With no crowd to make a noise it is amazing the things you hear.

The sound of boots near the boundary 

The players calling "BALL"

The sound of boot kicking the footy

The umpire exhaling as he bounces the footy.

Traditional values, suburban footy, the game of the people, except there are no people!

The sound of people scratching their heads trying to work out why the AFL persist with this match up as the first game of the season

Yeah, what's with that? Carlton persistently treated as royalty, when in reality they're basically only Harry and that American lady.

 

It was quite interesting. Nice to have a sporting event without being drowned out with music like the big bash.

Just wait until next week when the AFL realise that the game is missing that tacky and crass element and they need to do cheapen things up a bit.

The missus reckons I‘ve said “[censored] this [censored]...I hate both these [censored] teams”, early in the first quarter for the past 4 years..

The rain... sounded like polite applause.

If you've ever used the now non-existent AFL Sports Ears, you'd have had the pleasure of hearing many interesting things through the mic.

My personal favourite was Razor Ray hoicking (sp?) up and spitting out phlegm almost every time he was about to do a centre bounce.

While I didn't bother watching the game last night, because Melbourne wasn't playing, I am appreciative that we have footy to watch. Glad the AFL and Clubs are doing what they can to make it work under the circumstances.

Commentators breaking wind?

Remember how we used to cough loudly to cover up the sound of us breaking wind?  Now it's the other way around.

What are the odds of the Weagles running a crowd sound track during our game.  Pre-Recorded "BALLLLLL!" everytime we get near the footy.

For me the game really lacked atmosphere and it took away from the viewing. Especially when Carlton was mounting a comeback.

While I'm so happy we can still watch footy, and while I'm looking forward to our game on Sunday, there is no doubt that the crowd and the involvement of the fans is what makes our game so special.

 

...hmm, not that in six months time no one will be able to go to a game....


The absence of opposition fans baying for tiggy-touch free kicks was refreshing. 

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed watching last night's game, which possibly reflects my preference for high-level skills, athleticism and game plans over crowd atmosphere.  Mind you, I was bored after 3 quarters of Richmond getting away with slapping the ball upwards (against the rules back in the day) and their flukey goal kicking.

always enjoyed watching behind closed door soccer games for this very reason, it's interesting hearing the players communicate with each other.

 

Reckon they'll eventually add some sort of noise on the broadcast tho

Haven’t seen any video - are players still spitting onto the ground? 
 

yuk

Why wouldn't they?

You never got a gobfull of slag during a game of footy?

Disgusting yes, but a part of high intensity sport.

Didnt listen to radio coverage.

Did they use canned sound?

  • 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.

    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.
