Got me thinking, why does nobody seem to mind the format of the nightly news? It's news, sport then weather. 7 days a week, on every network. Never changes. Also it's the same people appearing, every night. Now granted the news doesn't normally offer opinion, but nevertheless the format is...

That was AFL Insider I reckon

Of course the other way to look at it is it was the #1 rating program that night on Foxtel. Also that number was for the live show. It didn't take into account streaming or replay views.

Just need the sun to set in the east and that would work well 😉

As chairman you would know the roof sticks out too far and cameras wouldn't be able to shoot the near-side boundary line.

Used to be in Ladies Pavilion, now in Brewongle

I actually don't know how any of the commentators learn players so well they can recall them immediately in live play. I mean you can study the two teams playing that day but some of these commentators are calling two or even three games each weekend across TV and radio. That's 6 teams you need...

Plenty of suggestions on the Kayo thread on Whirlpool.

Was it this one (NRL version posted)? The band is Young Royals. Fox has been doing this for a couple of years now across NRL and AFL where they get a band or singer to record a performance. Both codes use it with their own highlights. Baker Boy was another

Given the impending battle likely to take place over funding the new stadium in Hobart, I'm not looking forward to when we hear about the Tassie Devils playing at Westpac Coca-Cola McDonalds Toyota BHP Pointsbet HCF Qantas Harvey Norman Park.

I don't think it was planned. Whateley said his flight got cancelled. Probably only had a couple of hours notice.

Damien Barrett often remarks on Sounding Board that he enjoys Triple M BT and JB but not the Ch7 versions.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Probably the same person who told the commentators to wear shorts with white business shirts on the Big Bash. I swear Ch7's wardrobe policy is "just wear whatever your wife thinks looks nice".

BT at a stoppage, "Rankine, Rankine, Rankine, Rankine". Rankine not in possession of the ball at any point, nor contesting for it.

Bit of chat in the Hubbl forum on Whirlpool that Hubbl is outputting 4K better than Apple TV.

You can tell straight away by where the score is on screen. Fox is top left, 7 is bottom left.

It's less about having them miked up and more about how it sits in the overall mix. Ch7 has them very prominent whereas Fox sits them underneath everything else and only brings them up when it's relevant. I like being able to hear explanations of decisions though - it sounds weird watching a...

Ch7 games are produced in native 4K. They just can't broadcast that format.

I wish they had a better producer. Hutchy like a dog with a bone trying to get Damo to admit he went to the North thing. Damo asking Hutchy questions about the racing deal then continually interrupting him to the point Hutchy had to tell him to shut up so he could answer - this would be so...

Getting fed up with the "I didn't watch this but someone sent it to me" disclaimer. Who gives a stuff how it came to your attention, just get to the point. It's like they're at pains to show they don't watch ACA or Media Watch or read the Herald Sun.

Look for it on YouTube in the next 24 hours - you can download it from there.

The final siren on Friday night spoke volumes to how 7 treats footy coverage. Newman takes a mark to pretty much put the result beyond doubt and they go to a great reaction of Crippa. After all - he emobides the Carlton story this finals series. A split second later the siren sounds and they...

Yeah that's stupid. They have a camera at the other end they can use, and should, particularly when the player is on or outside 50

Not at all - it's a balance yeah? My point was if the tight camera is a bit wider as you've suggested, they can stay on it longer because it can follow the ball more easily. That's a bad thing. You need the balance between tight and wide, but you also want the tight view tight enough that...

What happens then though is that the tight shot is wide enough to follow every single handball and even a short kick. After a couple of handballs and a short kick you suddenly don't know where you are on the ground anymore. Sure you can see the players around the contest, but where are they on...

The FIFA coverage of the Matilda's game last night was rubbish too. Sam Kerr goes nuts after scoring a goal and we get a view of the back of her head! Anyway I don't think you can use soccer as a template for how AFL should be filmed. There are far fewer contests in soccer and where there is...

They were joking. They'd been talking about Carr taking over from Hinkley so the TV cameras went to Carr in the box (which also got shown on the big screen at the stadium). Carr smiles so they say he's "listening". They know he's not.

Same. Commercials end, goes to the Kayo logo "we're in a commercial break" loop, then won't rejoin the game.

I can only assume the Channel 7 production team are massive fans of this movie, because it’s exactly how they approach their footy coverage. When Pendlebury claimed the record for most possessions the other week they became fixated with the scoreboard. As Collingwood worked their way out of...
