MFC Fans Only Non-Demons AFL Discussion – 2024: This year really stinks (but not as much as the Gold Coast rebrand)

[schmuttt]

I think at a minimum you need two years out of the game before you call your own team

Then again Luke Darcy has been out of the game for more than a decade and is insufferable calling play by plays for the dogs

I linked to the time where you can hear his heart breaking whilst he has to call

 

[Jamurp]

Yeah Jones calling our games was also a head scratcher. I remember one game we won he was high fiving blokes in the room post win while working. Not that whoever we where playing was hanging around after a loss, but i would have been quite agitated after a loss to see that

Selwood round 1 against the saints was both awful in terms of bias and just how ordinary he is at talking on a mic

Selwood is terrible on comms, bad speaking voice and boring analysis, broadcasters really are tone-deaf in terms of who would make for decent special comms people.

Someone needs to edit this with the footage of the Dogs players watching us kill their finals chances with a win against Essendon in 2005 or whatever it was.

 

[Bluelegs]

Geez Richmond have the most fairweather supporter base.

Not like us. Our attendance is terrible win lose or draw.

Speaking of commentary memories, do you guys also remember when they tried to make Maxwell a boundary rider

They really do just give any prominent retiree a year or two to have a crack. Jones got discarded to the sidelines this year for Selwood.

Have a feeling Selwood will be there for the long haul even though he's terrible.

 

[Proper Gander]

Oh yes

Yeah Jones was pretty bad too, his voice just doesn't vibe with it.

I did have to look it up but he is still part of the commentary line up this year, but Selwood certainly is the new toy. Shame it's a shit product

Sounded like he was pulled straight out of a pub in Frankston.

 

[Bluelegs]

Lmao after all the useless goal reviews they've had to start the season they mess up the clear behind.

Umps are having a mare.

This is quite the fuel for some Richmond supporters

 

[PerfectFooty]

Is it just me or have they somewhat relaxed on the dangerous tackle so far this season?

 

[MarcMaverick]

True, I was saying in general.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Just been on Tigs Board. 52 pages just on this game alone. More than this thread.

One of these field umpires is wearing a cap which is a different look from the umps

Your thoughts, Headless?

 

[Daemon]

Am I going nuts? I don't think Wright should even get looked at for that, he's basically hit him in the head because he's taller and running faster at the footy. He's not for one second gone into that contest with any other thoughts that to go for the footy, you suspend him for that then you all key forwards are gonna be Josh Schache

I agree. Nothing in it. Hope it gets cleared at tribunal.

 

[Headless]

Your thoughts, Headless?

Delightful surprise. There should be more of this. Imagine the suspense pre-game before seeing which hats the umpires opted for. Huge.

This WCE side is just horrible. Never seen a worse Eagles team. Why would Reid stick around? GTFO young man

 

[Jamurp]

West Coast are so grim, Adam Simpson worst premiership coach of all time.

Re: Rising star... Reid has been fine, but there is a fair difference between he and Wardlaw from what ive seen over these two rounds (to be expected as GW is a second year player) Prices are: Reid 3.50 Wardlaw 4 McKerecher 5 Sanders 5 Walter 13 Windsor 15. Think the value is in Wardlaw and Windsor, Wardlaw should be clear fav imo.
