When the 4 game fixture was announced our game this weekend was to be televised FTA on Ch 7:

I have noticed that the FTA coverage has disappeared now from the broadcast guide on the AFL site:

Same also when checking the TV guide for this week.  

What is going on?

    The broadcast arrangements were revised last week. I wonder if the agreement came into effect immediately and our game this week was booted from its free to air spot.

    None of the other games on the Sunday are listed as free to air. The sunday arvo game rolls in to the news (which is why it starts at 3:20) so channel 7 wouldn't want the other ones so is perhaps it is an oversight?

    Nothing on the MFC site yet.

    Clicking on the second link provided by George it does show our game as FTA. Maybe it was fixed a short time ago.C815B906-DCA7-449D-9640-FCF83DF1EC6D.thumb.jpeg.6cfdf29011fe031713757b422e199f22.jpeg

    That’s funny, when I clicked it the channel 7 ‘free to air tv’ logo definitely wasn’t there. 

    Edit: The game time is showing as 1:35pm for me so it’s picked up that I’m in Perth therefore won’t be on 7 over here.

    Seems that's likely but ur means 7 FTA is on only now on Thurs and Frid night games !!

    Seems to me the AFL site is not being maintained well at present. Last weekend it was very difficult to find  the game date scores etc.

    They have a new web provider apparently.The format is very similar to that used in soccer and NRL with timelines etc. The stats page is all over the place (or is it just different). One stat that I could not find was hit outs.

    The match day function is a a mess compared to the simple format they used to have.

    In the end of the day they are trying to make money out of it and info for fans is secondary. I really object to being funneled through their site for internet radio coverage. Just a way of getting more clicks for their advertisers...may as well employ a click farm for all the good it does.

    That website is a bleedin' joke!  Can't find anything of any use very easily!  And, the MFC site is just as bad...!!

    The website is a disgrace for such a big organization

    has been for a long time, and as soon as they get it stable they introduce a lot of format changes which don't improve anything and just introduce new bugs

    telstra must give a good discount because they don't provide quality web design

    agree, but they seem to have plumbed new depths now.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
