Now I've really lost it. You forgot the apostrophe in "people's"

Jesus. Thanks Sue. Even I'm starting to slip up now. Schoolboy error!

    I quite liked Drysdale Demons post about listening to CD's while watching the games rather than the commentary.

    Any suggestions for Freo vs the Bombers.

    Perhaps some good sea shanties

    I've been doing this for years.   Most beneficial for your mental health and your ears.

    However, the staff member has just arrived back from overseas and has had no contact with the club.

    That's a relief! Only heard the headline and thought that may be it for a while.

    As have I, since it was only on free to air.

    It's a strange phenomenon, dd.  When we attend a game in person, we manage fine without idiot commentators yelling and screaming at us and telling us what we can see with our own eyes.  Yet people subject themselves to this torture when watching on TV. :blink:

    Agree.  The only useful thing they do is familiarise me with the names of oppo players.

    I've previously shied away form suggesting it would be better if they  shut up and we just heard the umpires mike because I thought there would be too much audble swearing.  But after the broadcast of the last couple of games it seems this is not a problem.  Listem as I might I didn't hear one word which would fall foul of the Demonland censor.

    Tasmania just announced it's requiring everyone from the mainland to self isolate if they come to the State.

    Lucky there's no Tasmanian team

    And now the Northern Territory has announced a 14 day self isolation period for interstate and overseas visitors.

    I think they delete the swearing.

    For remote indigenous communities this makes good sense but I'm not sure I agree with the wider bans especially for Australians.

    How? The Audio doesn't appear to be on any delay and I can't imagine it being done by clever software because of the confused conditions with multiple voices and echos.

    I'm not sure, I heard a commentator on SEN who does the tv commentary tell someone on thursday that swearing was somehow deleted.

    Actually maybe it's my failing hearing, but I can't understand anything the players say, swearing or not.  Umpires are very clear but often the broadcasters turn  their volume up and down.  Maybe the swearing is deleted by muffling everything?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
