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

    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
