In the Perth match, Fox had Adam Pap and Pavlich at the ground. Two other special comms were out of Melbourne. It worked okay, although I don't know why we need three special comms.Does Fox Footy not have enough adequate people in Adelaide and Perth to do the games?

The AFL should mandate that if you have the TV or Radio rights, you are required to be at the ground when broadcasting. It's not just SEN, the Fox game today between Adelaide and Freo was nearly ruined by it. Absolute disgrace from million dollar companies.
I don't know where there isn't more discussion about this around the place. I've seen a bit on twitter but it doesn't have any traction among media types for obvious reasons.
I remember Hutchy and a few others saying that stuff like this would stay post-covid but it's an absolute joke and embarrassment. The national sport and competition, and people are calling from a ******* studio. I could cop it back in the day when they did it for pre-season games but there is absolutely no excuse to not be traveling in March 2022. Actually the only time this year it would be acceptable is if there was a covid outbreak within the Fox Footy team and a few blokes had to double up and it wasn't doable with the travel etc. but far out. The AFL should not accept this.
I wouldn't call it smallproblem is, in the AFL sphere, everyone are mates. There's so much crossover that no on wants to step on anyone elses toes. its a small industry where protecting ones self is paramount

I wouldn't call it small
Sorry , i thought you meant the AFL as a wholeIn terms of media industry how big would you think it is?
nah, just afl media.Sorry , i thought you meant the AFL as a whole
More AFL media than playersnah, just afl media.
agreed. as people they are top notch persons.I dont dislike Andy Maher and Andrew gaze as people but man they really are a terrible unlistenable pairing, both have such grating buffoonish voices and sit on the fence with every single news item.
There was a girl calling the GWS /Swans game yesterday and she was pathetic and the male callers were nearly in the same standard
Shot ON goal is bullshit .Why do we need a female caller on everything , some of them are terrible like that Lisa Stethlaker. Fox cricket girls cricket is called by all girls cough coughJo Wotton - Called VAFA for a number of years, and most recently AFLW for both Ch7 and SEN.
I'd cut her some slack, as Hutchy makes them call that game from the SEN studios in Melbourne.
You can almost get away with calling off the TV for a TV broadcast, but calling off the TV for radio doesn't work - as per previous posts here about the BBL.
Andy Maher ? hes totally emasculated,beyond repair.agreed. as people they are top notch persons.
good observation this,kelly underwood( fox sports),i think thats her name, is terrible to listen to,cant somebody within the industry be honest and just tell them they dont have the tone for calling live sport.Shot ON goal is bullshit .Why do we need a female caller on everything , some of them are terrible like that Lisa Stethlaker.

Underwood is terrible , what shits me is that you can't say anything as they are females , but we can bag BT or JB for being hopeless . You bag Hutchy , but if he was a girl it would be a crimegood observation this,kelly underwood( fox sports),i think thats her name, is terrible to listen to,cant somebody within the industry be honest and just tell them they dont have the tone for calling live sport.
Lying to them or pretending theyre ok is not doing anybody any good.
its like Crown employing a hot looking female dealer whos nice enuff but cant count to save herself and makes errors that cost the company money
but they keep her on anyway because theres not enough of em (good lookers) on the payroll
