    TV Rights

    Just saw on Ch 10 news that Channels 7 and 10 are looking at a joint bid for the rights for 2007-2011. I'm all for it up here, simply because of Channel 9's dedication to league means that we get shafted on Fri night coverage.

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

    Absolutely. Sensational news.

    We get rid of Eddie as an added bonus.

      Hope it happens. Keep Ch 10, get rid of Ch 9.
      And whoever gets it, can we please get Friday nights live - even if FTA won't show it live, can we at least get it on Fox.

        I imagine they will read your request here and comply.

          As long as Denis Commetti get a gig and games get shown in sydney as much if not more than they do currently it doesn't matter who has the rights.

                Bruce will be back - you can bet on it.

                Commetti will get a gig - he is by far the best

                The AFL has made it quite clear the requirement for more live (or near live) footy in the northern states will be much stronger this time round

                Couldn't agree more about Eddie - he is by far the worst

                  Good,

                  i hope Channel seven gets the rights again,

                  because channel 9's coverage sux and Gary Lyon is a rubbish commentator as well as his mate Eddie.
                  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!

                    Funny how 7 are taking the rest to court for collusion or some trivial reason and now they are doing the same thing by linking with 10.

                    Perhaps they are being more out in the open, but it's just sour grapes.

                    Having said that, I hope the broadcaster with the most Melb televising of games wins (personal opinion obviously)

                    It would be nice to rid the broadcasting world of Eddie & Dennis.

                    SOS should never go near a mic. again either....

                          I assume Rex will be in the box? Hopefully he'll sneak a fork in and drop his strides - that's how he does his best work.

                              Got a long way to go this one.

                              7 and 10 have still got to fit .... PrimeMedia(???)/Foxtel in the picture, resurrecting C7 won't happen, onselling games is not a possiblity.

                              10 can still jump out of bed with 7 if 9 drops demands for all of the finals

                              9 could run with the ABC or SBS to fix their Fri. night problem in Syd & Bris, 7 and 10 have still got to come up with the $$$ to outbid 9.

                              ..........
                              Eddie could lose some weight
