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:

 

https://www.afl.com.au/broadcast-guide-premiership

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.

Looks as though it had been amended thank goodness !

  • Demonland changed the title to TV Coverage: Round 3

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
