It has been a long time since i have looked foward to reading the sports section of the paper after a demons game this year. So when i sat down to read it with a coffee this morning, i was litlte disappointed to realise that an imbecile had watched and reported on the game yesterday.

He gives Cam Bruce best on ground. Bruce was great, but not better than Bell or Green. And he managed to give 2 Adelaide players votes, even though, outside of about 20 minutes of play they were comprehensibly beaten all day. Would' Melbourne players have got votes yesterday if the results were reversed? He also managed not to even give Daniel Bell a mention in his match report even though he gave him 3 votes.

Can you believe idiots like this Davis Reed actually get paid to do a job like theirs?

    Jerry - why not go to The Oracle's Match Review on Demonland? It's a much more level headed and unbiased treatment of the game! :lol:

    Well considering that Channel 7 didn't even know who Daniel Bell was apparently, you can't expect anything less unforunately :angry: !!!

    It kind of tells you exactly how they are really going in their coverage and reporting of the code.......

    What's that in reference to?

    I was at the game so didn't watch any TV coverage.

    I read it on another thread here actually (can't find it now sorry)......

    Apparently he was referred to as Moloney.

    He gave Ben Rutten the 5th vote. Rutten was probably in the the bottom third of their best players ladder and might possibly have played his worst game for the year. You'd have to give the honours to Neitz. Who is Davis Reed anyway?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
