At first I thought, "Fantastic!" Then I wondered about half-time breaks, maybe with a boosted sound system...

    yeah, it's enough to make you want to go outside for a smoko at half time :lol:

    big sales of noise equalising headphones coming up !! :)

    Half time? I'm normally out there at the 20 minute mark of the first quarter then down to the bar to drown my sorrows for the rest of the game - hopefully we'll be more competitive next year and I can kick 2 habits :)

    I don't see the need for bigger screens - I actually go to the game TO WATCH THE FOOTY LIVE!!!

    If they turn the volume up on the loudspeakers to accompany the bigger screens, and we have to hear more from that half-time announcing nuisance, I will both scream and vomit.

    And please, no more betfair commercials or whatever gambling institution the AFL chooses for the 2014 season.

    I would get rid of the screens if it meant also getting rid of the shrieking PA system.

    Thank God Kliptch make superb headphones.

    The thought of being subjected to Bon Jovi dirges at half time and other breaks at max volume is enough to consider staying home.

    What happened to discussing the game with mates at the breaks MCC???

    I'm with the noise-cancelling headphone brigade. I particularly hate idiots on PA systems trying to ginger up the crowd. It is so phoney. I wonder how they don't die of embarrassment doing it. Even more concerning is that some people may actually like it.

    I dont mind watching the screen when a replay or such is presented. Often my eyes cant always pick up whats going on 150 m away . I dont mind a bit of pizaz..or rock..or whatever.. but I dont need it blasted out to me at the footy. I go to concerts for that !! :)

    I'm in the headphone bridage.

    A bigger screen is great I often get caught out, looking ahead to where the ball may end up, who's on a lead etc. or turn back to see what happened behind the play,then miss something in play.

    But dont hype up the game with crap , part of the experience being there is the raw emotion from supporters. if they have to gee up the crowd, then I'm afraid our great game is on the decline. Its BLOODY annoying at 1/2 time, putting up with music being belted out while discussing with friends aspects of the game, or having some banter with the enemy.Just for the record I love music I used to play in a band,but I go to the footy to watch and discuss the footy.

    Perhaps a few of us could take a footy to a Bon Jovi concert and kick it around. Horses for courses.

    ......It could be in response to some of the MFC games last year, where the supporters were either sitting in dead silence with their heads in hands, or drinking to forget.....seriously the music is not that loud, although I agree some of the ground announcers I could live without...........

    No offence to Robbo the nice guy and Dees champion, but the match day announcing made pre-game and the breaks almost as depressing as when the team was out there on the field. A bit over the top

    I have been onto this for years but my complaints to MCC fall on deaf (maybe deafened) ears.

    One of the joys of our game is idle and sometimes animated banter with both friends and with strangers before the game and during breaks.

    Unfortunately those who presumably spend their breaks behind the glass, with a glass, don't give a stuff.

    Vlad has always tried to "Americanize the game" and this incessant amplified noise is just too much.

    IMO if he loves all things American then please just leave us along and go and live there.

    PS: Nothing wrong with a big screen - helps those of us with failing distance vision to see what is going on the opposite side of the field.

    PA system noise is like the white jumper I will no doubt not notice either when we are in front at half time and maintain that till the end.

    • 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 forecastā€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze ā€” 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isnā€™t a standard conceptā€”itā€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. Ā We filled our boots with percentage ā€” now a whopping 520.7% ā€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneā€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnā€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's Ā six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamā€™s unfulfilled potential rang true ā€¦ well, almost.Ā
