Seven are very protective over their nightly news dominance. They know they can only wheel Rick and old Susanna out for so long.

Personally though I don't see many people changing their preferred nightly news just because they see a logo on a footy jumper on TV. Seven being corporate dickwits IMO and actually bringing negativity to their brand that if they'd said nothing, no one would've cared less about.

its true but it isn't the point. They have exclusive rights. nine are protective of their grip on cricket as well. no-one is saying anything about that.
 
they were warned by the wafl that 7 was getting the rights and that it would cause problems.
There is a legal argument to be had about whether the club should lose the sponsorship money because the league wants to sell its broadcast rights.

Has the WAFL offered to compensate the club for it?

the whole wafl competition was benefited by getting the competition televised because the abc didn't want to do it any more. channel 9 had the chance to take the rights but didn't win the bid. So the wishes of one club is irrelevant. channel 7 and channel 9 are petty competitors but that is the commercial reality. Channel 9 would not give channel 7 an inch either.

I was under the impression that the nine sponsorship was already on paper, and signed off on by the WAFL, prior to the seven deal being signed by the WAFL.

West Perth shouldn't be disadvantaged for acting in good faith.

but were told that they would not be televised. They said that was fine, and they would sign with nine anyway. now they are in the finals and the rest of us can't watch peel.

I have made the effort, but thanks. But as i'm not interested in travelling 100km to watch a wafl match, it would be nice to have it on tv.

There's barely going to be a Freo player running out there for Peel anyway.

Soft apuchar! I used to drive 400 km each way from Marvel Loch every weekend to watch the mighty Swans back in the day.

That quick trip to Mandurah is a breeze ;)
