What integrity?Would this effect the integrity of the draw, if the clubs are missing from the fta deal surely they're less likely to get the prime spots?

No, Seven was the only FTA broadcaster. They showed some games, and some games were exclusive to Optus Sport.Didn't it used to be that way before foxtel?
You really don’t understand business from a financial senseI wish 7, 9 and 10 split the 9 games between the 3 of them. Every game on FTA on some channel. Fox can have them all with an option for their own commentary and no ads.
An average round looking like:
Friday Night - 7
Sat Arvo 1 - 9
Sat Arvo 2 - 10
Sat Twilight - 7
Sat Night 1 - 9
Sat Night 2 - 10
Sun Arvo 1 - 9
Sun Arvo 2 - 10
Sun Twilight - 7

Have North been on FTA at all this year apart from Good Friday?It just means they're in the same FTA pool as the other clubs. It doesn't mean they're not going to be seen on FTA again, it just suggests there's a chance they will lose out on having every single game aired on FTA.
No Victorian club gets a deal that good.
Much rather Paramount/10 take over then I don't have to feel dirty lining Murdoch's pockets every time I use Kayo.If this is what's needed to keep the game away from Paramount+ then so be it.
Or its a ploy by Fox to get Ch7 to produce more Port/Crows/Freo/Eagles games so that Fox get more games with the big vic clubs.Have North been on FTA at all this year apart from Good Friday?
I think the problem would be that smaller clubs like Fremantle and Port would get shafted like the smaller Vic clubs do. Also the WA clubs get a lot of Sunday twilight games which aren't FTA
Pretty short sighted move that would kill long term interest in the game here
I'm ok with it. I've had to pay to see my team for years. Suck it up sooks.
We have plenty.You won't get any new fans if you force them to pay.

If you are going to suggest a Victorian bias, it's probably a wise idea to look at overall numbers by club. The two teams with the highest number of FTA games this year so far are Sydney and GWS - 18/19 games on FTA. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on there. Both teams have only had one game so far this year that wasn't FTA. Port are doing pretty well with nine - ahead of Collingwood, Geelong, Essendon and Hawthorn. West Coast, Adelaide, Fremantle and Gold Coast near the bottom but North Melbourne last with just the two.
(Happy to stand corrected on my numbers - I quickly knocked up a spreadsheet from here)

I think McLaughlin's on 360 tonight, wonder if the weasel or the slob will put it to him?
Ask North fans how many games they have on FTA this year.I don’t have a problem with home games being on delayed telecast to incentivise people to attend, however they still need to be available on FTA.
Majority of the fans depending on a whole range of reasons wont be in a position to attend games however that shouldn’t prevent them from being able to still watch them on FTA.
Any deal like the proposed would lose more fans than any added funds from streaming services will gain and result in a net loss.
Would have preferred them be removed from the AFL but will settle for this in the interim.
We have plenty.
Ask North fans how many games they have on FTA this year.
It’s a crap idea. A two-team state should FTA broadcast all 42 relevant games. Sacred!
Victoria having 10 clubs is their own unique mess, it should have no bearing on the other markets.
