People still cant shut up during the player interviews
No the PA system isnt great, and yes the players dont have Beva's radio announder voice projection, but its just embarrassing all round for Bruce and SC staff to continally ask people to shush when the players are being interviewed
Too many boofheads in there who after 15 beers think the sound of their own voice is the most important thing in the world

Who was being interviewed?
I've found in the past that people will be quiet if it's Lyon, Riewoldt or Hayes but if it's someone like Simpkin or McGrath or Alastair Smith people will keep talking.
I can't say I blame them. People want to talk or hear about the game they have just watched. Not hear about the progress of a guy who wasn't out there and probably won't get a game this year.

The speakers at the front would be good.
Also showing individuals like Elshaugh how to speak into a microphone would help. He held it under his chin and didn't talk into it.
The other issue is no one really wants to hear standard player speak. I'm sorry but the players just say the same thing "I am just happy to play my role/I don't mind where I play as long as I am helping the team/We are working hard on our structures/We have another tough one next week against [insert team name]." While I truely appreciate the effort that the players put in by coming down to the club at the end of the game maybe it would be better if we got more interviews with the staff and administrators of the club. The best interview I have seen this year was with Westaway, that is the sort of thing that people would be interested in hearing.

I had a very nice chat all through the boring interviews. Who cares what a bunch of players saying, its all footyspeak.Saint Bev wrote:Its an absolute disgrace and shows no respect. If they stopped the players coming in because no one takes any notice everyone would be up in arms.
My opinion and voice is much more important than other peoples rights.
I also yell, kick it up the guts (when there are no options), dont kick it backwards (when there is two minutes to go and we are 8 goals up), get of Raph you hopeless hack (when he has been given a hospital handpass and got caught with it) and miriad other ignorant stupid things.
But I have a right to talk over footballers (who have just played a high intensity game and are giving up their time) and also clap and cheer them in the Victory Room but abuse thjem and personally insult them when I am anonomous.
This post BTW was all done with dripping sarcasm.
Lance or James??

I totally agree.
But I think a big part of the problem is the shyte auction they have beforehand blasting over the PA... people just go into shutdown mode and stay there (I often just have a quick drink and then leave before it even starts).
Do the auction without the PA, anyone who is interested in a really awful framed drawing of Milne, or a Robert Eddy training jumper can gather around the stage.

I think it is because they cant hear the instructions to man up because everyone in the crowd is talking too loud.markp wrote:cowboy18 wrote:+1.joffaboy wrote:I also yell, kick it up the guts (when there are no options), dont kick it backwards (when there is two minutes to go and we are 8 goals up), get of Raph you hopeless hack (when he has been given a hospital handpass and got caught with it) and miriad other ignorant stupid things.

Maybe a hand signal would do the trick... players could grab their crotch and point to the sky.joffaboy wrote:I think it is because they cant hear the instructions to man up because everyone in the crowd is talking too loud.markp wrote:cowboy18 wrote:+1.joffaboy wrote:I also yell, kick it up the guts (when there are no options), dont kick it backwards (when there is two minutes to go and we are 8 goals up), get of Raph you hopeless hack (when he has been given a hospital handpass and got caught with it) and miriad other ignorant stupid things.

"Now the ball is loose, it gives St. Kilda a rough chance. Black. Good handpass. Voss. Schwarze now, the defender, can run and from a long way".....

The Victory Room isn't the only bar open in the stadium after the game. Or in Melbourne for that matter.The other issue is no one really wants to hear standard player speak. I'm sorry but the players just say the same thing "I am just happy to play my role/I don't mind where I play as long as I am helping the team/We are working hard on our structures/We have another tough one next week against [insert team name]."

The best interview I have seen this year was with Westaway, that is the sort of thing that people would be interested in hearing.
The point of difference is that players do an interview in the VR. People who are not interested in what the (pre-advertised) players have to say can drink somewhere else. Or be quiet for the three minutes it takes to complete the interview.
