Footy fans have lashed out at the AFL’s ‘stupid’ decision to blast rock music after every goal that’s been scored at the MCG during this year’s finals series, saying it ruins the atmosphere at the season’s biggest games.
During Friday night’s big win by Geelong over Brisbane fans were blasted with music after each six-pointer and stoppage in play, with the music from the likes of AC/DC and The Killers drowning out the reaction of the crowd.

The MCG is known for its insane atmosphere, especially throughout finals footy, which attracts some of the biggest crowds in Australian sport.
Fans vented their anger at the AFL after the game, saying the noise took the gloss off the preliminary final.
‘The natural sounds of experiencing a football match have all but been destroyed by the incessant noise and lightshow after ever goal. It has to stop. The beauty of watching Aussie Rules included the roar of a crowd, the conversation with friend and foe beside you,’ a Richmond supporter wrote.
