He has looked ok but Pickett's debut was every bit as good. You clearly have a short memory.

Sorry I donโ€™t remember writing that post.ย

Time we had some "truth in broadcasting"

1. Location of commentators

2. Crowd noise.... real or supplemented

And while we're at it gt rid of Bruce and BT. Bruce has notes a la his old Olympic days about favourite players. It's boring.

I don't need them to tell me "he kicks the ball forward" etc etc

I couldn't stand anymore tonight DJ. Hit the mute button and I synced up the radio. So much more enjoyable.ย 

Bruce is now unlistenable,ย  I can't handle it.ย

I wanted him over Pickett in the draft when the word got around thatย we were after a small forward in the first round.

Time will tell, but hopefully both will be guns and provide X-factor for the fans.

I did too. I also wanted Green or Young instead of Jackson. Rivers was one of the two I wanted onceย we got the 20s pick however. Iย think we made the wrong choices with the high picks, but itโ€™s in the past now and I support the players that are now in red and blue. Pickett is very exciting and shows glimpses of greatness.

Doggies are probably the best team to watch in 2020. They win contested ball but also have a good fast brand played through the corridor. Theyย have genuine stars and X factor. Good to see them beating some of the less like able teams!

If TV's are supposedly smart as we are told, why can't we have "commentary off" and "crowd effects on" options?

Would set both of thoseย to default on any Chanel 7 AFL programs if they did.

Essendon's percentage dropping by more 15 and going back down under 100, and likely dropping out of the eight, is always a welcome part of any round of football.

It's a note on the sheet abotu how long scoring this season has been, too.ย  Our percentage may look pretty rough at 87% but that is still only a 40 point margin.

Geelong's spot on the ladder is largely the product of their one good smashing... of Hawthorn.ย  Looking forward to us taking out turn!

The Dogs also jumped 7 spots on the ladder with one win.

It's very even through the middle of the ladder. With our game in hand, we're nowhere near as far off the top 8 as it felt after the Richmond loss.

In saying that, we're also only percentage off 17th. Again, it's even.

Obviously didn't watch last week when they were rubbish.

I am also intrigued who these so called genuine stars??ย

He looks good, but his pace isn't great.ย  That will hurt him as a small forward.ย  Tough as hell though.ย

Weightman is more of a lead of forward like Elliot. We have Hannan and Fritsch already in that role.

I think this every week.ย 

I turned off the game last night and watched the Dees v Suns game again. Unfortunately the commentary from Gary and Jonno Brown was worse.ย

You'd think this would have occurred to the TV stations by now.

Because they could say to the commentators, "turns out only 50% of viewers listen to the commentary, so you're not as important as we thought, so you, you're taking a pay cut, and you, you're fired."

And they could pay some teenager minimum wage to push the button on a crowd sound effect mp3 they downloaded for free. "Audio department? Boss here. You're all fired."

Iโ€™m a bit surprised itโ€™s not a thing either, the broadcasts that get sent around to the networksย typically have a mixed audio (with coms) on the first two channels and the effects audio from the ground on the 3rd and 4th channel. There are probably more mixes happening because of no crowd but Iโ€™d be very surprised if it couldnโ€™t be a relatively easy option to create on the TVs.ย 

Iโ€™d be a strong supporter of being able to choose different radio stations commentary as well. Some of the commentators on Seven in particular are infuriating.ย

Pates l have Kayo so I can pause the stream but I'm sure you can do the following even with free to air with modern smart TVs.ย 

Step 1. Mute Bruce and all the other tripe on ch7. (it is now horrendous and ruins the game)ย 

Step 2. Listen to your choice of radio through the AFL app on your phone and play thru your Bluetooth speaker.

Step 3 Pause the stream/live TV until it is in sync with the radio call.ย 

There were about 7 radio stations to choose from,ย  even WA or SA stations for the masochists.

I can't tell you how much more enjoyable an experience it is.ย 

given the amount of $$s the channels have tied up with commentators to be the 'sound' of their football coverage, there's simply no way that they'll allow you to pick and choose (rival) commentary teams

โ€˜Press red for Edโ€™ was a good feature a few Queens Birthday games ago. After Watts kickedย the sealer, Ed literally turned red.ย

Just heard on 3aw that Bruce calls from Adelaide with BT in Melbourne and the boundary rider Hodge in Brisbane.

No wonder it's so bad.

I thought Hodge was both underutilised and underwhelming.

Calls out for local commentary but as many have mentioned Ch 7 seems to think that the callers are the stars !!!

Surely WA has excellent commentators for example as would SA.

PS.. was watching the Hungarian GP practice session. Track nowhere near as scenic as Austria. Whoever was mixing the sound had no idea.Commentators could hardly be heard over the cars. My natural reaction is to turn up the sound and well.... that didn't work. Hope they fix it for qualifying tonight.

wa = basil

GWS at home no problem. All their fans, still fit comfortably with social distancing in place at the Sydney Showgrounds.

The Bears are the best team in the comp at the moment. easily beat GWS away
ย 

They will smash us next week. Need to win tomorrow!


Be very careful about having wagers on TAB with regard to totals for players. Not for the first time this season checked my totals of disposals on the AFL web site atย 3/4 time, seeing if i was in withย a chance in last qtr to achieve the required number.

Example:ย today Zorko had a 3/4 time total of 17 ย at least before the third qtr was finished. Had another five in the last qtr at least.

Something smellsย here........ amazing how many blokes have finished the games with totals of 19 or 18 and 23 or 24.???

Rankine just kicked the first goal of the game out of mid-air.

Arrogance and brilliance all rolled in to one.

he's a pretty special talent - able to make something outta nothing

ย 

Heโ€™s a great prospect, but all of this fawning over Rankine by the commentators is getting tiresome! Derm was just creaming himself over the fact that he was running alongside the ball carrier heading towards goal!ย

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 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?

    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?
