the contest with the pure mids is second to none and something I don't think you've ever seen from a ruckman...

    The 3m.13s mark against Chol (who went ok) is breathtaking, ruck contest he slightly won followed by keeping his feet while off balance into a tap over the top into a 360 into a gather and "bullock" through an on coming tackle into a give and go and give back to Jacko into a left foot into fwd 50.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
