Not yet, $even have 14 days to match the Nine/Ten bid.

That is for the free to air only Flipper. The pay tv has been awarded to Foxtel.

Actually my guess would be that they don't wait that long to advise the AFL if they are gonna match/better the offer.

After the numerous 'leaked' reports of the $$$ amounts that were being thrown around, ch 7 would have a fair idea a while ago of what they were going to have to do to match the offer. Along with the 'broadcasting' side of things , ie how many games in each city/state that are live etc etc etc.

Personally I cannot see 7 offering anymore live or even better-times-for-replay games in QLD and NSW.

They seriously do not believe their is the market/ratings for it.

If 9 are willing to give us more up here - then I am all for it!!

it's gonna be sooooo good with Ch9. Forget Bruce, Sandie and Confetti. We'll have Ritchie, Tony and Bill Lawry

And goal post cameras and microphones

And forget Dermy. There will be Tony Geigs pitch inspection with the keys and all that

Oh, and the 4th umpire in the stands with the red and green flashing light

And a speed camera for how fast the ball is kicked

good old channel 9
