Yes your last point is a good one. But seriously do prefer Bruce and Brian to the sweet sound of silence? I wonder if anyone has done a trial of a telecast sports game without commentary but sounds of the crowd etc?

Don't know about anyone else, but we make so much crowd noise from our lounge room, especially when the umpires are making suspect decisions or non-decisions, the whole neighbourhood can probably hear us! The commentary is the background noise.

    When I have to watch 7 I either watch it with no sound or have a radio station for sound. There is a lot to be said for no sound. It is like watching a game live, you don't get commentary at the ground why do we need it at home?

    Why not just take the hearing aid out, old dee?

    Foxtel did it for a few AFL games in the early 2000s. 

    I recall being at a friends place watching an AFL game and pressing the red button on the remote to turn the commentary off and change camera angles. It was a bit clunky but definitely could have been refined into something quite good. 

    Below is an example of how it looked with the rugby. The audio could be changed to commentators off  but still with crowd noise on and I think their was an option to have the umpires audio feed as well.

    Cannot believe with today’s technology that this is not possible, as always, it’s about the money.

    Yes and he pulls it off quite well actually. Many people don’t function at all well when the camera is rolling live to air

    What gets right up my goat is when Brian & Co get totally side tracked when calling the game and start drivaling on about completely irrelevant rubbish - just shut the f#@* up already.

    Me too.  And most of it is name dropping or showing off in some other way.

    His multiple endless rants during the game about the Melbourne players having dinner at Lever's place during the game the other night.  BT "I've got conections" - wooooo, for real, give me a break FFS.

    Like that time they spent a quarter prattling on about Leigh Montana's (?) Mexican themed birthday party and how they had uploaded it to Instagram. 

    Genuinely cringe worthy stuff.

    I didn't mind roaming Brian the other night. I mean if he is doing it that means your team has won, which is good. Plus it's the first time I really got to hear anything from Gary Pert.

    What we've learnt from (Brian) Ch 7 and others is that Jake Lever is a cook maybe  suitable   MKR ?  Demonland posters Poor maligned Trac for Fattest Losers and Married  at First Sight any of our young eligible players (bachelors) in the off season to keep their fitness levels in check. Give Stephen  May the producers ph. no please.

    The generation that like this stuff are bored and cynical.  looking for more.... maybe because of all the rubbish told to them on the media.   Almost force-fed rubbish.. is all they've seen.

    This plastic society.

     

    Maybe going back to ore organic honest commentary...  and honest appraisal without any bling comment attached,  is the antidote to all this feed-lot mentality.

     

    Maybe its the media-bosses and the Advertising executives,  doing the very same things the Former AFL stars and their EGO's spread on our daily bread for us, from our waking moment to our time of shut-eye.

    I understand the "engine room" access, but why does it need to in such a moronic, juvenile and dense way. I just dont get it..

    Their viewers are all age groups, and surely the AFL would want this inside access to appeal to the kids...  as well as the adults.   Lets not over sophisticate it.

    Not AFL, but I have a version of the last few minutes of the 2003 Rugby World Cup. All you hear is the referees directives and the crowd. It’s brilliant.

    Shame about the result.

    • 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.
