JB and BT are the worst commentators on any TV station! This is an exciting game. They generate zero excitement. It’s so mundane

And add Daisy to the duo and it’s highly painful to listen to.

    I hope the filth fall in a heap in the 2nd half and get obliterated.

    So can someone clarify this for me pls...

    Player takes a mark under severe pressure with opponent bearing down.

    Opponent runs over the mark in his attempt to spoil and put player off from marking.

    Umpire then calls player (who has gone past the mark) to come back a meter or two and stand the mark where he (the umpire) believes the mark was taken.

    Player goes back but then does not stand the mark and keeps going back away from the mark.

    My understanding was that if he's instructed to come back a meter or two he cant then decide (for himself) that he's now going to run way back behind the mark to an 'outside 5' set up.

    In other words the player standing the mark can't have it both ways, especially when instructed by the umpire to go back and stand the mark.

    This happened just now in tonight's game... with the umpire doing exactly the above but then allowing player to go back and actually calling him as 'outside 5' after initially calling him back 2 meters (to stand the mark).

    Anyone??

    Daisy is one of the best special commentators out there! It’s the main commentators jobs to build excitement.

    Yes i reckon Daisy should be replaced with our on-the-ground spruiker for the half time Demon Dash.

    She's so much easier on the ears  🙉

    The implementations of outside 5 and where the mark is are a dog’s breakfast.   Inconsistent

    Lions forwards have taken away the aerial dominance of the Pies by often playing them one-on-one. Hipwood is showing what to do with Moore - stand next to him. 

    Daniher has shown his best tonight. Get him away from goals and let him influence the play around the ground. 

    Around the stoppages, the Lions are doing to the Pies what they did to us. Knowing that the first disposal is usually a small flick handpass, they are chopping it off or denying it completely. A really good tactic in modern footy. Well coached Fagan.

    Pies getting pantsed here. Sick of hearing how great they are. I hope the Lions put a hundred points on them.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
