    I would of been happy with the result either way, just as long as there is still a 24 hr dedicated AFL channel on my Foxtel from 2007 onwards.

      Great - so commentators like Sandy Roberts, Doug Hawkins, Tim Watson are back...

          It's like trading an Edsel for a P76.

            On current footy commentating, I'd rather have the Edsel The only way it could get worse is if they get Andrew O'Keefe involved

                  AFL Reveals asset buying plan

                  In other major developments from the TV rights deal:

                  The AFL chief confirmed that, having matched Nine's bid, Seven and Ten were now contractually committed to eight games on free-to-air television and live broadcasts into Brisbane and Sydney on Friday and Saturday nights, although the deal allowed them to negotiate a pay-TV carrier, such as current broadcaster Foxtel, subject to AFL approval.

                    It all sounds to good to be true. What do they always say...if it sounds to good to be true it probably is...:tongue in cheek:

                      Amen to that!

                      I'd love Seven to pick up Commetti, Brayshaw, Schwass and Healy. Dermott can stay where he is. Wouldn't mind seeing them get Lyon, but it's doubtful that would happen.

                        Brereton is entertaining, particularly with Commetti.

                        Lyon won't leave Nine.

                          Well done Craig Bolton for getting the co- captaincy in 2008.

                          Your determination,your tenacity and your under-rated skill is why you have become my favourite player!

                            That wanker is such a......wanker It's beyond us how he got a job on TV too, that laugh , the superiority complex ...mind you that pretty much sums up channel 7 in Melbourne. ..and they are worse now "Footy is coming home", what a crock of @@@@. I much preferred the days when every station had a replay on at sometime on Saturday night. It wasn't bad, you still got a 4 out of 6 chance of seeing your team on TV. But having said that I don't want to go back to the days of the VFL.

                            Interesting to note that most non-Victorian Swans supporters are happy that 7/10 has the rights, but the majority of Victorian Swans supporters seem to be unhappy about it. I feel that we(The Victorian basedSwans supporters) have always been treated with contempt by 7, whereas we have had a better go from 9. I know that includes fixturing etc. But then that is how 7 Melbourne treats most of its viewers of shows such as "The Amazing Race", "Stargate SG-1" (I can hear Charlie getting worked up already), "Stargate Atlantis", and numerous other shows that they move around the timeslots at their whim regardless of viewer numbers. I just don't trust 7 in Melbourne, but I trust 9 Melbourne a lot more.

                            Well that's my opinion anyway...I will now take my defensive stance as I await the attacks/disagreement from everyone else on here

                              I've found the coverage by 9 and 10 to be good - far superior than the old 7 coverage.

                              What was the problem with 9 for Sydney fans?

                                Its commitment first to NRL. There is no way Ch 9 in Sydney would show Fri night AFL until after the NRL had finished ie after 11pm at night.
