Sorry to harp on about this...but I think it is time action must be taken.

Yet again Foxtel and Seven are showing Syd v Ric at the same time this Sunday.

Good Side = Dees will annihilate the Saints

Bad Side = We have to wait until the 7:30pm or 12:00am replay to see it.

'Promoting the game' hahahaha haha more like promoting a team!

I am absolutely sick of this!!!

This is the email address to foxsports however i know from previous attempts that it is useless.

[email protected]

I think the next couple of games for us are at 2.00pm on a Sunday which means that it will not be telecast live!!

Guess I will have to stay away from tv and radios all day until 7.30pm for a while.

I think you'd have to talk to the AFL, or channel 7. Because fox have to show 2 sunday games live don't they? to keep 4 a round. Maybe try to get a hold of a media relations person from the AFL?

Sunday AFL Coverage in ACT, NSW and QLD

Dear Sir/ Madam,

For a third week this year both Foxtel and Channel Seven are showing the same game, at the same time, on the same day into the ACT, NSW and QLD.

This Sunday's game between Sydney and Richmond will be shown live on Foxtel and Seven into ACT, NSW and the QLD leaving no live coverage of the 2pm game.

I can understand the need to expose the Sydney and Brisbane based teams into their respective areas. However I see no reason why at least one of the two channels can show the alternative game. After all I thought the idea was to promote the 'Game' rather than select teams. I have also noted the games shown have been blow outs, while the other, 2.10 games have been close contests.

Seven really needs to have a look at this seriously as this does not occur for any other sport in Australia. I have also noticed that Seven sometimes shows alternate AFL shows into the ACT, NSW and QLD on Seven HD (Sunday's at 10:30am). At the very least I would have thought the 2.10 game could be broadcast on Seven HD as you are already covering the game for Victorian viewers.

This is not a one off situation and I am not sure it has been picked up by Seven, the AFL or Foxtel.

Many other ACT, NSW and QLD based AFL fans would like to see some action taken on this. If need be a petition will be distributed and delivered to you.

Regards,

Are you sure it's not on main event (for NSW/QLD/ACT only) this Sunday?? - though it didn't happen yesterday, often when Swans are on Fox Sports and 7 or 10 the other game goes onto Main event.

Nah Kryton, only for Friday night games have I noticed they use the Main Event channel. I cant believe this is happening again. This is 3 out of the last 4 games, unbelievable!!!!!!!

Yep, I headed to the local club in sunday just to be told that the Demons game couldn't be shown up here. Just the one game showing, the other was cricket of some kind, with one guy snoring gently in front of it.

It would seem pretty basic maths - two simultaneous channels (seven/ten plus foxtel), two games live.

The previous day I'd headed down on a whim to catch Carlton v Freo and Port v Sydney.

Couldn't catch either for 45 minutes - replay of the Friday night Collingwood game was the only thing on offer.

The live football had to wait for the filth to finish up.

Guys your wasting your time...

It would be valid to do all these things if the afl cared..but they dont

Its about the almighty dollar and who will pay what for advertising.. nothing to do with the acrtual game.. if they think they will get more sponser money, advertising money from a different game then they will go with that.. until melbourne lifts itself from the bottom of the ladder things wont change..

remember when we made the finals.. tv coverage was sweet the whole of the next year.. and our draw was pretty good too..

its all about supporters going and advertising.. sad but true..

You dont want to know how much they try and charge for queens birthday game advertising...Crazy almost as bad a a full page in the herald sun for a month

Have you written to the AFL?

I have written twice to the AFL (the second letter was addressed personally to Demetriou). Didn't even do me the courtesy of acknowledging my correspondence, let alone responding to the concerns I raised about promoting the AFL in the traditionally non-AFL regions.

I live in Canberra and last year we had the even more ridiculous situation of both free to air TV and Foxtel broadcasting the Melbourne v Swans game that was played at Manuka Oval!

Not confident that it will do any good, but I'd hapilly pin my name to a petition. I'm sure members of the Canberra Demons would do likewise.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
