The background crowd noise through the game was worthwhile. But the lack of accentuation for key moments (tackles, big marks etc) was missing. The cheer after a score felt more artificial, I think because it came after the goal was scored as opposed to in anticipation of it being scored.
Overall, not as seamless as the NRL coverage which I expected but there are things for Ch7 to work on. Interesting to see how Fox Footy go with their turn,
