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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
