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!

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

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!

That's disgraceful.

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

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

Its a disgrace......

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.

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: !!!

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

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....

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
