It's all about the money $$$.
It wouldn't bother me if the ads were half-decent though.

Never. Mightn't be specially made for the GF but companies pay big money to have their ads shown during the game.
grand final will NEVER be broadcasted by fox.
They used to say that in the UK about Premier League Soccer. It'll happen eventually.
EPL is different to a cup final, the FA Cup is shown on free to air in England.
Your comparison is flawed

The FA Cup is their cup (grand) final. Clearly you know nothing about english football so don't even share your opinions on it.

Wouldn't the UEFA Champions League Final get more viewers in England than the FA Cup Final (I'm speculating, I could be wrong)?
Down down, prices are down!
Is there any reason you're comparing our broadcasting to the UK's?
Their rules have been far more lax in terms of broadcasting sport, and I suspect their's are going to become more stringent.
Because eventually money wins out and as Foxtel gets stronger, you can bet News Corp will pour on the pressure more than they're doing now and no amount of belief that "we're Aussies, it'll never happen here.
And for the pompous Port Power arse upthread, I understand that they're two different competitions. I was comparing EPL which is more the equivalent of AFL in relation to how they sit within their respective societies.
Eventually, Foxtel will outbid the others to such an extent that the AFL can't resist and you can't tell me that News Corp will show all the games except the Grand Final. Yeah, because a Federal Government is really going to stand up to both News Corp and the AFL.
Depends on which teams are competing in the UCL final, if there are no english teams, FA Cup usually rates higher.
How many more assumptions do you want to make?
It's English Soccer mate. We will only get a AFL Grand Final without ads if it goes PPV.
It's called English Football, just like its Australian Football and American Football. Yet all are different sports

Australian TV and particularly radio advertising is truly cringe worthy. In no other developed country would you see or hear on national broadcasters owners of businesses spruiking their product dressed as chickens or have to listen to such painfully low brow jingles being repeated over and over again in hammed up comic voices. I really find it hard to listen to commercial channels for this reason.
Australian advertising = utterly utterly utterly sh!t.
No it wouldn't. England has a list of protected sporting events that can not be shown solely live on pay tv.
Fifa World Cup finals are on this list. FA cup finals. And quite a few more.
If pay tv can't win out on the world cup, they wouldn't get a grand final..
Australia would do the same. If they haven't already.
Helllloooooooooooooooooooooooo, Frank Walker from National Tiles....

I'm not 100% sure if this is true, but from memory that "go daddy" ad that kept appearing actually debuted at the superbowl earlier this year. 
Any government that even considered dropping the anti-siphoning agreement would be out on their ass pretty quick.
