The Vent Thread

[luthor]

Although with your quick defensiveness and petulance you are definitely fitting the theme of this thread better than I am. My bad, I do apologise. I do hate to get in the middle of a good vent.

Venters gonna vent.

 

[POBT]

When they announce the players before the game, I wish they wouldn't read out the emergencies. They aren't ****ing playing!

Announcing their "debut" is just embarrassing.

Yeah bob and I were shaking our head at this yesterday. Especially the debut thing.

Something to tweet Steele Tallon about!

 

[POBT]

I have to admit that I don't completely pay attention to the announcer but when I heard Robbo and Paine were apparently playing, I frantically started to try and work out who was missing.

 

[POBT]

Also on the PA system, turn it the **** down. I don't need "Mugsy" blaring at me constantly.

 

[Hollow Knight]

That said, the Muggalution seems a better gameday MC than that soulless radio-DJ mannequin they had last year.

 

[POBT]

Is it Shaun Mugavin? I couldn't quite see - just noticed the name, the lack of hair and the "stocky" stature.

Yep.

We've got something of a Morningside takeover going on at the club atm.

Jobs for the broader Brown family.

Revenge for sacking their most famous son.

They're going to bring us down from the inside!

Yeah...I started doing that too.....till I realized what was going on.

Whoever came up with the idea of emergencies "debuting" when they're not actually playing needs a smack around the earhole with a dead mullet.

Agree about the volume level too, not just "Muggsy" but in general. They need to turn it down to under 50,000 dB.... my eardrums haven't copped such a battering since I went to a Skyhooks concert in 1980.

I like to imagine Nick Robertson settling into his seat in the upper tier in his Brisbane Lions suit and then doing a spittake with his Coke Zero when he hears "Number 18... on debut... Nick Robertson" then rushing down to the locker room to get his gear on.

I used to like the boys saying their junior clubs. Now they don't say anything and look like they're doing pilates.

Oh yeah, it was, way, way, way too loud. It was obnoxiously loud.

 

[Hollow Knight]

The volume issue is particular bad in the breaks where every second is filled with advertising. You can't escape it which makes discussing the game with the person next to you like trying to have a conversation in a nightclub.

THis is an AFL wide issue. So say at Qtr time - you've just had 30 minutes of entertainment, and just want to collect your thoughts, chew the fat with whoever you are at the footy with. Instead you're blasted with tripe - them either thinking we need that 5 mins extra of "entertainment" by ground announcers, or thinking that advertising works if your ears bleed.... nope.

Adding to the game day experience says the AFL - reality is, the "game" is the "game day" experience. The extras they provide for our "benefit" is just rubbish.

The amount of people tipping the Suns on the main board.

We're still underrated on the main board but IMO the Suns deserve to go in favourites over us at Metricon now and in the foreseeable future.

Our midfields are pretty well matched but they have the better forward options.

Shit, vent thread. I've done it again.

 

[western royboy]

Jed Adcock must be a great off field leader, because his decision making on field is at best poor....

Seemed to get even louder once most left prior to ressies. Painful.

I hate places that automatically renew stuff that you didn't even realise was a subscription without notifying you it's coming up, especially if it's $100+.

Yeah, got stung by Amazon Prime recently on that. The irritating thing is you know the non-reminders are intentional, as people forgetting to cancel is part of the business model.
