That's what I'm listening to too, plus a bonus of knowing what's going to happen before it happens on the TV...

I can't bring myself to support the drug cheats. 

I cant ever think of any real reason to barrack for them either.... If the swans get in  the 8, we just have to beat them, simple. We cant pick and choose who wed like to play in September.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

How good would Zach Merrett look in a dees jumper!

Business opportunity for anyone who is smart and tech savvy. Make a digital radio app whose signal you can delay to sync with your TV.

Youve just given radio stations massive increases in revenue.

Do it.

abc doesn't get revenue from advertising, of course...

i would think the opportunity is more there for the afl in the 2023-2030 rights deal, where they sell the 'coverage' direct to consumers and the viewer can pick their commentary of choice

Bizarre - it was one of the selling points when digital radio was first being introduced...

Foxtel should be allowed to do this already!

not likely, when they pay their commentators a small fortune

they take the direct c7 feed of course, as stipulated in the rights agreement

[CanberraDemon 214]

Combined total of 4.13 - is this game being played at Etihad with the aircon blowing towards goal at both ends of the ground?

(and of course a goal gets scored just after I hit submit)

Goal scored

Sydney kicking themselves out of this game. Umps yet to declare who they support before they put their bets on.

We know who the commentators will support......

I reckon the revenue is actually in the visual advertising inside the app itself, where you rebroadcast any content you want. 

As for the 'next' broadcast deal by then there'll be multiple work arounds for the crap we are served up. Technology is driven by demand that is more conscious then the dumb supply chain we currently have.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Sydney don't seem to be moving the ball as confidently as in previous years.

3 bottles of red should do the trick!

Channel 7 - PLEASE stop showing that angle of the Bomber coach's box - having terrible flashbacks seeing Neeld in a coach's box!!!

Decided to turn it into a drinking game. Every time they show the bomber box with 'he who should never be seen' I'll take a shot. Should be well and truly hammered by the end of the night and tomorrow I'll have forgotten I ever saw him!

[dees189227 12,429]

This game hasn't been great to watch skills wise. Players slipping over, missed marks and shocking kicks at goals. 

Please sydney just beat them, in fact thrash them. Yes I know that means sydney will be 1 game behind us but cant seeing the bummers win. especially smug daniher who thinks he is walking on air. What is it about him that makes you want to slap him in the face? 

These players have just been given a pay rise due to the new agreement but seriously start kicking the goals. 

also it worries me Buddy hasnt got into the game yet. If he has a quiet tonight then he will be fired up for  abig one next week. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,629]

Amazing inaccuracy by both teams on what is a still night.

The commentary is seriously annoying me. To state the obvious why do they have to tell me what I can see for myself.

Gentle understatement rising to the crescendo when deserved is the way to go. AFL is fun but it doesn't need or merit pubescent shouting at every stage.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,073]

Heppell is missing the gear. 

[monoccular 17,595]

Just watched a few minutes mid 3rd Q - are Essundone coached by Ian Meckiff?  Got away with three or four throws inside a minute.  

[PaulRB 6,411]

Both teams playing average... Swans will love having turned it into a slugfest. 

Be interesting next week.

I'm an idiot.

A lot of players look like they're they're trying to turn around on ice.

A cowpat would look good in a Melbourne jumper!

But on Merret, it's amazing that this day in age, with the investments by clubs in recruiting and junior development, that a player of that quality can slide so far in a draft.
