G'day Dees,
I posted this elsewhere. I think it would be a shame if the potential of the broadcast isn't capitalised on on Friday night.
I've checked the TV guide for my local area, the Riverina in NSW, and the match isn't scheduled here yet. The guide does have an 11:15 slot marked 'to be announced' which I realise is often code for 'we're deciding whether we'll broadcast the AFL'.
I've fired an email off to Prime. It's pasted below. If anyone can help me out by copying and pasting it to an email and sending it yourself that would be awesome. You might have to edit here and there if something isn't right for you, but any help from you folks would be great
The email address is:
primetv@primetv.com.au
Incidentally, Kade Klemke is from here. I'm hoping he gets a guernsey on friday night.
Cheers all!

Hi,
I live in the Riverina and am a keen AFL fan. I was alarmed to learn this afternoon that the NAB Cup round 1 match between Essendon and the Western Bulldogs is not scheduled to be televised. I would like to add my voice to the chorus of complaint against this decision.
The broadcast of this match is a terrific opportunity for Prime to show its support for victims of the recent bushfire disaster in Victoria, by taking the opportunity the broadcast gives to appeal to a wider audience for help, lest apathy about helping during this time should begin to prevail. This appeal should include viewers outside of Victoria.
Further, Prime does not have Win's NRL coverage to compete with in the same time slot yet, making the broadcast of this match a good opportunity for the network to broaden the scope of such an appeal (not to mention the opportunity to establish a viewing routine among the audience before the commencement of the NRL season!).
Please reconsider any decision not to broadcast, if only for the victims of the fire.
Thanks,
