MFC Fans Only Non-Dees AFL Discussion - 2017 - Finals. And yes , again its non Dees discussion

[Deemanding]

Mackie (or similar) could've shot someone in the Port forward 50 in that last quarter, and it still wouldn't have been a free kick.

* Geelong, * the umps, * the saliva expended on Dangerwood's balls by ling & Co each week and * Geelong.

 

[PerfectFooty]

I haven't a team so hard robbed since Fitzroy went down to adelaide. Port were ******* robbed hard.

Now we gotta listen to a utensil suck fest all weekend, Dangerwank's face smeared all over TV for the week. Duckwood being called a champ. Gotta listen to pretender aspirations despite their constant getting out of jail

 

[PerfectFooty]

Hawthorn i at least respected as a foe, but geelong are a ******* joke that they get away with so much s**t

 

[Proper Gander]

Cats are definitely the commentators picks as their favourite.

I'm actually tired of the one sided commentary. I was neutral completely in that game but still got fed up. Why can't they just call it professionally? Ugh

 

[Tempy Tiger]

That was appalling umpiring. There needs to be more scrutiny on the umpires performance. Players have every decision scrutinised and get a lot of heat from the media as soon as their form drops off. Umpires put in a disgraceful game like tonight but their boss will come out and say it was well umpired. It's a farce.

This year has seen the worst umpiring I can remember. They should be getting better. There are three of them now, which was meant to help and they earn good coin. Why are they getting worse?

If foxtel had an option for "Press red to mute the commentators and keep crowd noise" i'd throw all my money at them

It's odd, i think HTB is actually being well adjudicated this year, but everything else has gone to s**t

I agree that there has been some truly horrific umpiring this year ... but the 3 umpire system came in in 1994 ... so I think the statute of limitations on using that as a reason for expecting improvement has probably passed

I sometimes mute the telly and put music on. Cricket and AFL commentary doesn't add that much to the game.

True, just wish i could keep the crowd noise for atmosphere

 

[PerfectFooty]

Don't know why i'm getting so salty over geelong beating port adelaide, honestly feels like we just lost to them

 

[Dark Avenger]

Some good options here. Lynch may possibly be celebrating 50 years since Are You Experienced was released.

For some reason I read that as Are you Being Served?

If he comes out wearing 45 on the weekend, you'll know he's read your post and is a fan.

I just know you had to google that because if you didn't then you are a concerning person.

There are far too many Geelong fans in the commentary box and media in general.
Ling is a one eyed goose and don't even get me started on the weekly Geelong circle jerk that is The Footy Show

For test cricket, I mute the tv and play ABC Grandstand on the radio. A little bit of pause and play and you can sync them up pretty well.

I've been thinking about trying this for footy ... feels as if its the fact they're on TV that makes commentators infinitely more insufferable.

If you don't mind the inconvenience, you can replicate Friday night football commentary by muting the TV, opening the bathroom door and repeatedly flushing the toilet all match. So convincing you won't know it's not Bruce.

Also makes ad breaks more enjoyable

I used to do that whenever Bob Menzies spoke on radio or tv. My mother thought that the sun shone out of his a-hole.

Not sure recruiting Zak Jones will help anything, we don't need another tough mid with average skills.

Threw a stupid, undisciplined jab just before ... he'll fit right in.

That being said, he'll get away with it playing for Sydney, but will get 4 weeks playing for Melbourne.

 

[schmuttt]

Also changed my mind Tippett would be a s**t pickup.

 

[Deemanding]

Absolute disgrace that we've got the same number of wins as Hawthorn. Their percentage is 79.1 and ours is 108.6.
