Can anyone tell me why for the last two matches at least Foxtel do not have a time clock or even show the scores until after a goal is scored? Does my set simply need adjusting? Also their different camera angles is so confusing and at times it looks like one team or the other is kicking to the wrong end. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Help please.

    Do you have an old-fashioned TV or a flat-screen TV with the wider screen? Does the picture look all out of proportion (all the players really short and fat)?

    It's a new wide screen TV.(Flat screen). Players seem to have normal appearance.

    Can you see the Fox Sports watermark on the top right hand side of the screen? If not, or if half of it is cut off, I'm thinking that your actual television might have a zoom function that you might have accidentally pressed on your TV's remote. It's hard to diagnose without actually seeing it, and in any case, it may have been something with the actual broadcast while you were watching it. Maybe you could check out a different game during today or tomorrow's replays and see if there is still a problem. If there is, then I think that what I just mentioned might be true.

    Many thanks mate for your helpfulness. I get a full picture with Ch 7 and 10. But not Foxtel. BTW I am assuming that they do show the time clock and current scores? Once again your input is much appreciated. Cheers.

    • 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.
