Perforated ear-drums at Marvel

[Devil Fish]

Don’t know about you guys but I did not enjoy the male ground host at Marvel yesterday yelling into his microphone for over 5 mins before the game.
Why was he yelling???

If the club genuinely thinks that adds something to the “gameday experience” then we’re in more trouble than we thought.

And seriously, the lameness of individually introducing players pre-game is cringeworthy. It adds ZERO. It works in the NBA. And that’s it. Not in the AFL where a guy is yelling 23 names out trying to make it “exciting”.

And then add the player goal songs…..

Talk about totally botching the experience.

You know what would’ve made the day great? NM winning!!!! Pretty simple.

But anyway…..

Are we in trouble? Looks like we're travelling alright. Good pivot to find a whinge in something though, I doffs me hat to ye.

We’ve beaten 14th, 16th, 17th and 18th this season. We’re flying!!!!

Gawd that MC and music was loud. Is this an AFL or North thing to have the volume up so loud that you cant hear the person next to you talking. Is the volume controlled by the DJ or someone else? Who do we complain to? North or AFL. IT"S TIME TO ACT!!!!!

It was terribly loud and annoying, but I'm an old fart. Kids probably like that sort of crap.

Four decent wins and strong performances since. Going alright, not in much trouble.

Is this an AFL or North thing

Unfortunately it's more of a league-wide thing. And this guy has carved out a niche for himself as a game-day announcer for multiple clubs and the Big Bash too;

Oh he's not even a North guy? He can get ****ed then

 

[Shinboner Supremacy]

He is ****ing annoying as that c u n t. He must be rostered on by Marvel

The kids wouldn't hear it, as they're on their phones...

No they don't mate. I don't think anyone wanted to listen to that ****wit scream into the mic for 5 minutes

Yeah it was excessively loud. My mate and I were both in medallion and couldn’t hear each other talk, it removed you from being present. Fyi we are both mid 30s and didn’t like it at all.

Reading the comments sounds like he was popular

I'm at the Demons/Eagles game. Don't ask why. There's about 15k here and it was the same. At quarter time they thought that the crowd playing musical statues would be fun. 'Match Day Experience' is loud and lame across the board. It's not a NMFC thing, well not entirely. It's a Marvel and AFL thing. And like most AFL things, it's shithouse.

Between the announcer and the music I find going to Marvel so overstimulating that I rarely go anymore (and bring earplugs when I do). Otherwise I just feel awful for the rest of the day, or the next day for a night game.

I want the time in between quarters and before the game to talk to my friends, or have a break from the cheering. Not only can I not hear them, I can’t even hear myself think!

Such a contrast to watching the women at Arden, sitting up on the hill, which is a genuine delight every time. I should try to catch a VFL game there sometime

Why are you there?

 

[Caracas]

I hardly noticed it, to be honest. If I can arrive in my seat right at the ball-up and go to the toilet at halftime, I’m sweet. The rest is white noise.

 

[Marstermind]

I said don't ask!!!!

But I am wondering how on Earth we lost to the Eagles. They are putrid.

JK with the ABBA song got me out of my chair

Surely they can still control the volume...

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

We haven’t improved the pregame experience since the Mario Cart head to head on the screen at MCG listening to The Voice of the G.

 

[KangaRooster]

Watching the first half through a haze of smoke is also totally worth the lads running out through the flame bursts

Also the pre game light show gives me sudden adult onset temporary epilepsy.
