Channel 7

Just flick on Triple M mate, it's better than nothing.

Or Radio National 630

 

[Ed_Gein]

Yep. Just going to listen to this one on the radio today. Not going to give Channel 7 any sort of viewing. Will watch highlights later on Fox Sports.

Actually liking this Triple M coverage, Quatermain and Dunstall are a good combo. If only 7 worked to get it back to live action, then I'd mute it and have Triple M on. Like actually SEEING the game though, so I will definately watch 7...

They actually showed all of the first quarter.

 

[Leo Barry You Star]

They actually showed all of the first quarter.

We'll get last quarter highlights instead

 

[SM]

No they just cut out the half time break.

Actually wasn't too dissapointed in their coverage at the end, but still pissed at the hour delay, listening to the first quarter on the radio with a goalless quarter then having to watch it was pretty horrible.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Coverage was better than expected overreaction on my part.

 

[msharvey]

Definitely better than expected, the editing was done quite well.

But as per usual the camera work was shoddy at best. After all these years I don't know why they can't figure it out.

First half was much better than the usual highlights package they serve up. Maybe previous complaints have gotten through? I don't mind the hour delay so much (it's annoying, but sometimes it's necessary), but the way they used to cut down the first half was shocking. They ran overtime til 5:25 today, and they cut out most of the half-time break, with very little editing in the first half.

 

[vonn]

actually..
it was ment to go from 3-5:30

Yeah I'm guessing they've been recieving complaints. Usually they show only the goals in the first quarter ...... and for us today that could have been a little depressing.

Didn't run over time, was meant to go to 5:30.

JINX stat

Don't they usually play it until 5 in Sydney? Or am I imagining that?

 

[SM]

That's when it's live.

 

[BarneyBent]

That's when it's live.

I thought they did it on delay as well, hence the virtual highlights package in the 1st half. Today it went for 2.5 hours, which is only about 10 minutes less than a full game, breaks and all.

 

[grimlock]

You're both right. If the Sunday game was being shown on delay, it usually is shown from 3-5pm with an edited 1st half highlights package. However, today it was scheduled for 3-5.30pm and so we got the full gam.e

Exactly. The 3 - 5 matches are painful!

 

[Dangas]

They might as well give the footy rights to SBS, at least they are committed to live TV coverage
