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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
