I'm a bit confused with the telecast tonight, on the abc site it says they will be showing the game live on ABC 2. Does that mean you need digital access to watch the game?

 

[bananabenda]

Yep, unless you have a Pay-TV outlet that gets ABC 2 (Austar Channel 126) OR are in the NT where there's a replay at 11PM on normal ABC OR I believe the NIRS is calling the game.

Or a Standard Definition/High Definition Set Top Box (Either one will do)

Jetta put that lace out to Johns from the boundary on the 50, very very nice kick, heard a few footsteps earlier which wasnt to good.

Been impressed with Lonergan for Essendon, he's been very good so far IMO.
