B & F live stream

[Primmy]

Thank you Annie, I knew you could do it.

Very impressed that you typed that at 1.57am after a night out like that with lucidity and accuracy~!

Did Parker win something remember him being on stage?

He was recognised for reaching the 100 game milestone during the season.

The stream worked very well but I didn't like the presentation of the votes. It was impossible to see who had scored what. It might have been fine to read at the event (though the scores were probably flashed up too quickly even for "live" watchers). But via the stream, the angle of vision made it unreadable.

[Primmy]

Agree with you there liz. I gave up completely. I hope the Swans will post them on their site some time . It would be interesting. I am sure someone else other than Joey got a 50. I just couldn't see who it was.

I think it was Tippett.

Didn't watch the stream.

I know there was lengthy interview with Goodesy but can anyone tell me if there was a audio/visual tribute?

Yes there was. Goodsey was very pleased, he called out to his girlfriend that that was what he used to be able to do back in the day. It was a very happy send off all round.

Thanks Primmy. Great to hear!

I completely agree. The past presentation of the votes, in ascending order, ensured we could see the assessment of each player and created a little dramatic crescendo (and audience appreciation) as the top vote recipient was reached for each game. The method used this year lacked drama. If it was changed to save time it didn't work. I hope they change it back.

The presentation of the votes sucked at the venue as well.
At the time, I thought, oh, they must be doing this so that it looks good online... silly me!!
They only had the scores up on one screen (even though there were six screens in the room), and sitting right up in the back corner (with the paying punters), you couldn't see jack.
It was a great idea marketing department... now go back to the way it was.

Here are some pics.

Love the photos! Straight to the pool room for a couple of them I'd say.

Complain to marketing about the presentation; they will at least get back to you. I have always found that the squeaky wheel gets oiled, especially when it comes to fans (witness my complete meltdown when marketing tried to use the Sydney chant as a rev up - they listened and apparently, found out much later, my furious communication has been used as a 'this is what we don't do' lesson).

Good girl.
It really was a joke.
The graphics looked fabulous... pity you couldn't read the content.
For those of us running a tally on our cloth napkins, it made it hard to keep up.
In the end, I said to the table, "look, Joey has won it already" (halfway through the night) and we just gave up and continued drinking.
I'm so glad I was right. You can't play 11 games with 30+ possessions and not poll big.

[Triple B]

I'm interested in the votes for Rd 23 to see if Hanners getting enough votes to win the coaches award was all kocher...

Good girl. . . and we just gave up and continued drinking.

I presume you are talking about your drinking on the night? I would have put money on you Annie.

The video stream was better than last year but fell over at crucial moments.
