Carlton are back in the September action, and Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) has been swept up by Blues Finals fever, announcing a bespoke commentary broadcast tailored to passionate Blues supporters.
To celebrate their first Final in over a decade, SEN will broadcast an unashamedly biased commentary for the big match against the Swans.
The Blues parochial commentary, made possible thanks to Carlton’s Member Partner BUPA, will call all the action through a Blues lens, hosted by the one-eyed Carlton trio of Andy Maher, Mark Maclure, and club legend Wayne Johnston.
The Blues focused commentary will be available exclusively on DAB+ radio and the SEN app. Those looking for a more traditional call of the game haven’t been forgotten either, with AFL Nation’s commentary available on SEN 1116am and SEN’s digital platforms. Fans can simply visit the SEN app and choose their desired commentary to experience the match, whether that be a call straight down the middle or one favouring the Blues!
Andy Maher, who was forced to sit through Carlton’s Round 23 demise to Collingwood last season without letting his emotions get the better of him, said he looked forward to having his passion for the Blues spill over into his commentary.
“Let’s be honest, the Carlton army has been quiet for too long at this time of the year. It’s time our September voices be heard again, without the need to offer the other mob a fair go or an impartial eye. We watch this game with one eye.
And what better way to do it than between Premiership royalty, flanked be seven flags, shoulder-to-shoulder with the bluest of blood.
Just one thing: should it not go our way, any video recordings will be destroyed upon the sounding of the final siren.”
