Strange spread. 9 of the first 13 games on channel 7 (hopefully they lift their game this year). From then on (rounds 14 -22) 6 of 9 games on FOX

 

[nighthawk]

is this the broadcasting guide for victoria, or just who has the rights to the games?

do u know where i could find the games being shown in sydney?

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Good result. Many free to air games is a great result.

 

[retroparty]

the AFL do some wierd things. We play Sydney on Sunday arvo in Sydney and get on FTA but then play Richmond at the G on a Saturday arvo and get on Fox.

 

[Smyth94]

Do channel 7 get saturday night games? I always thought saturday night was always Ch 10

 

[adamcf]

Don't forget guys, Channel 7 is a sponsor of Essendon. Part of the move to the Dome.

Highly doubt it.

The home and away season broadcasting schedule will be the same for another 4 years.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

However, 10 will apparently show the Port vs Geel game in round 1 on Friday night......so maybe the AFL have changed things?

Ten will broadcast the Saturday night games as usual.

No, nothing has changed. The AFL made the decision not to schedule any footy on Good Friday, so Seven will telecast the Port vs Geelong game on the Thursday night.

 

[Philzsay]

Since i pretty much go to all the games in Melbourne its only the interstate games that count for me...

one for Seven
one for ten
two for fox

which means...

I have to listen to Robert Walls once....far too many times for me

 

[mathew ollaik]

2 games live and active on fox!

 

[AJ_2000]

Personally I prefer to have as many games on fox as possible so they are live and no ads, unlike the 7/10 crappy delay telecasts and streched out ad breaks.

 

[Bombers42]

hmm i dun have pay tv bummer

Round 18 - Saturday, 2nd August (2:10pm)v Melbourne MCG FOX

Round 19 - Sunday, 10th August (2:40pm)v West Coast Subiaco FOX

Round 20 - Saturday, 16th August (2:10pm)v Adelaide Telstra Dome FOX

Round 21 - Friday, 22nd August (7:40pm)v West Bulldogs Telstra Dome SEVEN

Round 22 - Sunday, 31st August (4:40pm)v St Kilda Telstra Dome FOX

Round 21 is now on Fox due to the olympics which means people without FTA have no footy for 5 whole weeks.

 

[daffo]

Thats very average, thankfully i'm going to 4/5 of those games.

 

[OzBomber]

I'm only going to 1/5

 

[bOmBeR_BoY1]

Might have to get the old wireless out some of you.

 

[OzBomber]

Until the Melbourne game, we only had 3 games on foxtel. That had to be the time that I had fox sports didn't it? Mum got rid of it straight after the Melbourne game.

 

[Rack Watts]

Yeah, I went out and subscribed to Austar just so I could see the last 4 games hehe!

 

[AndyLesPaul]

Theres no point watching FTA essendon games this year anyway.

The only live game was the Anzac Day Match

every other game has been delayed
poor effort.
