Hey guys

Just looked on AFL.com.au and they are not showing the channel 7 telecast of the Dees V Hawks, instead showing the foxtel game of Brisbane, Adelaide...

To make it even worse...the replay is not on till 11.45pm!!

WHAT THE HELL!!

    way it works interstate my friend... i live in Perth and we didn't get the Geelong v Collingwood game last week... instead got the battle for the spoon on both foxtel and channel 10... would've been furious if I were a cats or pies supporter...

    This happens all the time.

    I don't mind that they show Brisbane games as we are in Brisbane, but it means the Brisbane game is on fox and 7 at the same time and we get shafted all together. For other time slots, like Friday and Saturday night they will air the non-televised game on the Main Event channel, but for some reason they don't do it for Sunday games. We should be able to watch each game somewhere, whether it be free to air, fox sports, or main event.

    So I will be avoiding the Internet, any news, text messages etc, until the replay on fox sports at 7.

    Agreed! Think it's time whoever makes the airing decisions needs a good rocket up the whatsit! There is no reason why they can't show the game on Main Event!

    Not happy, Jan!!!!

    So hopefully with the new TV rights up for sale soon, we could see OneHD getting the game that 7 doesn't want to air (and vice versa)? Or a FTA channel airing the Friday night game on Friday night (as opposed to Saturday morning)?

    (on a related note, I've found the EPG for One horrible. Advertised Geelong v. Collingwood last week, showed WC v. Brisbane. Rubbish.)

    As mentioned on another thread, I thought this crap was sorted out in the last TV deal. Every game should be seen live OR near live anywhere in Australia using the combination of channel 10, channel 7 & Foxtel. Obviously not.

    This SHOULD be rectified in the next deal (we hope).

    There could be a way ;-)

    It absolutely sucks when the footy is not televised, especially for us country supporters who dont have the opportunity to attend the game itself. Back to the dark old ages of radio waves. Better than nothing though... :huh:

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
