The rain... sounded like polite applause.

Hah, the Mcc again,  to the sounds of  'Raindrops keep fallin' on my Head'.

 

Only gobfull I got was from coach - reckon I wasn’t going in hard enough. 
Radar thinks - you wouldn’t go in too hard either if you had to do 14 hour nightshift after game

Didnt listen to radio coverage.

Did they use canned sound?

Nope. ABC said you get it as it is.

Clearly heard players yelling, Dylan Grimes said they could hear commentators. Could hear rain lashing the plastic  seats one time

the ball pinging into the goal post and the wobbling sound as the post shakes! "wugga, wugga, wugga"

 


The sound of a smotherer getting finger tips on the ball.

I’ve noticed the umpires so far this round are picking up touched kicks far more regularly than last year.

I also notice Bontempelli trying it on the claim a mark with the umpire’s screams of “Touched, play on” echoing across the ground. I wonder if the umpires will show less mercy to the player for these and 50 metre penalty situations given the players should be hearing all the calls.

It's so good now to clearly hear the actual sounds of the game, players, umpires, ball etc. again.  takes me back to when I was playing and heard all that.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
