Fixture's out
12 definite matches on free to air (C7) and likely a 13th in round 23. Rest of foxtel.
An absolute crap scheduling of matches as well ... I'm almost surprised we get to play on Saturdays.
Pity that breakaway competition contemplated a long way back didn't eventuate.
God, I hate the AFL >:D
There's only 4 spots on FTA and 9 games per typical week. They're never going to put games up against each other on their digital channels (can they start doing that next year?)
Half on air sounds about right when you finished 8th. It's not like if it wasn't on Foxtel then it would be on FTA.
Quick scan of the draw looks ok, bit of a soft start and all going well, could hit the bye in rnd 8 looking real good.
I reckon we had a lot more on FTA last year did we not? 'Bout time the idiots at the AFL thought outside the square and offered delayed / next day matches on 7 digital.
I can't watch many matches on FTA....camera and commentary does my head in.
I think so but we didn't play that nice a football and we finished 8th so....
Isn't it available on the internet?
Just realised, 14 night, 2 twilight (night), 4 day games. I reckon in the past, we have played better in the day than at night. Hope we address this.
At least we are the away team in the Sunday night games against the Pies and Bombers.
;D
Round 23 v Essendon is Friday at 12am. Perfect way to end a night out on Thursday night. ;D
Yep... Now I'm definitely not going!
Lucky we got rid of Hampson then.
Always struggled in Night matches.
13 games (max) FTA in 2014 .... 17 games FTA in 2013
Freaking crap. And Channel 7 think they'll get their money by broadcasting GWS vs North games!
(Obviously i don't have Foxtel)
We desperately need the option of a PayTV footy channel where you can subscribe without having to buy all the other Foxtel stuff, which I really don't want, i.e Starter pack. Wouldn't mind even being able to watch games on a pay per view basis.
Agree cookie. I'd happily pay $30-$40 per month for six months of the year to watch the footy, but I refuse to pay ~$70 when I don't want all of the crap that comes with it.
If you don't have foxtel, you dont own a TV.
I bet that EFC get a better deal?
The Ch.7 EFC boot lickers will be all over them for 2014, Hird for commentary anyone???
Don't watch much TV mate. Why would I pay for something I'll barely use?
All the more reason for those that either can't afford pay TV (or don't wish on principle to line the pockets of moguls already too rich for their own good ... and I am an avowed capitalist BTW) to negotiate replays on digital channels.
Reckon the AFL are smart emough to think that option through? Not with that socialist supremo who reckons (in his own words) that the common man in this country is too greedy.
We get what we deserve.
There was a good southpark ep recently about cable tv
was pretty funny

Seriously ?.....well, the AFL are not even attempting to hide the fact that they're hell bent on making it exclusively a night competition then. What a load of bollocks. I do not like & will never like night footy......one more step along the road to me giving up watching completely.
