Do sides still come out at 5pm?

Nope, 6.20 on Channel Seven is the first place the teams will be announced.

Back to the 1930's we go.

Lighten up. If you'd paid upwards of $500 million to broadcast 4 games a week for 5 years I think your well within your rights to demand to be the first outlet to publish the teams.

Mate, when I complained about not being able to get the teams at 5pm on the AFL board, I copped heaps of criticism from Horsewithnoname and lots of other posters. I was told this was a sign of great times where footy would be broadcast live, and what was my problem that I could not wait till 6.25pm. I hate not being able to see the team at 5pm! Why should Channel 7 have a monopoly on team selection time?

I see Scodog is doing the same thing here. I cannot emphasise how much I disagree with the argument against Channel 7 having this right. Why should we defend big companies already making lots of money from telecast rights? As long as I have been alive the teams have been available at 5pm and I fail to see why that should not have continued. Channel 7 are not televising footy as a community service but to make money and lots of it.

3 Pies to Debut

Educated guess

Yagmoor, Major Paine and Elliot

What would you rather, having the teams come out an hour later but live friday night footy or having the teams at 5 with the friday night game delayed by one hour?

If that's the trade off, I can live with it.

Do you seripously think that holding back the teams an hour and a half was the trade off for live broadcasts? Get real!

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Paine, Yagmoor and Seedsman are in!

And Hodge out too.

 

[danielnajdek]

Luke Hodge not playing

 

[Professor Knowall]

My guess would be Yagmoor,Seedsman and Paine.

The winner.

Hodge out for the Hawks.

The point is, we now get live friday night footy and given the money that 7 pay for that, I think they're within their rights to announce the teams during their news.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I had 7 news on and someone phoned me just as the teams were coming on. I expected that the teams would be shown rarther than simply spoken about and missed all the team news. If that is 7's idea of broadcasting the teams, they can stick it well and truly up their fat corporate arse!

 

[JOELY]

Seedsman eh? Reminds me of a certain poster who was constantly knocking him, stating he was "NO CHANCE" to play this year and a candidate for delisting. Round 1 and the Seed is in. The fools who watch the VFL and saw a bit to work with aren't so daft after all.

 

[mattys123]

About what we expected, was always out of Seedsman, Young and Sinclair for the last 2 places, and Young is the unlucky one.

Interesting that Beams and Wood are emergencies, who comes in if there's a late withdrawal?

And what about footy fans who have had the right for decades to the teams at 5pm? Don't we matter? I certainly will not watch 7 next week for the teams having just seen the express job they do without any visual assistance i.e. names on the screen.

Do 7 pay without receiving back far more than they pay for the rights? They are not a charity.

What is it you miss out on when the sides are named 1 hour and 20 minutes later than what they previously were? Bearing in mind that they're still released at least 25 hrs before the first game of the round.

The only possible issue I have is integrity based in that the teams are probably picked the same time as previous years, however there's now a slightly bigger window if a big name is to miss, which could possibly causing a betting plunge. Even the possibility of that is minute with how heavily scrutinized the game is these days....

 

[Taco]

Sinclair... yuckies

 

[Wooljay]

Sinkers got picked for his unrelenting chase and pressure in the forward line I imagine, but Young would probably feel a little unlucky.
