Normally I would. But I'll be out of town with the family. Wanted to record it, but no dice.

Maybe I could just subscribe to Foxtail like everybody else.

    Secondly, Channel 7 won't have to fork out all the cash associated with running two different telecasts. As a national network, it has to make the best financial decisions on a national scale.

    Exactly, but when it all comes down to it Channel 7 couldn't give a rats ass about what the supporters want all they care about is making more money. And that is there job so fair enough i dont have a problem with a broadcaster who's main purpose is to make money prioritising that. It's the AFL's responsibility (who rely on fans for success) to look out for their fans and right now they dont do a very good job when it comes to broadcast/streaming rights. They say they have negotiations but clearly the AFL does nothing but sit and listen to Channels 7, 9 and 10 all say they want to broadcast and regardless of their plans the AFL sits there with glazed over eyes signing "Money money money" in their heads.

    ... I feel i went on a bit of an unintentional rant just there but the point is don't blame channel 7, blame the AFL they should never have given broadcasters so much power

    No extra cash involved, cameras commentators everything is done, anyway rather watch in HD no ads on Foxtel

    I'd prefer Foxtel as well, given the choice. Unless there is an alteration in the agreement between Foxtel and Seven, Foxtel isn't just going to 'give' the broadcast to Seven. It would cost them extra to broadcast two games. At the very least, Seven would have the costs of on-air personnel.

    Full replay is also 12 hours delay (which is horse s#!t because there is no reason why it cant be up 5 min after the game finished... the NBA does it with their replays and they even have multiple commentary selections!)

    And the only navigation in full replay is selecting which quarter due to the crappy silverlight video player they insist on using you cant skip to any part of the video without loading the whole thing first. 

    Long story short for a $90 a year service is absolute crap (or $180 if you dont take the time to read the T&C) but given I cant get foxtel thats the best we have :(

    If you click on the link at the bottom you can navigate to Marks I50, free kicks, behinds or goals. This is not a bad way to move to the point you want to get to......Its not ideal but it works

    I thought I was an4l. Rather is followed by a base verb. Prefer by an infinitive. 

    So it should have been, "anyway I'd rather watch in HD with no ads on Foxtel". But keep up the good work, we need more grammar nazis.

    or "anyway I'd prefer to watch in HD with no ads on Foxtel".

    Wasn't having a go at your choice of words, Mandee. If you look I edited the post because for some reason when I first tried to post, it only posted the first two words.

    I believe that is the smart replay not the full replay available through the live pass

    Don't worry. I am when it comes to the errant " 's" that appears way to often in some places.

    well the thing to do is stop watching other clubs televised games like the Pies & the Bummers.  They greedily take the bulk of live TV.  at the expense of struggling clubs.. Its unequal opportunity, causing inequity,  resulting in handouts.  >  Unsustainable.

     

    So don't patronise the Bummers & the Pies.  Or do, at Our expense.   Protest by not being a part of the problem.  support the underdog.  Us atmo.

    I'd like to make it known the Maple does attend games even though she often has the misfortune of having to sit next to some rather boorish behaviour from people who are ugly enough to know better.I know this for a fact as she often tries to get my help in abducting children to sell overseas.

    Ah well, our game wasn't going to be live on 7 anyway.

    If I was running channel 7 I would only telecast an game involving the drug cheats if there was no other options 

    You'd love to broadcast their smashings to the masses however...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
