FoxFooty calling interstate games remotely

[saintal]

5AA are calling off the TV here in Adelaide also. The end to the Swans/Power game was comical as they had the same view as everybody at home.

Unprofessional.

As if David King wasn't going to justify it. How much better is it for him unless he has a girl in each state he likes to visit. Saved himself hours of time and hassle.

Whatley lapped it up as he is always calling from the studio.

I'd froth at being paid to travel interstate for a weekend each week. Paid airfare, accommodation, how good

You'd tire of it quickly particularly when time zones keep changing.

A maximum 3 hour time difference (now 2)?

For what they're paid, they have to suck it up.

Many emergency service personnel do rotating shifts, many people work multiple jobs to make ends meet.

Yet, somehow these precious commentators need to be given some leniency?

The poor petals.

It was, and should be part of the job description.

Take it, or leave it.

Get someone close to you to give you an uppercut.

I agree they should do it but over the season it would get a bit much. Especially if you are doing a Saturday and a Sunday game. In Huddo and Dwaynes case they also call for Radio on a Friday night but don't leave the state for that either.

It would get tedious and tired-some, but that should be the catch of having the job. Can't expect a job to have no cons

Simple solution - develop commentators in states outside of Victoria. Reduces or eliminates the need for travel, ensures the commentary team is at the ground and gives the audience a variety of voices

It's not just the commentary teams, more behind the scenes as well. Could be wrong but can't see it happening this year and maybe even next until contracts are renegotiated.

I agree with you, that's the way to do it.

With Fox calling a game in every state every week in the new broadcast deal, I'd expect to see them base a team in every state, with 2-3 based in vic.

 

[peternorth]

So King won’t be at the grand final one assumes? Or any game from here on in!?

 

[Billy ray]

will they call all the gather round games from studio?




muhahahahhahahahahahaahaaaaaaa

What the??

The only uppercut required is for your good self, based on the responses.

I would guess they would still be calling at least the games on 7 off TV. Fox call the FTA games off TV for the NRL

 

[Section226]

Yep - you're spot on.

To my understanding, they already have the bulk of support staff and equipment required in each state (cameras and operators, wardrobe, makeup etc.).

Come to think of it, I think each state already has a local director, vision switcher, graphics and so on.

So for the broadcast, who actually needs to fly and be accommodated?

And it sucks.

Weak as absolute piss. Deadset disgrace they're allowing this to happen.

Yep.

Doesn't it reek of the pea-hearted, wishy-washy, eunuch-like response from the AFL regarding the Coniglio/Dissent debacle?

well it is.

So out of touch with fans in their ivory towers. No surprise AFL staff are staying in posh $900 a night accommodation in Adelaide Hills this weekend.
