Talk on the national game

Haven't listened to a crows game on AA in a while, but I do remember them making comments about how they tone it down a bit on the occasions that they do go interstate

Certainly didn't feel toned down to me.

You would be lucky if one game a year goes interstate. Can you remember which game it was DW? I haven't had to setup a game to go interstate this year yet.

The 5aa calls are fine imo. Obviously biased towards the crows and power but don't pretend not to be.

On TV it's a different matter because it's national coverage


The 5AA calls do go interstate, though.
They're part of syndicated coverage. I was listening to the AA call in Mildura earlier this year.


Pretty sure 3AW would have taken the AA call yesterday, wouldn't they?

It's rare though. When I lived in Perth they always took either 6pr coverage (Obviously) or 3aw in each game I heard.

Not sure tbh. The 5aa team travel over for the crows game but I doubt they would send people over for st Kilda

3AW did the Bulldogs v West Coast game. They very rarely take a FIVEaa game. In fact I can't remember having to set anything up for them to take a game in the last couple of years. 6PR sometimes take the showdowns and this weekend FIVEaa are taking a game from 6PR.

I was definitely listening to a Port game on the radio. It was Easter weekend and Rowey and Bicks were blaring out of the speakers. I remember it because the game must have gone slightly over time, as the call was cut at the Mildura end before the match had been finished.

I feel sorry for anyone who cops Dermie as a commentator but if your team is playing GWS it's bloody shocking. Dermie never fails to sink the boot into the Cats but he was blowing the AFL Giants all night long at Cat Park. Absolutely excruciating. And now we have Sewell and Hodge in the future to look forward too. Great. More Hawthorn knobs in the media. Can't wait.

Rowey and Bicks don't do Port games. Anyway I have checked the AFL broadcast licenses and Croc media have the rights to broadcast to the country radio stations, therefore it couldn't have been FIVEaa that you heard. They can only share broadcasts with 3AW and 6PR.

Well you'd definitely know. I was sure it was AA.

It was Port v St Kilda on Sunday night, I was on my way to the Mildura Speedway with the family.
And I know I wasn't picking up Adelaide radio, as there was an ad for the Workingman's Club kicked in.
Tis a mystery.

I cant think of one AFL commentator that I like.

Some start off pretty good, but then get a too smart for their own good and start getting graphs and shit out.

When I watch footy, musics usually on.
