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!

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.

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.

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

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!!!!!!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
