2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[Niximus]

I actually don't think appropriate infrastructure exists to make every camera high speed. I mean the camera itself is easily $150,000+ and then you'd need the systems, storage, switches and everything to support the output. The sort of storage and PCs needed for slow motion are very expensive and I'm not sure the interconnect systems would be good enough.

I don't think every camera needs to be though. The time we'll need it is for decisions like that and it will pretty much always be cantered on the ball. One following the ball would be good, two would be better.

Haven't we already had it, I seem to remember 'super slow mo' or similar a few years ago.

 

[FR0GGY]

The NFL are able to do it.

my iPhone can do it

 

[Redleg Crow]

The NFL are able to do it.

NFL TV deal is about $3bn a year, AFL one is $418m a year....

 

[MRB37]

Already won on that Kerridge trade.

At the the very least hopefully it'll quiet down the "why got reamed in the Kerridge trade" crowd for a bit.

 

[happy_knackers]

The AFL have actually written "Opening Round" on the Grass.....

After a month of substandard mickey mouse games, they needed something to remind everyone who might be thinking the nab muck is going around another week.

lol, I'm sure REX wish they could do a lot of what American Airlines are able to do too.

 

[AmericanCrow]

I thought it was a camera usually found attached to a Camry parked on the side of the road.....

Or on top of street lights

 

[Large 1]

Something that records slow motion footage

A speed camera that has been hanging out with Buddy Franklin.

Yeah there are a few slow mo cameras at the ground, depending on the match. Not usually more than 1-2

 

[6BTS]

Interesting. Is every single camera 1000 FPS slow mo capable? How many cameras do they use?

I don't know, but they are always able to get a slow motion, reasonably close up slow motion replay with a high speed frame rate. It's pretty cool when you see a challenge and the multiple slow motion angles they show. Although I guess the camera's only need to be running for the duration of a play and then they aren't needed for another 30-40 seconds or longer for the high majority of the time.

 

[BACCS]

Actually a really good game for once!!

 

[mattymac]

Kerridge should've taken the snap then. Didn't want to own it

Well, considering digital quality is the way of the future, they will look back on these years as a lost opportunity to better document their history. IMO.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Cripps and Weitering are 2 bloody good players to build a side around...

 

[Wright Away]

I don't think we should be too concerned about playing Richmond...

 

[DD#23]

no left foot

 

[spexau]

I don't think we should be too concerned about playing Richmond...

If we play with any intensity at all we'll win

Interesting you should say that actually, I wonder what kind of archiving the AFL are doing

 

[6BTS]

NFL TV deal is about $3bn a year, AFL one is $418m a year....

So I'm gonna read that as a yes, it's asking too much.

Prospects are nearly always overvalued. A phenomenon that crosses borders and sports.

 

[Tyls83]

what? the media have them high up already

They've all but given our spot to Geelong already

 

[pjcrows]

I don't think we should be too concerned about playing Richmond...

Perhaps we will wait and see how we go on Saturday night first.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Weitering is more impressive than Lever. He will be the best number 1 pick for along time.

That's just such a negative comment from someone who can't see any good in any Crows player ......why exactly do you follow the Crows ....no other team will accept you ?

 

[6BTS]

Cripps and Weitering are 2 bloody good players to build a side around...

I've actually fantasied about a Crows back line with Talia, Weitering and Lever in it.

 

[Wright Away]

Perhaps we will wait and see how we go on Saturday night first.

Who is this 'we'?
