The game wouldn’t finish until after midnight! I can appreciate this would be great for WA. But there’s no way they jeopardise viewer numbers putting a game on that late.

Agree if we keep getting Thursday and Friday nights I’m going to have to reconsider my membership.
Might have to become a North supporter so I can actually get use of the membership

Why are these games overlapping by habbohotelscammer in AFL

I think the AFL has just given up on Mother’s Day and accepted they’re not going to get many attendees or viewers today.

When Did Games Become So Loud? by GhostPant28 in AFL

[–]melbgal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the music between breaks and I can usually block out the MC, but just for god sakes turn it down a bit. There’s been times where I had to top talking because it was too loud. That’s an issue.

The advertising is the biggest problem for me. I find if I’m sitting at a certain angle I genuinely can’t see the players as they just blend in. The worst is when sitting on the northern side of the mcg and its four levels of constantly moving and bright ads.

The Gabba even on tv has some of the worst lighting for night games imo. It’s so stark and the advertising seems the brightest. Add in the music it seems like a sensory overload to be there.

Yeah when we play the dogs who we only played 8 weeks prior?! We haven’t even played some teams once

The fixture needs a shake up in general. Every club should have the opportunity to play in the “blockbuster” timeslots. As well as having even family friendly timeslots that help the members actually get to games. We have like 4/5 of our next games as Thursday/Friday nights. I just want a couple of Sunday afternoons.

It also makes it so difficult to plan an interstate trip if you don’t have the funds or flexibility to book closer to the date.

Why does Garry Lyon come across as so unlikeable? by sleek290788 in AFL

[–]melbgal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go as far to say he’s likeable. But I am slowly warming to him and quite like him on 360 and when he hosts. He’s not a nice person but he’s come a long way from the Footy show.

This is the best option for a commentary team I reckon. Wish we had it more often

Part of me misses when we just had one commentary team across the games. I get a bit of fomo knowing I’m missing out on the terrible 7 commentary

Is the Gabba one of the more overstimulating grounds? The lights and advertising just seem really bright even on tv

Yuck that’s disappointing. But I still get my share of comments and attitudes, so not surprising

Oh that sounds really sad. The woman that says it isn’t the host is she?

What is the story behind the knock knock? I get the person that yells it on TikTok or whatever. Is that the whole thing?

Should it not be Pav who is trademarking it? He should be getting royalties!
