I hope Eddie was watching those final minutes in Paris.

Who was the genius that thinks it's a good idea to have Mr "Justice served" as an anchor for the Olympics?

Is he that well loved outside his filth circles?

I'm with you. They could still finish too and have a draft hand of three 1st round draft picks which includes Collingwoods one which they gave up for Schultz.

They're in a really good space with their list build and age demographic.

Their aim should be a premiership within thr next 3 years imo.

I hope all their picks become a bust or they are Victorians and leave in 3 years 😜.

Could end up being pick 6 - 8 for Schultz. Freo are laughing.

Let's also not forget that Collingwood traded out their 2021 1st round pick the year prior for picks 24, 30 and future 4th in preparation for Nick Daicos. Collingwood slid down the ladder and had they retained their pick they could've had Finn Callaghan as well as Daicos. They've been burned pretty badly so far on future pick trading.

Long may this continue, they could fall off the cliff in the next couple of years if they can't replenish their list.

They have one of the worst age profiles in the league.

Is there a reason the score review shows useless camera angles for over a minute and only after that show the snickometer result?    (I mean a genusine reason, not some AFL crud reason.)

That buffoon should’ve been banned from Olympics commentary after his deplorable gaffe at the 2010 (or 2014 🤔) Winter Olympics. The Men’s Halfpipe Snowboarding final and American Shaun White absolutely carved up all competition. Immediately afterwards, McGuire had two of our Aussies, one being Scotty James (our best in this event), neither of whom medalled and both of whom were gutted, live at the desk. He said let’s show the footage of the final again. That was bad enough. Then he says to Scotty James, “wanna talk us through Shaun’s incredible gold medal run?” 😳 I was watching it at the time and Scotty’s face said what I and probs everyone in the entire world was thinking, ie. Are you [censored] serious??? Did you just ask a devastated losing Olympic hopeful to describe blow by blow the gold medal winner’s run????” Absolutely inexcusable, and awkward af.

The good part: after the self-absorbed eejit asked the question Scotty simply said, “No.” Just like that. Legend. 👊🏼

These score reviews can be so annoying!! When it’s for a possible ‘hit the post’, why don’t they go straight to the snicko thingy, rather than first trying to establish whether or not it touched, using vision that looks like it was taken from the other end of the ground and with pretty much just the one angle!!

Never mind that fact that our Olympic diving expert is Tubby Taylor!

Really? That’s ridiculous. Ok, maybe Matthew Mitcham is unavailable but surely we have a raft of former divers who could commentate.

He does have a fellow commentator who I think is a former diver, but Tubby tends to hog the commentary 😁

I finally heard all of what McCrae said about the umpiring.  Wow he just sounded like not only a sore loser, but a spoiled brat. 

Didn't he tell his team a couple of years ago not to act like lovers.

Anyway on another note Brisbane are off to a flyer & should be further ahead.

Not surprised to hear this story.

He's insufferable, it's hard enough to wake up in the early hours of the morning to watch the swimming competition; on top of that I have to listen to that clown.

Brisbane will get a free hit for coverage in September because the titans aren't playing finals & for the first time in awhile the broncos won't feature. So both nrl teams are out.

I mean Townsville could make it but they're a bit out of Brisbane

For a sane insight into Olympics commentary check out Rampaging Roy and HG Nelson's daily show on ABC RN called  People, Medals and Cheese. Very funny and ripped into McGuire a couple of days back, having lifted an eyebrow about Tubby's efforts in the diving earlier.

why, in the kangas vs meth coke game, are the maggots wearing a light blue colour shirt?

i reckon at least twice north players have tried to kick it to the umpire cos they've looked up and seen someone in a similar colour to their blue stripes

who on earth is in charge of this stuff? surely just put them in a colour NOT USED BY EITHER TEAM

good grief the afl is just a clusterfart of incompetence

This lions giants game is like when we played the giants.

We dominated the 1st quarter , but missed easy shots & should have been further in front at 1/4 time.

Kingsley bakes them & they respond.

The same thing has happened in this game. The lions should have been 8 goals up

I love HG & Roy! The Dream (show) that they had during the Sydney Olympics was brilliant (I have the DVDs of it)!

Their commentary of the men's gymnastics was hilarious. Couldn't get away with it today unfortunately.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
