Channel 7 not showing Essendon game live in Melbourne!

[Mel_C]

Not happy with Channel 7. They are showing Sunday's game delayed in Melbourne even though it is an interstate game .

Why couldn't we be the early game so that Foxtel can broadcast it.

Hopefully the Essendon supporters kick up a stink and Channel 7 change their mind.

Some of us prefer it that way.

[TheGrimReaper]

I don't, I prefer it to be the 1pm game.

This weekend i dont care as i will be spending a weekend with mrs swantastic and no kids and no footy .

[TheGrimReaper]

It's going to be the first time in a very long time, where I won't be able to watch the game live either in person, or on TV. This game should have been on a Saturday night.

Poor diddums.
I'll be watching it live AND taping the live telecast.
If you're really really really noice to me, I just might send you a copy - although Warrnnaammbbbbooooooool might be a little too far for the postie!!

Besides, you'll get to see Big City TV ads instead of ones for herbicides and sheep dip!!

I don't, I prefer it to be the 1pm game.

I prefer to watch it on FTA.

That is USELESS by channel 7. I can understand if the game is in the same state/city whatever, but not showing this game live is just plain BS. Are they showing some V8 supercars or an Elvis movie or something that they can't shift?

[Dunger]

I'd say it'd have to do with Foxtel broadcasting the Melbourne V Adelaide game at 1pm, the Swans game on 7 at 3pm and back to Fox for Freo V WB at 4:30

I understand that the AFL can mandate delays, so sometimes it's not the broadcasters fault for a delayed game.

Stop whining....

No coverage for me at all this weekend.

If having to go to the pub to watch it is the worst you'll have to put up with, then consider yourself lucky.

We won't get it live in a pub. In this day and age, it's an absolute disgrace.

Even worse. On FTA, on a two hour delay.

See above. Stop whining.

You should try living in Syndey. We hardly get any games because they're all obsessed with NRL.
