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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
