I can't sleep so today's season fixture lift out in the little paper provides the following information:

Number of games per team that are live on foxtel this season;

Adel 17

Freo 17

WCE 16

Port 15

Bris 14

Syd 14

Melb 12

St.K 12

Nth 11

Foot 11

Ess 8

Gee 7

Carl 6

Haw 6

Rich 6

Coll 4

1: Looking at the numbers, I assume Foxtel must either get 3rd pick nearly every week after 7 & 10 OR Their market penetration in Adelaide & Perth must be even worse than their 25% National figure and it's mostly a marketing decision.

2: I think we can sheet the blame back to Kerry Packer, (who pushed up the rights bid), for the fact that half of the matches played each round are now only available to the 25% of the population who have/can afford pay & pay & pay & pay television.

3: Incidentally, given the press today, if Port Adelaide supporters can't afford to go to the footy I can't see them coming up with the dough for Foxtel with Sports. (I certainly can't justify it in our budget)

 

I for one like foxtel showing the games. Simply if it wasn't there we would not see 1/2 as many MFC games on free to air.

Being that we are the highest ranking vic side I think it tells the tail of our ratings values for prime time ATM.

I assume those are the games shown live on Fox Sports in Victoria.

Are you sure that there aren't more games shown FTA in each team's home state?

 

KW, those figures are for Victoria. Adel gets FTA coverage of its matches much more often.

I'm surprised at how often St Kilda is on Foxtel. Made the prelims last year, but have as much exposure on FTA as us. Unlucky them.

Collingwood 4 times. That's good. Means I won't see alot of them this season. :lol:

25% of the population getting to see the other 4 games on tv is a hell of a lot better than the 0% that used to when 7 had footy to themselves. There's never been more footy on free to air telly than there is now. There's plenty of things to sheet blame on Kerry Packer for, but this isn't one of them

ess with 8 games, with their fan base this is a real supprise for me. Even though they have an average side I still would have thought they would have been up in the top 3? Good stuff 8 less essendon games I have to watch!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
