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 !!

    if that's what Gil has arranged its nit such a great deal then.

    Uts the same as fir the next 2 rounds vs Geel and Sydney

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
