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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
