This was on the tail end of the fixture article for next year:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/mond...x-1225792251723

"the Sunday twilight Western Bulldogs-Collingwood clash in Round 22 was always a recipe for disaster as both appeared certain to play finals.The draw will reward the elite teams with plenty of free-to-air games, but Melbourne has successfully lobbied for fewer Demons games on Foxtel. the Demons had just 10 games on Seven or Ten."

Which is great for the club and me as I don't have foxtel...and being WA to see the boys play more often.

    actually, as far as melbourne-based supporters go, i'm not that fussed. it will mean that people will actually have to come to our games, rather than stay at home and watch them. it will only help our financial situation, and we can't really complain about that.

    sucks for supporters scattered around the rest of the country though.

    Not exactly... In Perth for example, free to air games will be bumped for Freo or West Coast games, if those games are allocated to Foxtel and are on around the same time... But it doesn't work the other way around, so the FTA game that is bumped, won't be on any TV at all except for a delayed replay on Foxtel later that night at some stage...

    I'm moving to Perth next year, and looking at the fixture, there will be only 2 games I won't be able to see over in WA. When we play Carlton and Sydney, both at the G I believe... Could've been a lot worse...

    When it comes out, if it hasn't come out already, can someone point me in the direction of the NSW/ACT TV draw. I'm there next year.

    Much appreciated.

    Don't forget you can always stream games live off your computer, Just ask before a game & you will find the right place-I watched Finals in asia on computers this year.

    well no...not really! I live in Brisbane and without Foxtel, I'd see hardly any games all year!

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
