It is a disgrace, with the internet and other live games going on to show an interstate game on delay is terrible. Would be great for the next tv deal if foxtel got rights to all games. They show it live and do a proper pre match. Worth the extra coin!

Hell no! I have no intention of getting foxtel.

dur, this is the real crime in 7's broadcasting, not friday nights at the 'G.

why is this delayed? its not like better homes and gardens is on first. it is on because they can cut from the final siren straight to the news. AND IT WORKS AND PEOPLE WATCH IT. if you want to [censored] with them, change the bloody channel when the game ends and dont watch their news.

btw - it is an absolute disgrace. A.D. you have a lot to answer for - ross oakely wouldnt have stood for this crud.

I don't have a problem with a small delay. The broadcasters pour a lot of money into the sport, and if they think they are best served by a small delay that's fair enough.

It's not like they'll start the coverage by going live to the game as it is at 3PM - into the second quarter - like Chan 9 did with the World Cup.

The main reasoning is the extra minutes of ad breaks and channel 7's ability to run the game into the primetime news at 6. The only thing that will change this is if the game actually starts at 3 (similar to the debate of live Friday night footy... live games but games that start later so that both the AFL and broadcaster are appeased)

Being a Sunday afternoon game Channel 7 has to play thier mandatory Sunday Afternoon Elvis Presley movie...usually it's Blue Hawaii or It happened at the Worlds Fair..

I'll be in Perth for a wedding so whist working off the hangover i'll watch most of the Dees live then head to Subiaco to watch Freo and the Kangas...

Not a bad sunday coming up!

Spot on. CH 7 can play far more ads during a delayed (and stretched) Telecast.

If Ch 9 get the next broadcast right, they will probably do exactly the same on a sunday arvo.

That's my gripe too, Channel Ten manage to delay games on a Saturday but run them "as live". There was a game in Adelaide either last year or the year before which actually began at 2:40pm local time yet Seven manged to slip into delay during the coveage to run into the news. They did the same at Bathurst last year.

There was also the game last year in Adelaide featuring the Blues that was a pretty long one (I think there was a stretcher).

7, for some reason, had the game on delay but ended up running about 2 minutes behind live because of how long the game went.

the worst thing about it is that they don't even broadcast the footy in HD (like Foxtel and One do)...

Basically everyone now owns these big beautiful LCD's and Plasma's and then we get a horrible grainy Standard Def footy game to watch on it.

It's an absolute joke, that should just simulcast it on one of their other 'HD' channels like TEN do.

Its 2011 FFS.

Frankly, I'd like to let my demon out on them.

Unfortunately because Fremantle are playing Sunday, the game won't be on television here at all. So if you're complaining about not getting it live, spare a thought for us. Seven show these matches sometimes, but the V8 Supercars will be on instead on Sunday.

The only way you could watch the game is by going to a pub that has a Satelite feed from interstate. The Western Demons supporter group are having a function in Yokine, whilst the Wembley Hotel has shown these matches in the past, and that's not all that far from Subi oval.

To Broadcast in HD costs more money...More Ads. The TV stations only make money during september. The Home and Away they only go close to Breaking even.

So as bad as it is Ch 7 will run ads to the max as much as they liked because the Footy cost them a lot.

The next Broadcast deal could be worse if it hits a $$ Billion. (That is a lot of 30 second spots)

Actually , I think it would be more effective to run a campaign not to buy products advertised on Channel 7 during delayed broadcasts. I have a suspicion similar campaigns have worked elsewhere - but can anyone help with evidence to support that statement?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
