This is what the tv guide is telling me, and also the Ch7 website. I would've expected it to be delayed, but only by 1 hour, not 2. Can anyone confirm this?

The age has reported that 7 is unlikely to show it live into Melbourne (no surprises) but to not show it live into Perth seems strange. Maybe it is a timing issue. Would a live telecast start around 5.30pm?? Too early for people to get home, relax, have a feed and then settle in. 7.00pm or 7.30pm seems about right.
But it does suck that you have to wait.

I actually think it has something to do with Ch7's obsession with putting Home & Away ahead of every other program lol. Most of the time i don't care, but it IS a prelim!
Starts at 6.30pm according to this website.

6:30 according to my guide, it was 7:30 earlier in the week.
It was reported today that the match would be telecast live into Melbourne, now that all tickets had been sold out.

Ah so it has changed? Thanks.
Coverage starts at 6:30pm with a 1 hour delay according to this. http://www.afl.com.au/Portals/0/afl_docs/2007_Finals_Week_3_TV_Schedule_v1.pdf
The game has been stated as a sellout, tonight Ch10 and Ch7's online media outlets stated the game will be live to Melbourne.
You'd think that stupidity wouldn't stop there and then send it live to the rest of Australia, but as of yet they haven't. Game still on hour delay to all parts except Adelaide and Melbourne.
Go figure, nice work Ch7.

Channel Seven will NEVER show a game live into Perth at 5:30pm. People still heading home from work, news gets rorted... etc.
6pm is the earliest, and it would have to involve the Eagles or Dockers for them to justify it.
Perhaps Melbourne Friday night games should start at 8:30pm EST to cater to us for a change...

after faffing about on the internet for 10 minutes trying to find out when this started here in perth i figured i might as well just come here and see if someone's started a thread about it.
bigfooty delivers.
6.30's a good time i think.
.. . . will have to get to the pub no later than 5.30 for a table i think.

Channel Ten shows games at that time regularly in Perth.
its only about a 30 minute delay and more people will be able to watch it
Nine did it in 05 for the saints/swans prelim

Not for a Friday game tho, 5:30pm on a Saturday is fine, but would be too early for a Friday.

It is amusing that last week on the radio the head of Ch.7 in Perth said that it was "a contractual obligation" for Ch.7 to show the game LIVE into Perth.
A week later, and with the WCE out of the competition, that contractual obligation seems to have slipped down a crack somewhere at the network.
That's it for Ch.7 footy telecasts in 2007. All done. A clown act to cap off clown year of broadcasting on "the home of football".

OMG We get a game live on 7. No way... Can't believe it. Must be the third game all year?
They are ****ing useless...

Not just because I am a Pie fan, but if this game is not broadcast live around the country, Channel 7 should hand the rights back to someone who is actually interested in promoting the game.
This is an outrage, if the "SOLD OUT" game cant be shown to millions around the country live.
It will be bigger than the grand final, I reckon.

I am a Cats supporter living in Queensland. We have an 8:30 start on 7 here after Better Homes and Gardens, a one hour delay!
It almost makes you wish the Lions had made the finals! Then it may have been live at 7:30 pm. We always got the Friday night game live on Fox Sports. But not now the finals are on! Shame on 7!
You would think the AFL would do something about it. Put some pressure on or something. Why not allow it onto Fox if the FTA stations won't show it live?
Now we have to wait another 4 years to the next 'rights' agreement before this can be sorted out.
This will be the first Friday night game I haven't been able to watch live in 2007 and it is an AFL Final! Absolutely ridiculous.
But you guys in the West have been screwed all year!

agreed!
having to wait til 8.30pm every friday sucks if you want to watch a game, it doesn't normally finish til 11.
so sucks if you want to watch and then go out. it's one or the other.
finals haven't been too bad though, tonight i'll just have to avoid a radio between 5.40 & 6.30.
which will be easy to do since i'll be staking out a table at the pub & washing back a couple of cold ones before cheering the g bangers on to victory.
