I think we have to reluctantly go for Brisbane today, right?

    Excellent forward pressure by Lions. Need to convert more into goals

    Yep. I couldn't care then who would win out of Sydney v Brisbane

    Really ump?

    I can see why it was paid, but it wasn't there

    I truly reckon there should be only 3 field umpires, with 2 'subs'. 

    If a senior umpire up in the control booth think one or more umps are having a bad game, sub them out!

    This is entertaining. 

    Hope they beat the carp out of each other and the Swans run over one of them next week.

    Really don't like either team but it's the hate for Geelong that makes me hope Lions get up by one point.

    Having spent 2 years working in the Advertising Department of GTV when Kerry ran the joint, we did a lot of Research into all the things you mention.

     
    But I don’t buy it so much today. People will watch Sports on an iPhone now, so you don’t have to be home at a certain time.

    I watched last year’s GF on the AFL  website Live on the phone, this push for the night timeslot is overrated, as are Fireworks and Halftime entertainment 

    But how many people have shifted away from FTA? A big number, I'd agree but Rugby League & the AFL still gets millions of eyes watching ... on FTA

    There has certainly been a shift  and Free-to-air is struggling but it won't die. Not in the near future and certainly not with regards to the 2 big sports in this country

    And FTA is paying the NRL & the AFL $Billions for the right to broadcast the games

    They are not forking out that sort of money unless they are getting a decent return

    My view is that the FTA commercial networks needs live sport more than they ever did.  Why else would the the last AFL broadcast deal go for $4.5Billion?  

    But you won't see the commercial networks clamouring for the A-League in a hurry.  Doesn't rate (although, the A-League is on 10Bold on Saturday nights and 5pm Sundays

    The main Ch10HD channel will be broadcasting an NBL every Sunday afternoon from 2.30pm (every week) throughout the summer

    AFLW gets heaps of live coverage on Ch7.  2 games every Sunday for starters

    So there seems to be more live sport on the FTA channels as there ever was

    Which can only lead to one conclusion ... that people are still watching FTA TV in large numbers (sports included)

    The overseas model paints a different picture but the overseas captive audience is enormous

    Nathan Williamson is umpiring. Somehow Melbourne will manage to get crucified today.

    We've seen how poorly he umpires the footy for years and he's been no better this year.

    How does he get selected to umpire a prelim?

    Hopefully they can put it back in & strap it. They need him out there

    Every time I see him I laugh about the story that he told security at the MCG to tell our cheer squad to stop calling him ‘haircut’. It’s too funny!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
