I don't understand why Ch 7 has it on delay. Ch 9 always used to play it live.
A minor plus is that we get to see the '96 prelim final beforehand.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Unless you don't read the media section of the paper or even the footy section for that matter you would have missed the reasoning. It's so ch 7 can go straight into the news from the footy coverage - hence why no team songs or even a post game wrap up.
ch 7 will pull any stops to try and beat ch 9 in their on going grubby war.Comment

I don't care that it's on FTA. I just can't stand it not being live when it's in Sydney - instead we have to have a midday movie, and the 2nd half of a game (yes it was a great one
) that was played 12 years ago, so the game can lead into their news. I'm all for games in Melbourne being delayed because people can go and it obviously improves attendences, but not the interstate games.
Have you ever watched a 7 game on a Sunday from 3PM? The ads will drive you insane. It's not like the 10 game on a Saturday, when there's only 1 or 2 ads after a goal. 7 have about 8 ads after a goal.
It's a disgrace. 7 do not give a stuff about the game - they just wanted the rights so 9 couldn't have them.Bloods

The ads alone stop me from watching any game on Sunday on 7. We know that they over paid for the rights and they need to make this revenue back, but hey it's not my fault stokes didn't call kerrys bluff and paid too much. But be prepared for 7 ads per goal or 3 mins of ads for every 5 mins of action. It's a sad state of affairs and no i aint paying for foxtel..i will never pay for TV.Comment

I queried them during the '96 olympics. Remember how they used to show the zillionth replay of something that happened many hours ago, instead of the footy. The guy I spoke to said exactly that. We don't care about the footy this is the olympics. I pointed out is was a replay of the olympics, not the olympics.
They haven't changed.Comment

Hardly necessary...
Too many negatives to make sense as written...Unless you don't read the media section of the paper or even the footy section for that matter you would have missed the reasoning.

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
