Monday Night Footy highlights AFL's inequalities

Stop whining. Geelong havent even had a game on free-to-air yet.[Great game against the doggies.

WTF is your problem. Show me where he states where he lives? I asked a simple question. Geez you sainters are touchy of late. Must be all this bedsport without climax. Sorry, I meant making finals with no flag to show.



I dont live with my parents.... you only wish you lived where I do. Btw, I travel more each month than you have in your sad sorry life.



.....and this has what to do with anything? Childish. Win a flag before you can talk to me about football.

PS: There's your nibble. Enjoy it.

Sorry, I didn't realise YOU were a premiership player Ari...congratulations

PS: I certainly don't want to live where you do (you strange little man) and I don't want to compare our travels (I was born in Melbourne but been everywhere else since unfortunately)

As I said, enjoy your year.

Cheers.... being a Sainter, I thought you might have lived in Melbourne . . .

I do when I have a choice.

I'm a South Aussie, living in NSW, and have found that it is always Port Adelaide that suffers the rough end of the FTA/Cable scheduliing for games.

Whenever Port plays, be it friday, saturday night, or monday night, or even sunday afternoon, the majority of the time their games are pushed back to 1130pm and sometimes 130am.

Even on NSW radio, Port Adelaide games are seldom mentioned either, whether it is the radio updating live scores from around the grounds or reporting on the final scores. It's always Sydney Swans mentioned only, even in a full round, or Sydney Swans and other games on the same day the Swans are playing, but no mention of other games from previous days action. Often, they even get the final or updated scores completely wrong (like they dont even care).

Unfortunately, in Sydney, there is still an attitude that only the Rugby League matters, and there is a definite perception that such games like Adelaide v Fremantle, or Port Adelaide v West Coast, aren't important for any Sydneysiders to care about knowing the live scores of or being told who won on the radio and sometimes even on television news.

Jeff, sell out the MCG and u can have live footy too.

Bingo

 

[FIGJAM]

That McGuire feller must have someting to do with this. Must!!!

Wasn't channel 10 covering last nights game ? If so, what in hell has this got to do with Collingwood and Eddie ?

 

[mediumsizered]

FWIW, Fox Footy would have loved to have shown it earlier but were hamstrung by the broadcast agreement, and Channel 10 flexed what little muscle they have (with the support of the AFL) and said no thanks.

for some unknown reason the game was on at 7:30 on the Gold Coast. Almost fell out of the chair when i saw the ad for it on sunday. btw, havent seen any eagles games yet fta. thought we might have had a show on sunday but got the goddam swans again.

Collingwood/Adelaide round 1 - live into the Northern States on Fox Footy

St Kilda/Port Adelaide round 4 - no coverage until 11:30pm (both FTA & Foxtel)


This despite the fact the Saints were the most watched team over the first three rounds.

Again highlights how the "system" is designed to ensure some teams thrive and will others can please themselves.

You would hope you are the most watched team considering you played in the season opener and two Friday night matches. Saints have something like 11 night matches this year including the 3 they have already played which is plenty of coverage IMO.
