Best Way to Experience the Game?

[Cleansweep17]

So what is your favourite way to experience the game and why?

1. Radio

2. TV

3. Attending

I personally like TV unless it’s a MCG finals game. The quality now is amazing, not like in the 70s when it looked like it was being filmed with a potato. Couldn’t tell the difference between North and Pies in black and white TV.

The poll only lets you select one? I like to listen to radio commentary and watch it on Kayo while attending the game.

How do you watch the game on radio?

For those of us old enough, we could tell the difference between North and Pies in black and white, even playing on a wet day on a mud heap.

These days I've gone from preferring to attend a game to watching it on tv. I live regional Vic and CBF with the travel and aggravation of being in a large crowd full of people with anger issues who don't know the rules.

I voted for watching on radio.

Attending. Always.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Attending if it’s your team, on TV as a neutral.

Having been to many neutral games, I’ve come to the realisation that I was bored sh*tless through most of them.

Synesthesia obviously

Synesthesia is when your brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses, causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously. Some examples include tasting words or linking colors to numbers and letters.

With your eyes.

Far too many people watch the game and form their conclusions from a stats sheet nowadays...

Of course, how could I have forgotten that one? Rookie mistake.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Depends where it is. You'd have to pay me to attend a game at docklands, feels like I'm observing some kind of soviet brutalist monument whenever I venture there

Great view of one 50-metre arc.

Cleansweep, does this describe you by any chance at all?

Put on your Richmond guernsey (no.4).
Watch two minutes of Martin highlights two hours before the game.
Check Centrelink balance.
Can't afford to go to the game.
Watch the Richmond match on TV.
Log on to BigFooty after the Richmond loss and talk about Dustin Martin.

Looks like somebodies parents didn’t GAF. What happened to you

I didn’t want to keep writing see/hear in my title and sentence. I thought common sense would prevail. Unfortunately not, I need to keep it real simple for some people on here.

Well there are people that go to the game, essentially watch the whole thing on the TV screen whilst listening to the radio.

 

[eagleskickass]

Prefer being at the game. You see so much more, such as where players out of shot are running to, what's ahead of the play. On TV you, obviously, only get what's in camera shot.

 

[PoppedCorn]

god i miss the camera panned out view i used to be able to choose on Austar when pressing red back in the day

 

[Blackhawk42]

Check the score on my phone at every break.

Watch the replay that night if we've won so I save myself and my family from the stress of a close, live contest.

 

[katana]

on the telly, sitting on the couch, beer in hand, computer on lap and my mates on bigfooty keeping me company.

cheers fellas,

I vote for reading the results in the Sporting Globe on a Saturday night.

Alone. So I don't have to be amongst, listen to or talk to idiots who have no feel for the game

yep, I've actually observed people doing this!!

 

[Doc1763]

I voted for attending, but the older I get, the harder it is. Especially night games and those stupid 4:35 games.

Or even worse, they try to talk about SOMETHING ELSE (ie not football )
