We need condenser  mics amongst the journalists to be able to hear them and dynamic mics for the coaches and players.

SM57’s ideally for that 1970s look. 

I'm so glad I threw that out there for the other audiophiles! 

Definitely SM57's for the coaches, timeless mic! 

Give the journos a Blue Yeti to fight over 😝

    Will it be Daniher or Hipwood (among picks or another player) that gets traded at the end of the year for Ben King? 

     

    They just signed Hipwood on a 6 year contract only in December.

    Brisbane might just be the flat track bullies. Love it on their home deck, in humid conditions, but fail away from home. They also greatly benefited from a weakened Melbourne team last week. I guess Fagan will complain that the extra thirty seconds the dogs had, as the first team out after half time ruined their chances. I hate both sides, and that game was a stinker

    I bought a couple of Russian Oktava condenser pin mics about 15 years ago for I think $450 for the both of them. Still use them to record with now and they’re probably my favourite microphone, in saying that, I’d be willing to donate them just so we can hear the bloody journalists on the post game interview!

    The move to the doggies seems to be working out for Oscar Baker. Playing with more confidence than he ever did at the Dees. Good luck to him.

    I've got one. Good ordinary mic.

    Observed. Internalised. Just knew something would activate the snotty-goblinized 'string-pullers' and their attempts at showcasing.

    Yep, and he popped up across the game in isolated spaces quite regularly. Kicking, passing and backing-up have definitely improved and he seems to be on his way to some valuable consistency. Happy for him, a really nice fella underneath, as well.

    Got an SM58 myself, still one of the most durable performing mics. You could drive a car over it and it will be fine.

    Yikes. Hideous deal. That’s a sackable offence for a list manager

    What I’m most looking forward to this weekend in order of preference (aside from our game of course)

    1.     JVR debut

    2.     The Western Derby #deathride (would be no.1 any other weekend)

    3.     Geelong going 0-3 (more of a wish this one. Come on Suns)

    On point 3 BDA , David Swallow becomes the first Sun to reach 200 games...a mighty effort.  Some extra incentive to knock off the Cats.

    So does this make us feel better about beating the Dogs or worse about losing to the Lions?

     

    I dunno, it's just a result I'm leaving it at that. It's a two team sport and teams will beat each other, onward and upward.

    The second biggest dilemma the maggots will have all year. They knew that they had to give free kicks, but they just didn't know to who. The biggest one will be which Collingwood/TWSNBN players

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
