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?

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
