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.

    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?

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

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