Couldn’t agree more. 7 butchered it. AFL should be fuming

How the hell arent 7 throwing every single dollar they have at this team? BT is a complete embarrassment.
When there is a goal they often just allowed the crowd noise to featured instead of some garbage catch phrase

As somebody who was also there, it’s actually staggering what they’ve done to it. It is a historic game and moment that they’ve destroyed. Four half-asleep morons locked in a soundproof room.
I don’t know how the AFL can let their own history be documented like this.
It’s not just poor commentary… the complete absence of any effects and atmosphere audio is appalling.

If I remember correctly there was talk going around at the time that he’d had knocked back an unbelievable amount of money to go over and call American sports for ESPN and instead stay with fox footy.
That shows just how good he was
SEN's call was good (Dwayne Russell and Gerard Whateley) Had plenty of drama and atmosphere.

Shocking broadcast, the whole production really needs a reset. Poor video quality, audio barely there, TERRIBLE commentary. Don't know why people rate Hudson either, he's just another Ch 7 type, but on a different channel.
Only tick I gave the broadcast was the 3/4 overhead shot from above/behind the player with the ball - allowed you to see what options there were, gave a better sense of the 3D nature of AFL. As far as I remember, it only got used once or twice. Is the Spider Cam only there for the 'entertainment'? (I don't tune in until bounce time and switch it off at half time, so don't see any entertainment)
They should watch a couple of EPL broadcasts - one pro commentator, one ex-player giving special comments. Crowd noise/atmosphere intact. 30 or 40 seconds can go by without a word being said - which is a long time when you're used to constant, brain numbing discussion.

Nah they’d be HD, just lesser quality machines with less advanced lens’
