Very surprised no one has touched on this here yet, but I've noticed over the past three weeks the ABC have been banned from having the audio from coaches addressing the players on the ground during the break.
Being able to listen to the coaches was one of the highlights of watching the VFL, we've come to expect this as part of the TV coverage so to have it all of a sudden stopped after goodness knows how long seems pretty disappointing.
I know a few coaches have sworn over the years, but if naked French women can appear in movies on SBS, I'm not sure the ABC needs to be so precious about the odd magic word being dropped. Surely they could put an on screen warning that swearing may occur before they cross to the huddle, or rate the VFL coverage "M" :lol:
Any thoughts?
I'll see if I can pick that on the reply on Saturday night, can't watch it tonight as Dad doesn't have a set top box at his place.
Some people have no idea.
It would be a bit difficult for Lovett to be the culprit for a couple of reasons.
1. It was stated to be a SANFL match
2. Frankston had not been on TV at all for the year when the plug was pulled on the huddles.
But don't let the facts impact on your story.
Just slander a bloke for no reason. Ordinary at best.
I think Lovett may have been the reason SEN stopped doing the huddles. I do remember The Ox mentioning it on Saturdays coverage.
That was mentioned a couple of times in recent weeks.
