I dread the thought of having to listen to BT and JB in the biggest game in 21 years.

Does anyone have any tips on how to synch the Broadcast on TV to the radio, digital or otherwise?  I'm thinking SEN with Gerard and Huddo.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    SEN app is generally about 30 seconds delayed from live. If you have the ability to pause live tv (either via kayo, foxtel etc) I'd be pausing your live tv for 30 seconds and getting it into sync with the broadcast via the SEN app

    This is what I would normally do throughout the year but the Grand Final is only broadcast on Ch 7 and 7 HD. Can these channels be paused?

    Honestly If anyone tried to start doing this just before this match, either I or they would go. Might be ugly.

    If you have a digital TV or digi set top box like Foxtel IQ3 that the FTA signal comes through then yes you can pause and restart.

    True I had forgotten about that. Another option could be to chromecast from the 7+ app, pause it from there and then sync it to SEN...

    It would be good for Ch7 to have BT and JB on one channel and Jason Bennett/Hamish on the other channel.  Let the people vote.

    Can someone clarify if Foxtel will carry the Ch7 broadcast or do I actually have to watch Ch 7?

    I wondered that too. Probably same vision, but I wonder if its different commentary on Foxtel???

    Another option . . . sound down with Roy and HG on while regularly checking the Demonland game day thread. Most 'Landers know more about the game than channel 7, so you get to have a laugh and not go insane listening to the Salad Dodger and James Notsoshaw.

    You're stuck with CH 7 adds.

    Last year Fox Footy showed footage of an empty studio for 3 hours.

    Am going to be watching on a small delay so that the app can buffer at a HD resolution, not a sure thing here in Sudan, makes sense to try and take advantage of MMM or SEN. It is resisting the temptation to check real time scores that is hard. Thanks for good suggestions.

    Not sure where to put this question but here is as good as any. 
     

    There were a few of us that couldn’t watch The Brownlow as it wasn’t streamed they 7+ . Many assured we will be able to watch the GF if you had 7+ and Apple TV device but should we be concerned if it still doesn’t come up in a search on the app??

    Worried!

    The picture quality on Ch 7 is crud, let alone the aural offence of BT and JB.

    Is there anyway to get HD Ch 7 on Poxtel? I can't get digital and the only way to torture yourself with Ch7 is via Poxtel. For what ever reason, the picture quality is rubbish! I'd be tempted to drag out the B & W with bunny ears if I still had one. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Then I can venture into the abyss of intelligent commentary.

    If the Brownlow telecast and the ch 7 information is anything to go by, this will not work.  Only 7+ apps on certain TVs etc will work.  Android phones/tablets won't work.

    Will the 7mate app have it? If so, on a smart TV, maybe do that plus radio. 
    my Sony Bravia i think will stream it via 7mate so that might work for some if you have a smart TV (to be fair I just go my first one - first new TV since 2008!)

    I have 7HD through the Optus NBN set top box (can’t remember it’s name and can’t be bothered getting up to check)* so can pause TV to synch with 3AW or SEN.  
    Usually I prefer to run Kayo through the smart TV mainly to skip the ad breaks after every goal, but isn’t the GF only on 7, which means bloody ad breaks all the time (hopefully 30 times, for each of our goals!).

    That is the 7 mate app which is channel 7’s digital streaming solution ( what Kayo is to Foxtel). Usually digital streaming rights and terrestrial (free to air) broadcasting rights are split up, but it appears as though ch7 has both.

    Might want to see if you can pause n play live TV on 7 mate and not leave it to GF day.

    I thought the Prelim team did a great job at commentating (bennett, Mclachlan, Leppitsch etc). I'm usually yelling at the tv to tell the commentators to just  shut up ! a lot of the time but enjoyed the prelim commentary.  My wife came in and asked who had commentated and I couldnt tell her, so I thought that if they hadnt annoyed me for the whole game they must have done ok.  BT or Eddie are nauseating.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
