At the Geelong game, the anthems were barely audible at the G! Seriously, they were set so low it was outrageous. I've noticed at the games this year that the volume has been set pretty low, what muppet has been complaining in order to cause that?

Anyone else notice this? They set it a little higher when Melbourne ran out, but still so low. And no, I'm not an old fuddy duddy or require hearing aids!

Completely agree.

After our win I couldn't sing along with the song as I couldn't even here it, it took me a while to figure out if it was even being played or not.

I've noticed this for the last few weeks at the G - it's hopeless on level 2!

Saving the speakers for the advertisements...

The atmosphere at the footy these days with all the ads and the rock/pop music blaring, especially before the game, is just crap. I used to enjoy going to the game early to read the record/paper and chat to my mates about the upcoming game...

(and I'm only in my 20's)

Yeah, the volume is certainly a problem. It's hard to get excited about our boys running through the banner when "It's a Grand Old Flag" is barely audible.

The atmosphere at the footy these days with all the ads and the rock/pop music blaring, especially before the game, is just crap.

I agree, what especially annoys me is that the music doesn't stop until just before the opening bounce of each quarter. I think against Richmond, it kept playing in the first few seconds of the game.

And who amongst us needs some announcer to come on at quarter and half time to tell us the score?

I mean really, are we football fans or what?

The music is too loud and the ads too intrusive. As for the theme song, well that should be blared, but as an MCC member I was recently surveyed by the cricket ground administration and lodged a complaint about the public address volume.

Maybe it's my fault, but I did not ask them to turn down the volume on our song - just the rest of the audio garbage.

....

Yes. Tony Schibecci tells us the score. Mind you at three quarter time he got the margin wrong after telling us the scores. C'mon Schibec-star, lift your game.

I also noticed this on the weekend too. I couldn't hear (NOT that i reallycare) the SEN boys who do their pre-match/half time comments etc... However, whenever the advertisments come on, it's noticeable straight away... I wish the MCG would just get it right. Agreed that it takes away from the 'footy' experience.

DAMN RIGHT...this needs to be fixed. I suggest fans either email AFL or MCC (suit yourself which one), this requires a wall of protest so its fixed pronto :angry:

Discussed this with the Mrs. the last few games. On the ground level in the open in the AFL you can't hear the songs at all. Makes the team entry onto the ground rather flat.

I also noticed its so low they shuold turn it up very loud it just creates an atmosphere.

Atm its wayyyyyyyy to low.

Presentation before the game is total junk these days. The supporter is treated with contempt. TV Audience Rule.

This was always going to Happen once the Reserves were scrapped.

YES !!! I top have noticed this. TURN IT UP !! we don't hear it at the end of games much at the moment, We should at least be able to hear it before games. I am going to complain to the MCG. Can someone also put a microphone in front of the trumpeter before the MFC home games, They did last year. There is nothing worse than seeing him play the song before the game and not being able to hear it !!! It stirs the emotions hearing it's a grand on flag on the trumpet.

Stynesy should stand with the Trumpeter & call all supporters to be upstanding. We should do some different things Pre Game.

Great Idea, but wait until we start winning a few!

<EDIT> Has anybody else noticed that ever since the trumpeter has turned up we have been going badly? Maybe he is to blame after all

Posted

Yes, definitely too soft.

In regards to the trumpeter, am I the only one who thinks the effect is lost when he starts playing at the same time as the (albeit soft) song comes on over the speakers as the team runs out? I would much prefer him to do it when there's no other noise, so that everyone can hear him.

At the carlton richmond game earlier this year I could not hear myself think it was that loud with music and infomercials etc. I am in my 30 and love loud music but this was just a horrible experience.....and then I had to watch Richmond!!!!!!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
