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.

Feel free to add yours

 

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
