Thanks for that.

What a difference. The crowd noise is so much better and I'm surprised it's better without the umpire noise as well.

Just a reminder too of how brilliant Jack Watts is.

It's the one percenters that go unnoticed. He solved one of Hilbert's 23 problems at 3/4 time. Of course it didn't make the papers.

Never tire of watching that. Great to hear commentators that know our player's names and aren't simply talking about themselves.

Loved the "That's it! They've won!" after Tyson's first goal.

thankyou , watched every second of that again !

 


Absolutely brilliant. Up there with Round 22 1987 and the Elimination vs North and the Semi vs Sydney in 87. Never ever tire of watching those. A key link - the incomparable Tim Lane. "The G was awash with red and blue...." etc etc Fantastic! By the way, that number 4 can play a bit as well....

The umpire noise drives me insane! All you hear is then yelling play on or maxy, maxy! Adds very little and takes away plenty. If umpire explanations needed the commentators can listen to the umpire shyte. 

End rant

Tyson is a star. Will be an absolute gun with Lewis beside him and a rising Oliver, Petracca, Salem, Brayshaw and Viney.


I wasn't a big fan of Tony Leonard when he first started calling, but he's definitely improved over the years.

He and Tim make for a good combination, and I particularly enjoy listening to them call a close game. 

Thanks for posting. 

Edit: Just on the crowd noise, if you look up at the radio boxes in the Olympic stand you'll see that they have mics pointing out the window to capture the atmosphere. It works in our favour because we own that side of the ground. 

 

This is so good. Thank you. This is what TV broadcasting should use as a template in my opinion.

Tony Leonard will explode one afternoon calling a game. Let us never forget his phone calls on a saturday morning.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
