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.

    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

    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.

    • 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.
