Why do soccer crowds have a reputation for poor behavior compared to AFL fans?
This is the Sounding Board Podcast with Haji and Damo. Thanks to Drinkwise. You won't miss a moment.
Moment if you drink wise. Question time on the sounding board for Drinkwise. You won't miss a moment if you drink wise. We'll start with Bailey via email. Is Marcus Bontempelli a closet sounding board listener? Every time the camera was on him at the Brownlow Medal, the beer in hand was immediately moved from the camera, following Hutchie's advice. Never be photographed with a beer. I didn't notice that. Yep. And uh smart by the Bont. Uh, Rock via X, why when there is discussion about fan behavior at AFL Games, the immediate point is to talk about soccer, despite it having nothing to do with it. I tend both and find an AFL crowd to be far less family friendly with rocks.
Soccer or football rock has had a greater history than m most sports at having these type of situations. So it's a reputation of its own historical doing, unfortunately. Doesn't mean it's reflective of m modern times, but it does go back.
Craig on email, is this amazing season of footy the reason the AFL should not listen to the fans when it comes to backlash around rule changes and introducing new concepts like the wild card round? I feel as though this is the best season of footy that we've seen since the early two thousands for quality of games.
Should the AFL introduce a wild‑card round despite fan backlash?
What do you guys think?
Well
Greg
Swanna upset the fans when he didn't listen to the fans on uh an
aspect of that debate.
About the game length. Yeah. But um In my view, people don't know what they want until they see they see it. I
wouldn't
be
asking the fans. Me either. Just just go and do what you you think you're gonna do. Because the fans it's not as if they're not gonna go and watch the game, Hutchie. They they they I don't wanna be dismissive of them, but it's not as if they're going to stop watching the game.
And you think wild cards are big stretch, why do you see the proposed new fixture and how that looks?
Hm.
What do you what do you got here? Well, I think there's a whole evolution piece of the back end of the season going on that if it gets up will make wildcard look tame.
Is it play each other once as a starting point? Yeah. Yeah. Which I think's a good thing.
Did Damo’s lunch with Harry Kane lead to a surprise performance at the Icehouse?
Then we
go into three tournaments and then we go into Yeah Yeah, it's been reported along the way. But it's
Yeah. And that could be as early as twenty eight? Well I think there was some voluicious debate about it only yesterday. Okay. Okay.
The uh AFL
Probably could have brought that to the main body of the programme, Archie, rather than just as a little little throwaway into it. I'm retired. Uh Gordon on Facebook, now that Damo and Kane have broken bread, will they get up on stage at Icehouse's fortieth anniversary Man of Colours tour and bout out a cover version of my obsession? He started it. He started it.
Thank
Quartz. One of the great albums.
I did
try and get Crazy Electric Grill. I did
try and get Ice House for our grand final edition of the show.
You said you're gonna try and get it.
I did. Yeah. But they we weren't really in on the joke and we couldn't reach commercial terms.
What’s Ian’s proposal for expanding the Rugby League World Cup with three Australian teams?
I can't imagine Ivor Davies having too much care for this show, Hudgey, for what it's worth.
I have a I have a fairly strong view of my own worth of what I would call I would probably describe him as. Oh really?
But you tried just for the joke. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I thought if we b we might build an event around it and
what'd you offer him, five hundred?
Oh please. No, we w I made a very compelling offer. Strong offer. D
you said no? Yeah. It's a shame. Uh where are we? Paul One X is the biggest winner from Colli Mano performing at the grand final, the AFL, the broadcasters, or Anthony Albanese for being out of the country and avoiding the inevitable culture war commentary. I've got a theory on this, Paul. I reckon Elbow's just created a reason to get out of the country for that very reason. And I'm not going to be convinced otherwise. That's my view. Damo cynical.
Yep.
Is a 5 pm start the ideal kickoff time for the AFL Grand Final?
Uh Joey on X. Surely the grand final should be a five pm start. The MCG looked glorious on Saturday.
