The match this weekend is only being replayed on Fox at 7:30 before being shown on Seven at midnight.
*****! I'm absolutely spewing! The AFL is run by a pack of monkeys.

Great, I can watch the Hawks murderous rampage twice! :)
Seriously, poor deal again for Hawthorn - then again, at least we have choice.
Yep, bad news for the 13 of you up there....

Coverage in London is crap but at least there is normally an Aussie pub that will show a replay at some stage. Almost no chance of live though except for the Granny.

In Thailand, it's on at ten Sunday night, so I have to keep away from the computer until then. However, that's not too difficult as I work til 5.30, and I'll record whatever game they have on at 11.30A.M. and watch that first.
Looking for a big reversal of form!

Welcome to the life of a Richmond fan in Sydney every week.
I'd say "can't wait for Round 17 vs Sydney which will be televised live for a change", but I'll be at the game anyway.
So far we've had 1 Richmond game televised live in Sydney and that was against Sydney (ironically I was at that game too).
Not that it's been a glorious season of victories for us this year, but as a die-hard fan, I still want to watch every game (with the possible exception of the Geelong one). Having one game for the season televised free-to-air up to and including Round 15 is utter rubbish.
Thank the Internet for bittorrent.

This is the second week in a row the game hasnt been shown on either fox or free to air in Perth. Very disapointing for a West Aussie supporting a Vic team.
According to the Courier Mail today all Channel 7 and 10 televised games not shown on FTA or Fox Sports will now be aired on Fox Sports Plus free of charge - including this Sunday's game.
Finally some sanity has prevailed.

Makes the deal 5 hour delayed telecast on Australian Network over here in Thailand great.
And there is another channel in girlie bars repeating edited replays of all games throughout the following two weeks. Those gals love the 'sexy' Australian footballers.
It's what I've been told :)
Life's hard over here in the Kingdom.

Yes we have the Dockers Game LIVE on Fox as well as LIVE on TEN
and on Saturday the Eagles game is live on LIVE on Both TEN and Fox and the blockbuster Geelong v Collingwood game is on delayed.
You would think Fox would have scheduled better and show the other game LIVE and not double up on FTA telecasts!
