Remember when you could take sandwiches to the footy?

Remember when the ground had green grass instead of advertising all over it .

Kids could sell peanuts or lollies that were just plain peanuts or lollies?

The announcements at quarter time were for cars blocking other cars or lost kids?

I'm just over the Coke Betair NAB Carlton United Hungry Jacks GWS ,Etihad ,McDonalds ,KFC crap and all the inflation that goes with the whole "EVENT" and it's management .Fans from all clubs should fight this crap and refuse the AFLS food ,music , Venues ,sponsors ,"entertainment" ,bad TV deals ,new bogus clubs and the constant shiiling of [censored].

    It is played in the MCC reserve just as loudly too, so no one is spared. Its great to chat about how good or bad a quarter has just been and with BARNESY pumping at 11 it is bloody hard to hear anything. The only song i want to hear at the ground is Grand Old Flag.

    and they go 'at the end of the first quarter its the dees trailing the pies by 15 points' over the loudspeaker.. yeah there's a couple of scoreboards dhead.. I gues the announcement is for all the blind dudes that come to watch a game of footy

    i can handle the scores and goal kickers,even the SEN guys warbling on, that's footy. But the loud music has no relevance. Give the crowd a chance to take a breath.

    I was at a Final in 2002 or 2003 involving Collingwood and saw 2 Pie fans rip a speaker out of the wall in the standing room area ! No more noise !

    Maybe we could recruit some of the filth to do our dirty work ?

    Wouldn't "Aussie Rules Supporters Entity" be a better title - the acronym works better.

    That stupid bouncing rice cracker!!

    To this day I've never bought a packet of these things . Because of the incessant advertising of the product at the G during 1 Grand Final .

    Sometimes advertising doesn't work .

    Just on the noise at the G - there are spots which are "quieter" than others . Standing room isn't too bad and the bars are ok as well .

    Just means you have to leave your seat a bit but it's better than being treated like a "subject" in "1984" or the like !

    Well I guess that they think Pies fans cannot subtract 30 from 45, or maybe even read the names on the scoreboard ?

    But yes, bloody annoying, and pointless.

    Ha ha ha ! Sometimes it comes down to principles and for some of us we take a stand . More people should do it but alas ...............

    It's all part of our easy going nature (generally) . I'm not sure that the sports fans in the U.S or the U.K would put up with the ear piercing adverts but I may be wrong .

    Next season will be interesting. There are a lot of cynical footy fans out there, not just on here. The game will survive but i do wonder about the broadcasting deal. Who has time to watch 9 games a week!!!

    Big Risk.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
