Channel 7 not showing Essendon game live in Melbourne!

[Triple B]

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

Are u kidding, unless of course you really do live in this place called Syndey??

I watch Friday night game LIVE on Fox Extra.

Choice of Fox game LIVE or FTA LIVE on Saturday arvo.

Choice of Sat night game, 1 LIVE on Fox 1, the other LIVE on Fox Extra.

Sundays are the best. Back to back games LIVE on Fox and intermittently switch to FTA for the other game LIVE or wait until the twilight game is finished and watch the FTA on delay without those rotten ads after every goal.

Yep, we are sooooooo hard done by in Sydney.

[Plugger46]

Stop whining.

Why? I can't watch my team on Fox or FTA live, playing 900KM away - definitely grounds for a good whinge.

Stop whining....

No. Part of the reason I pay for Fox is get to LIVE games and don't miss anything. Now the commercial stations are shafting us with interstate games. A-holes the lot of 'em. If 7 don't wanna broadcast live they should give the game to Fox. @@@@@@s.

[bloodboy]

Yeah - it is a disgrace...we are allowed to whine. I would be filthy if I was an Essendon supporter...firstly because I was an Essendon supporter. Secondly cos my team is crap and going nowhere and thirdly because what does the AFL or Channel 7 or whoever expect them to do? Travel to Sydney to catch the game...? That is crap.

[CureTheSane]

Hell, I'm not gonna whine.

I get to see it!

Delayed, whatever.
Put it on at 2am for all I care, so long as I get to see the game.

And where were the comments about not being a real fan to swantastic

Disappointing to say the least....

He'll have enough to worry about when Mrs Swantastic finds out he put a at the end of the sentence when he told us he was having a footy free weekend away with the missus.

He don't need us to add to the pain.

[reigning premier]

I think you should all refuse to watch the game in protest.

That'll teach 'em.

[JF_Bay22_SCG]

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

Not even at the Riser via satelite or Foxtel or something?

It won't worry me. I'll be in Bay 119.

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!!

That's not a nice attitude. I'm telling Scott.

Not only is it on free to air, so I get to see it, but we will be in Adelaide for my eldest daughters 18th birthday where it is being shown live.

Seriously though, 3 pm is the designated time in the broadcasting agreement, so you only have channel 7 to blame (and the AFL).

Don't worry, I have nasty intentions for channel 7, in the following weeks because of it.

Thought about the Riser this afternoon. Hopefully they have some sort of agreement in place.

[ROK Lobster]

Come to Canberra!

Watch all the action as Sydney take on Essendon from Telstra Stadium.

As your grandfather used to say P46, "when the revolution comes I am going to burn down Channel 7 and the Herald Sun". I think he said that after that now deceased very ordinary sports reporter Kevin Hogan from the The Sun, dobbed in Ken Boyd after he belted the living daylights out of John Nicholls (bring out the pentridge doctor was the cry) for kicking him in the family jewels.

Channel 7 management have always walked backwards and naked in a stooped position when it has come to negotiations with the VFL/AFL.

It will always be 3pm, even if C9 had it. It's all about delivering viewers to their 6pm news.

Same as why it is always live in Sydney, because they wouldn't want it delivering viewers to news in a million years!

Only possible change is if 10 got rights to Sunday matches, but I don't see that happening. AFL might as well introduce a 3pm game IMO.
