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!ย 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.ย 

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

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

Cannot believe with todayโ€™s technology that this is not possible, as always, itโ€™s about the money.

Yes and he pulls it off quite well actually. Many people donโ€™t function at all well when the camera is rolling live to air


BT is a legend. Love the roaming Brian. He actually always says the Dees are very open and accomodate his interviews. Great stuff all round.ย

To be honest I prefer Roaming Brian, where he is intentionally being a tool for a bit of light hearted entertainment, to Commentary Brian, where his toolery interferes with the actual call.ย 

Intentional?

Natural?

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

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.ย 

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.ย

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

This plastic society.

ย 

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

ย 

Maybe its the media-bosses and the Advertising executives,ย  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.

The only opportunity we get to see the engine room after a game and seeย  the happiness on the faces of players, family and Staff, loved it...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...ย  as well as the adults.ย ย  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. Itโ€™s brilliant.

Shame about the result.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
