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.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
