God I hope not! Trust me Nine will be as bad if not worse than Seven and there will still be no HD. Three things in all this:
1. Nine are more than happy for Foxtel to simulcast all games because that means Foxtel are putting up more $ which Nine actually don't have and they don't have the...
I thought the same thing so rewound an watched it again a few more times. Totally unacceptable and umpire Wenn should NEVER be allowed to umpire another game. If anyone is out of his league it is umpire Wenn who consistantly gives umpiring a bad name.
Re: Cotchin Gets 4 Weeks or 3 With Early Plea
Where did they pull 4 from???? Seriously worth one at the absolute most. Contact with the back is NOT high. Yes it was slightly late but a couple of years ago before that clown Anderson came along and screwed the game up it would have been a 50 at...
The biggest problem is number 21 in red. I have no idea why but for some reason he hates Richmond and either pays frees against when there is nothing there or doesn't pay a deserved free.
What do you mean becoming a joke? It was a joke from the beginning with that oxygen thief Hutchison involved and got worse when they bought in Mr Negative Grant Thomas
He didn't give a warning he wasn't close enough, just ran in and decided to ruin the game and if he heard what was said from where he was he would have to have bionic hearing.
Knew that fool McBurney would make his incompetent mark on the game at some point. Butt out, we know you love to see your ugly mug on TV, but we don't!
It appeared to me that the umpire in question actually more walked into it and made it worse. Considering that you can't even look in the direction of the precious souls, Shaw is looking at life.
Probably was like that because thats how it should have been. Check the AFL Website, it refers to the game the same way, and did even before the game started.
I don't believe it has been harsh at all. I'm involved in another sport where recruiting and retaining umpires is a challenge so I'm the last person that would go out and say anything about an umpire in any sport unless I thought there was an issue. From what I have seen of him I don't know...
Half the problem is they are a protected species. If they were more accountable for some of the rediculous decisions that they make then things might improve, but while they can hide it just encourages mediocraty.
As ozasismick said, they can't due to Government regulations. From next year they can show alternative programming on another SD channel, however I don't know for sure if that would have solved the problem of showing AFL on one and Olympics on another or alterative Olympic events.

Matthew Nicolls is the WORST umpire EVER in every league! Not only is he out of his depth at AFL level he would be out of his depth in Under 12's.
Just saw his report of Troy Simmonds what a joke! Nicholls should be reported for bringing the game into disrepute.
Love the comments from the...
Seven own the rights to everything pre late 80's/1990 (can't remember the exact year, but is somewhere around there), and are free to use that footage as much as and whenever they like.
Foxtel only bought the old ABC archives when they were unable to buy/access the Seven archives.
Actually it was the second. Besides personally I think 8:30 on a Friday night is a better time than 7:30. It allows people to get home from work, the pub, or even get home from late night shopping and have hardly missed any of the game.
Don't see what that has to do with it, considering it was on the news (which you said in your original post).
Which brings me to something else: You all keep whinging about....crowd noise. Who cares!! If you want to hear crowd noise get off your a*** and go to the game.
If you listened properly they actually said they were the last team to win the flag that is still in the race this year.
To everyone whinging about cutting to the end of the game, I suspect you should be complaining about Prime as it didn't happen in Melbourne.
To those whinging about the...
