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

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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
