Fox studio or at the ground for 2nd game?
With Sydney based Ginnane/Lee/Haddin. Absolutely no excuses if they’re not.
Courtney the duck got a workout tonight despite it being a Seven produced game.
Worst part is the Melbourne game was called from the Fox Footy studios, and the Sydney game called from the Sydney studios…
Ian Smith has been a great addition to the team this summer.
It’s so cheap not calling from the ground. I listened to Ray Hadley on the Hello sport podcast and he said fox call nearly every game from the studio now and every commentator prefers it
Well it would be easier. Sleep in your own bed, no flights, in and out much later/earlier.
Problem is it really does deteriorate from the quality of the broadcast. It may be cheap and comfortable but doesn’t make it better.
No it doesn’t, I personally hate it when they do but it’ll be happening more and more sadly
Last nights game was also called from the studio instead of Marvel?
Yes it was, I don’t think they try to even hide it anymore.
Was it called from Sydney or Fox Footy?
Yeah I don’t think they care anymore. What can the viewers do? They have no real choice nor say in the matter sadly.
Fox from studio today as well
They prefer to call off a tv screen rather than be at the game? I find that hard to believe.
I get that they may not want to travel interstate, but if it’s a choice between stadium or studio within their home city, I think the stadium wins.
Better access to replays and various camera angles in the studio. Personally I prefer the ground but they don’t care about the atmosphere and quality anymore
To the surprise of no one, Fox is calling from the Melbourne Studio again tonight. Sarah Jones hosting with Brendon Jullian, Isa Guha & Brad Haddin in commentary.
