Stinkin' Channel 7 have stolen the early game to televise today (Foxtel's coverage), instead of the 2pm game which they are supposed to show. Usually when this garbage happens, Foxtel shows the 2pm game on Main Event. Not today, folks!!!!

I am NOT impressed! Will have to content myself with audio feed of the game from one of the radio stations, via internet. Replay not until 7:30pm on Foxtel.

Did I happen to say I hate Channel 7 and their arrogant approach to their broadcast rights??!!!!!!

We deserve better!

    I too am in SEQ, and it frustrates me too Vagg. Why can't something be done about this? It really is a disgrace.

    Same rubbish in Canberra & Southern NSW. We get the Sydney game on free to air AND Foxtel at the same time.

    I can understand them putting the local game on FTA, but surely the dees would get a foxtel spot. What a joke

    What local game? It's Sydney vs North Melbourne.

    Agree, it's pathetic. When similar nonsence occurred last year and the year before, I wrote to the AFL and the fta TV station expressing my frustration at this lunacy. Guess what? ...... no replies on either occasion! Hopeless!

    The Foxtel games are all allocated before the season starts. Ch.7 is at fault, and they couldn't care less!

    Channel 7 you have your schedules games to cover and should only been changed when you have to cover Lions games. Having foxtel is imperative in NSW & QLD to support your team but not even showing the game on main event is a shambles.

    I'm in the same boat and sadly saw this coming. The sunday double-up has happened quite regularly throughout the season. The coverage to the northern states has definitely worsened since the last deal. It's pretty hard to justify maintaining foxtel when my wife wants to have her monthly 'budget chats' and I pull out the, "it's all about the Melbourne games" retort.

    I can understand the problem when a Brisbane game is on Foxtel, and they double it up on Free-to-Air as well. It creates interest in the "local" team, which gives the game more coverage in a Rugby League dominated state. I don't see the problem showing the game that "misses out" on the main event/518 channel on Austar/Foxtel.

    Today's games are Syd v Nth (1pm), Melb v Ess (2pm), Carl v WB (4pm). Channel 7 and Fox are sharing the 1st game, then Fox showing the twilight game. Channel 7 will be showing the V8's during our game, which is what they have to do because of the rights for that. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for our game not to be on Channel 7, and if, because of TV rights for other sports, this clashes with something else, it should be on either Channel 7two, or Main Event.

    Again, the AFL need to be held responsible for this.

    Not as bad, but why is the game on at 330 today on 7?

    It also didn't happen when Channel 9 had the rights.......

    Basically the networks swapped the broadcast when a Sydney game was scheduled on Foxtel so it would be seen on free to air in the host city.

    This hasn't happened in the last four years or so, to any game on a Sunday that happens to clash with a Swans game.

    Now we just get the same game twice :rolleyes: !!!

    V8's.

    Why do stations commit to two different sporting contracts, when they know that both events are on at the same time?!? At least when 10 had the V8's, they were smart enough to take the saturday games, so that they could put a good effort into both sports. The way 7 do it just means that the fans get a raw deal either way.

    I couldn't believe it when I saw this in the paper. Watched 5 minutes of the Sydney match and fell asleep. Outrageous that ours is the only match not to be carried by any station live.

    Well, I am in Thailand and the Australia Network (ABC Satellite)for most of this year,have shown the MCG Sunday game starting at 11:30am - 30min delay. But for some reason today, they have a bum sniffers Rugby League game on at 1:00pm - not even a major game like ours (Penrith Panstyers v Auckland Worriers)! Then at 3:00pm is the Carlton v Scraggers.

    My only guess is, the programmers are from Sydeny or New Zollen???

    Just had a look at the AFL website, all of our games until round 20 against Hawthorn will be shown live in Brisbane....

    Unfortunately on that Sunday, the lions are playing as well....

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
