AFL Live Call in Dinka The Multicultural AFL Football TV & Radio Show - Round 7 By Fiv Antoniou 1/05/2019 NEMBC-3ZZZ Digital on-line live match digital broadcast in GREEK from Marvel Stadium with commentators Iris Filolli and Zisis Pouros, Sunday 1:10pm EST. Welcome to the 7th edition of the NEMBC’s, AFL Footy Blog. The AFL match results this week were more predictable than the previous 5 weeks of competition. After ten days of footy with only a day’s rest in between, I and many other AFL tragics have been thoroughly saturated with Aussie rules. The ANZAC weekend provided lots of action, some entertaining close matches and Geelong rose above the pack while Melbourne was left languishing at the bottom of the ladder. Umpires still feature but are becoming more consistent across all the games. A number of interesting play-on, last minute no free kick decisions in the ANZAC Day match with the Magpies just pipping the Bombers by 4 points and Carlton literally one s

The Multicultural AFL Football TV & Radio Show - Round 6 By Fiv Antoniou 23/04/2019 Welcome to another edition of the NEMBC’s, AFL Footy Blog. The AFL match results continue to be a tipsters nightmare coming into round 6. Umpires are still inconsistent but the incident that took the cake was the ball hitting the inside of the goal post in the first quarter of the Brisbane v Collingwood match at the Gabba which was given as a goal! No one picked up the mistake - not a field umpire, not the goal umpire and, to make things worse, the video review did not pick it up either. The only exception was the TV commentators and   vision. Not good enough in my book! Just imagine if it happened in a grand final. On this occasion this mistake was irrelevant to the overall result of the game, but if it’s not picked up in future it may affect a close result and that would not be good PR for the League. Round 5 consisted of five

Multicultural AFL TV Show Presenters: Habir Singh Kang, Vanessa Gatica and Gabriel D'Angelo with Fiv Antoniou (Executive Producer) The Multicultural AFL Football TV & Radio Show  -  Round 5 By Fiv Antoniou 17/04/2019 Round 4 produced some ludicrous results becoming another tipsters nightmare. However, yours truly is one tip up on the leading Age and Fox Footy tipsters, so I am at least faring better than the rest of the experts on 17! There are six teams on the ladder with 3 wins each enjoying top position on points although separated by percentage. Geelong, GWS Giants, West Coast, Brisbane, St. Kilda and the Gold Coast Suns all share the lead, but one has that feeling that some of the lead contenders will drop out sooner or later. Speculating further, it is possible that Clubs on one win or no wins after 4 rounds still have a chance of making the eight at the end of the home and away season. The unpredi

AFL Football Show Presenters: Vanessa Gatica, Habir Singh Kang and Gabriel D'Angelo The Multicultural AFL Football TV & Radio Show - Round 4 By Fiv Antoniou   10/04/2019 This week: Live match broadcast on 3ZZZ Digital, North Melbourne v. Adelaide Crows from Marvel Stadium. The Dinka (Sudanese) Broadcast starts at 7:20pm Saturday night. Before I preview Round 4, I am going to write about the increasing number of inconsistent umpiring decisions that defy explanation since the beginning of the 2019 season. Last weekend, some of the umpires' decisions, or lack thereof, to award free kicks mesmerised players, coaches, journalists, commentators and frustrated spectators. A “push in the back” free kick that wasn’t paid was a blatant infringement by Buddy Franklin on Liam Jones during the Carlton v. Swans game. According to the umpire officiating, Franklin’s push on Jones was waved as play-on denying the Carlton player the free kick and resulting in an easy S

The Multicultural AFL Football TV & Radio Show - Round 3 By Fiv Antoniou       3/04/2019 Round 2 proved to be another topsy-turvy insight to many teams form as well as producing some incredible results. St Kilda and the Bulldogs are in a strange place with both sides boasting two wins out of as many games and sitting high on the AFL ladder. Hawthorn suffered a humiliating loss after being in front at three quarter time by 5 goals, the Bulldogs kicked 9 goals to one in the last quarter to completely unravel the Hawks. More shocks along the way as the Gold Coast Suns defeated Fremantle and St. Kilda beat Essendon while the highly fancied Demons suffered their second defeat in a row. This Thursday the Crows, at home, take on the Geelong Cats who have two emphatic victories so far this season and on paper at least, look the goods to bury Adelaide. Dangerfield, Ablett and Tom Hawkins will prove too much on the night for “Tex” Walker and Co.….And for the margin tipste
