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.

Lets go Vegas

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

Umpires already instrumemtal in 2 BRIVEGAS Goals no 22 shocking

Oscar McInerny looked in incredible pain with that shoulder.


FFS Abbie, stop saying you'll keep us updated.

That's your job.

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?

Oscar will come out with one arm missing. He's tough

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: 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
