Fox's pre-game coverage seems to be degenerating into not much more than a promo for their weeknight AFL programs.

Watching Footy Classified on Monday night Garry Lyon made a quip that Fox Footy Coverage is best in AFL! Hardly surprising seeing as Nine hate 7 & 10 who have the broadcast rights that they once had. Also doesn't Packer PBL own around 25% of Foxtel? I know that was the case 3 years ago when the rights went back to 7. How about next time he accompanies any such pro-Fox comments with a proviso that his employer is a significant shareholder of Foxtel.

was posted on the herald sun in the comments for an article. the post about draftees is a classic and pretty true IMO
No Adrian, that was Brent Staker. Which he does state later in the same article.Matt Spangher's last memory of the Swans is copping a right hook from Barry Hall, but the draftee is now looking for Sydney success.
Spangher could hardly forget his 2008 AFL debut against the Swans - what he jokingly refers to as that "infamous" game.
It was the match at ANZ Stadium in which Barry Hall flattened Eagles defender Brent Staker with a punch replayed countless times on television.
I dont think Tony Sheahan takes to kindly to criticism (see comments)

Great pick-up!Herald Sun today in their TV lift out section Switched On page 5, under the locker room section Daniel Hoy says "Given the quality of some of the sides in this year's World Cup, expect to see someone make the first one-day international double century. My money is on Chris Gayle...".
Chris Judd might have quit the club but the retreating skipper's insistence that the Eagles receive a decent trade for him was reinforced by Luke Shuey's NAB Rising Star form, Josh Kennedy's emergence and the impressive Chris Masten.
noticed in todays herald-sun the headline "split bench mooted" written by mark stevens and jackie epstein.
the article starts by saying "A switch to 3 interchange players and a single substitute has emerged as an option as debate rages about capping rotations"
ok, fair enough statement.
but then further on in the article "AFL football operations manage adrian anderson did not rule out the 3 interchange/1 substitute option when the herald-sun put it to him, but stopped short of saying it was in the mix ahead of nexts months laws of the game committee meeting"
stevens/epstein "hey adrian, what about 3 interchange/1 sub as an idea?"
anderson "yeah sure mate great idea.......d###head"
stevens/epstein "omg my idea is in the mix, theres an article in that lol"
It's true that league is in a rosier position, ratings-wise, than AFL, being marginally ahead on national television ratings and holding an edge on pay television, too.
An astonishing 77 of the top 100 programs on Foxtel are NRL matches
The network's kingpin, Lachlan Murdoch, is a league nut. Ten is in dire need of advertising revenue and ratings. It has suffered badly this year through its failed foray into news and current affairs. League may well be the answer.
The AFL has once again set the benchmark, even though its product, on paper, is worth less than the NRL's.
i wouldn't worry too much about what league scribes write. how often do you see an aussie rules journo poke his nose into league business?? pretty rare... it's generally a sign of who is more comfortable with their own sports varying positions...
i don't even know why they go on the attack so often. league is a fine position. lets say it was awarded 900mil for 5 years at the next negotiations. if they aren't capable of looking after the game with that sort of money then they are in serious trouble.
Facts are Rebecca Wilson holds a unique position in reporting all sport in Australia, she knows what is being said on the inside at News (not just the Aus but also the Herald Sun), at Fox, & at 9.
To suggest she is a league scribe seriously questions your claims.

RODNEY Eade should coach the Western Bulldogs next year because he is an outstanding leader of men who has a proven track record.
He has brought sexy back at Whitten Oval, keeping a low-profile club in the media day after day.
Western Bullldogs assistant coach Leon Cameron is an outstanding leader of men with a proven track record.
Extremely lazy journalism.He has been a key factor in the development of youngsters like Luke Shiels, Shane Savage, and Luke Bruest.
