just watched 10 news and tim gossage said "a win for wa footy fans with 10 deciding to change its coverage times this saturday to more reasonable times"

west coast v brisbane: now at 4:30pm (previously 2:30pm)

st. kilda v sydney: now at 8:00pm (previosly 5:30pm)

how is this a win? how is this more reasonable?

they were previously on 50min and 30min delay and are now both 3hour delays.

what a load of crap!

does anyone have any thoughts?

I agree thats the biggest crock of ****, how is that time better? Im assuming theyll show half the game, the news then the second half, and I personally hate that crap, particularly for those who cant get to the game, having to wait half an hour between halves, extra-delayed, and the greater chance of having the result given to you from outside sources. It's a ****in joke thats what it is.

Yeah it ****s me to tears....you cant channel flick during the news or you will find out the result. You have to hole yourself up in your room to not find out the result! ****!! I have work at 5pm on Saturday night...so ill miss the game. Just remembered that then.

i do sympathise with you all in regard to the tv times for this weeks game against Brisbane. However, I for one am really pleased as the game will be televised in Townsville live!!!
The fact WCE is playing Brisbane has ensured the game will be shown here, as so far we have seen nothing of WCE or half the other teams in the competition.
So I have made arrangements not to be telephoned or visited during 3.30-5.30pm local time on Saturday, and the fridge is full.

Now THAT is great news! Mate, If I was you - I'd tape this weeks game and play it back every week to get you regular 'Eagles fix', because I doubt you'll get any other live games with the Eagles playing this year (unless we make the grand final)
