MCG sound system

What was with the poor sound quality for 'It's a grand old flag'after the game?

I was hoping it would boom out over the stadium but all we got was a cra&%py muted version.

Someone from the G read this and have it fixed and on full volume for when we smash Richmond next Sunday!

 

Its full of cobwebs. Its been awhile since it was last played.

Should be back to full strength against the Tigs,

You're right about the sound, I was middle deck Ponsford and couldn't even hear the start of it. Same story every week in the Ponsford Stand - you can't hear anything.

Except when everything goes quiet at quarter time and you can hear them playing Pink and/or Run To Paradise :huh:

 

If someone has a contact at the club, please let them know (I might email them later). They might be able to 'turn it up to 11'

I honestly believe it's because of idiots who ring up and complain about the "health hazards" of really loud speakers. I agree that there can be a level of sound that's simply too loud (to the point that it hurts), but we need to find a middle level, where everyone's satisfied.

Yes some of the Quarter Time & Half Time Music played at the MCG is quite Bizarre!!! My 76 year old Dad gets Furious sometimes bcoz he can't hear the Race Results!!

B)

Classic my dad-saw all the Glory Years, and knew quite a few of the players of those days.

Agree, the song was definitely too quiet... although that may have been because 23,300 mad Demon supporters were going ape [censored]...

Just sent an email to them. Yay for democracy.

Pretty sure it was nothing to do with the crowd.

Fwiw I thought the crowd noise was less than it was in our wins versus Brisbane and Freo last year, for exampe.

 

The wind was very swirly and strong on Sunday, perhaps it had something to do with that, but I noticed it as well, you could hardly hear the start of the song. If only they showed such discretion with the mega-decibel ads they blast on the screen at any break, I can almost hear them from my house...

I was in the Southern Stand and it sounded fine.

the sound system problem at MCG is NOTHING new....it has been a problem for years.

I never heard the siren when we played Collingwood....thought we had marked the ball ready to kick the winning score...sadly not.

I was in the Southern and couldn't hear it very well (and likewise with the people around me).

It's definitely too soft.

Whether or not there are OHS restrictions or something like that that prevent the sound from being turned up, I don't know. But anything coming out of those speakers gets drowned out too easily at the moment.

Guarantee the Magpies song was louder.

There can't possibly be a noise limit. Think of how noisy some blockbuster games are (especially when the game is close), such as Melbourne vs the Filth, Melbourne vs Carlton, Melbourne vs Essendon...

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
