It starts.... Again

Collingwood v Richmond

My main interest will be in the cardboard cut outs and what "celebrities" have snuck under the radar.

Will miss Cox as he is entertaining to watch from a contest viewpoint.

Richmond by 20 if not more

    The cheering crowd very suddenly going quiet after the first goal was a real mood-breaker.

    Didn’t like the kneeling.  Looked derivative and tacky to me. 

    I didn’t like it.

    I understand they wanted to do something in solidarity, but it looked tacky and staged; like a Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad.  They were safe and risking nothing.

    Do it during the finals when the national anthem plays... then that’d be a real statement.

    Watched for about 2 minutes. Thought Howe shirked it going back with the flight of the ball. Game not too interesting yet, might wait till Saturday.

    Bruce is trying to pump it up, but it is dead flat

    Agreed.

    I thought the problem with round one was that the commentators and producers focused too much on how unusual it all was.  

    Hopefully this time around they focus on the footy and the rest will become part of the ‘new normal’.  
     

    The less attention drawn to the differences, the better.

    Must say I had to turn it down.  Please give us some less over the top commentary.

    Richmond fumbling and Pies taking their chances.

    It’s aaalmost ok. Like I said earlier, the sudden mood-shifts from post-goal jubilation into non-plussed ambience are a bit naff. Would be kinda hilarious to watch the sound effects person “mixing” this.

    I wish you could turn off certain commentators or pick which commentators you could listen too.  Bruce is just painful to listen to these days.

    NRL tried a game with the noise then a game without it last week. So much better with the canned crowd.

    Howe looks chit.

    Pies look really good but still not far enough in front.

    Wouldn’t it be great having Melb centric commentators for Melb games but also all games haha.

    On the radio up here in Brisbane, they were saying the NRL were concerned about the body crashes with no crowd noise, they were worried it would turn parents off having their kids play the game.

    The technology cannot be that far away, pick your anchor commentators, pick special comments and then your boundary commentators.  It would easily show who the public wanted to listen too.

    I wish they'd increase the volume on the fake crowd and drown out the commentators.  I've watched a lot of old matches recently and the quality of commentating was so much better.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
