Just thankful the 2030 Friday night coverage starts are a thing of the past.

The coverage standards are good re times now. Commentating standards have gone way downhill in the past 7-8 years. BT, Dwayne, Bruce (current version), Basil, Darcy, Roo. Always disappointing having to listen to these guys knowing footy could actually be exciting to watch if they had the right people behind the mikes.
I'd love a winners show/weekly highlights on a Sunday night on fta. Would watch it far more frequently than i would house rules, or the voice.
Even if I had already watched 5-7 games already (as I usually like to in a weekend) & Even if it was hosted by luke darcy!

If only we kicked straight in the last quarter of that prelim and shut down McLeod, Jarman and Kane Johnson
That was great the live score updates "look away now". Half the time those games were on delay late in the night and the old man would want to watch it later and told me not to tell him, I always looked at the score.
Only way you found out the scores was to chuck the radio on and flip between 3AW, 774, Magic, Triple M, K Rock etc

That was nearly our whole score, think we kicked only 8 or 9 for the night. I sat in the Olympic stand, don't remember much from the game except we got a junk time goal or two and I waved my flag.
Stand tough, Stand tough, never gonna get me down, gotta get up to get up, enough is enough, stand tough, stand tough, and up, and up, stand tough, stand tough, stand tough tough tough tough...

Gold. "Do you promise not to tell....."
I reckon they also used the song "Moving on Up" a few times as well.
"You are moving on out, time to break free, nothing can stop me"

Knew there was a Madonna song used just couldn't recall which one.
This may have also been during the era of 'Optus Vision'.
This is the one I remember the most, aside from Greg Champion's "thing about football" tune (which I own the cd single of
). It's more cringworthy than I remember it being at the time though haha.

Blatant rip off of the NFL's Monday Night Football intro back when it was on ABC (as in the US ABC).
NFL's version... intro starts at 1:45

That was also only Melbourne. Nowhere near that kind of coverage north of the Murray.

Sydney and Brisbane always got the 2pm Saturday "Match of the Round" LIVE from Victoria.
That way at least there was always some some kind of audience watching the game LIVE as it happened (Melbourne showing nothing until the evening replay/highlights, while Adelaide and Perth only showed Crows and Eagles games respectively).
Sydney and Brisbane would get the Swans and Bears if they were playing at home, but their away games were never guaranteed to be shown back into their respective markets, unlike today.
For a long while, Friday night games in Sydney and Brisbane were shown late night after midnight, similar to how the NRL was being showing in Melbourne late at night.
Sigh ... bogans will forever think their generations crap music is better than the next generations crap music. its all crap.
More meant most of the young people on BF would of never experienced the "look away now" thing when channels would show other games scores, giving you the chance of watching a replay later and not having the results. Nothing to do with things being better in the ol' days.

I got a long road to walk down
To catch a tram to my favourite ground
Use my legs, used my voice
Make some noise support the boys

I'd say it's about the same, although you had less non Victorian sides back then to work with.
If you include the Thursday night games this season, there's probably even more.
