Yesterdays game was the first time it has ever annoyed me and I blame Hawthorn

It was particularly bad yesterday - I was wondering if it was just my wavering memory or if it had gotten worse. But given this thread, seems it's getting worse

Years ago (2012) I went to the season opening game against Brisbane.

The noise levels were unbearable and exactly as you describe Red.

I never returned to the MCG. They lost me altogether. We are governed by barbarians.

And obviously “deaf “ barbarians.

Have now passed it on to 2 contacts in the media, Sun and Fox Footy. 
Will see if something happens.

I doubt they'll change it. Corporate advertising is a lot more important to them than crowd comfort. 

It is not just the advertising, the music is far worse.

Yes I thought that yesterday when I noticed it more. For some reason we feel we need to have music. Just turn down the volume. You get the loud music then the siren. It is hard to have a conversation and then what annoys me is when people have the conversations while the footy is being played which does really annoy me. 

At half time just let the auskick kids play and let people have a chat. 

I go and see the storm play and they don't have that. 

I've never been to an NRL game. What sort of "crowd activation/entertainment" do they have there?

Might have been mentioned already, but I received a survey from the AFL about my attendance at Sunday’s game.
Amongst other things it asks you to rate ‘interactive fan initiatives’, ‘music played in the stadium before the match and at breaks’ and ‘quality of home teams pre-match entertainment’.

Could the AFL be aware that some of us hate this confected American rubbish?

The AFL elitists are concealed behind safety glass and well out of earshot from the annoying plebs and the noise pollution used to silence them.

 

The second best thing for me about attending the footy (after watching us win), is that it is sometimes the only time in my busy life that I get to spend 1 on 1 with my dad, something I will always treasure. Now we have to scream over the music just to have a conversation at the breaks. 

It has definitely gotten worse this year. As has the 'entertainment' at the breaks. I understand the need for sponsored events, but they used to be so much more fun and interactive. Now they are just dull and loud.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
