Casey vs. Essendon

[Lampers]

Howes and Woewodin starting the last on the wings.

 

[Lampers]

We complain about AFL commentators, and I know these blokes are probably being paid with a free lunch, but they are horrendous.

 

[Lampers]

Dunstan kicks a goal from about 40 our after a 50 penalty following two quick ones from Essendon.

Casey up 84-73.

 

[Lampers]

No replays and the commentators getting players’ names wrong constantly makes this a tricky watch.

 

[Lampers]

The number of blatant holds with jumpers billowing out from body being missed by the umpires is phenomenal.

 

[Lampers]

Rosman redeems himself with a well judged mark in defence over McDonald-Tipingwuti.

These commentators are pus.

 

[Lampers]

Woewodin roves the pack at CHF after Daw crashes it, habdpass over to Casey listed Steele for an easy goal.

Casey 90-73

 

[Lampers]

One of these commentators is literally barracking for Essendon.

 

[Fork n Hell]

yeah the commentary was that bad i turned it off after about 5 minutes. there wasn't much point listening to them anyway because they don't even know who the players are.

 

[Lampers]

McVee some great attacks on the ball, has courage.

Essendon riding a good run of umpiring and it’s now Casey 90-87.

 

[stEdy]

Thanks for the updates - appreciate it!

 

[Lampers]

Casey players getting obvious whack high and in the back - play on.

Essendon frees for anything remotely looking like high.

Casey almost kicks a goal “Oh no” goes Essendon supporting commentator floggo.

 

[Bluelegs]

That commentator was hilarious.

 

[Scythe]

That commentary was the worst thing I've ever heard lol

 

[Lampers]

McDonald-Tipingwuti kicking to win it after siren from 50 after a free (what else?). Falls short. Suck it floggo Essendon supporting commentator and crowd - losers.

Casey win 91-88

 

[Fork n Hell]

i think that commentator was that Riley Beveridge twat. god knows how he ever landed himself a job working for the AFL.

 

[Lampers]

Back to what this means for Melbourne. Nobody smashing the door down so I’ll bunch them in the positions they were playing as that’s probably the best guide as to who may be in line if required.

Ruck: Daw

Onball: Dunstan, Melksham, Laurie briefly

Wings: Howes, Woewodin, Melksham

Backs: D.Smith, Rosman, McVee

Forwards: Bedford, Chandler, Moniz-Wakefield, M.Brown, Laurie

I didn’t see much of Mitch Brown in the second half so not sure if injured or managed (or I just didn’t see him).

Laurie looking anything like a chance to play AFL any time soon or nah? Who would you pick out of the small forwards if you had to choose one for the AFL?

 

[rhaz]

Apparently Brown copped a whack off the ball earlier in the game and didn't come back on.

JVR was a late out, so the team was missing tall forwards Weideman, M. Brown and JVR from last week.

I watched the second half, streamed from afl.

The commentators were atrocious. love fest for McDonald-Tipungwuti; and a love fest for the sounds of they're own voices.

 

[SugarHealey]

yeah the commentary was that bad i turned it off after about 5 minutes. there wasn't much point listening to them anyway because they don't even know who the players are.

I turned off, the last ten minutes. Because of the commentators.

Bedford if it’s as a pressure forward you want.

Chandler if it’s offence you want.

Moniz-Wakefield shows glimpses of a similar style to Bedford, but he’s miles off it.

Laurie is at least showing signs of why he was drafted. He reminds me of Spargo in that he’s not athletically gifted but he seems a good decision maker and kick. I still think he’d be behind several at this stage, be it Bedford and Chandler as a forward, or any number of others as a mid.

or not calling the player because they just don't know who the players was with the ball.

JVR was a late out, so the team was missing tall forwards Weideman, M. Brown and JVR from last week.

I saw the aftermath of the Brown incident with him on the ground on the half forward flank. I did think “Geez, I wonder what happened, it was way off the ball” but I think the commentators were screaming about McDonald-Tipingwuti and it distracted me.

Mitch White was a fair forward target, but his lack of size did cost him a few opportunities a JVR, Brown or Weid probably would’ve gobbled.

I do hope Kade gets another chance at some stage, played some really good footy in the VFL last year in the games I saw and was sub a ridiculous amount of times.
