Yeah, all that crappy contested football and defensive pressure. Real snooze to a GC fan, I can imagine.

Stoked it fell on the Sunday, stuff the TV audience, when you're at the footy nothing beats a day game.

Is there a more boring matchup in the league than St Kilda v Sydney?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

So sick of st Kilda getting the night time slots.

Nope, but the way they've scheduled it is the way that makes the most sense.

 

[Shane_Mag]

The Friday and Sunday games should be good. The others not so much as the result will be pretty obvious imo.

 

[Hellgood]

Dissappointing that Essendon and Carlton are on a Sunday afternoon, but I suppose you can't have Collingwood-West Coast on then because of the disadvantage for West Coast (presumably) with a short break before the semis.

As long as St Kilda-Sydney is not at ANZ I'll be happy. I bet it will be a good game, finals usually are.

It won't be happening next year, the AFL and the networks have woken up to what a turn-off they are.

Meanwhile Channel 7's schedule has the Friday night game delayed across Australia.

There's no way in hell they won't broadcast Geelong vs Hawthorn live.

Umm, Collingwood-West Coast isn't predictable, but Swans-Saints is?

Absolute crap if it's true.

Reckon the MCG could very well explode if the Carlton Vs Essendon final is decided in the final minute or two.

What crowds do we think might be a goer for Round 1 of the Finals????

Geelong Vs Hawthorn 80K

Collingwood Vs West Coast 75K

Sydney Vs St Kilda (in Sydney) 30K

St Kilda vs Sydney (@ Etihad) 48K

Carlton Vs Essendon FULL 95K+

 

[Bomber32]

Doesn't look like any HD coverage of any of the finals on either 7 or 10.

Shit news!

Yeah, knew that.

But you can get a BluRay Version of the 2010 AFL Grand Final Draw / Replay on the same disc. (Not sure if the Replay is BluRay or not).

I had a bet on which quarter the first tackle would be laid in.... second was a bit optimistic wasn't it.

Except night games.

Replay isn't in HD. It is standard definition.

That really is a disgrace, but at least that could possibly change. What's worse is that it's a certainty that the Sunday game will be used as a lead-in to the 6pm news despite just as (if not more) likely being a sell-out.

Though personally it doesn't affect me as I intend to go to both the Friday and Sunday games.
