Game plan confirm 1st week of finals

Replay isn't in HD. It is standard definition.

Thanks for telling me, wasn't sure.

 

[FootyJunkie]

That really is a disgrace, but at least that could possibly change. What's worse is that it's a certainty that the Sunday game will be used as a lead-in to the 6pm news despite just as (if not more) likely being a sell-out.

Game should be at 3:10pm to ensure it being LIVE.

Either way it is crap. I can watch full HD sport over the internet but channel 7 and 10 can't provide it on tv..... Pathetic and to top it off Foxtel charge you for it.

Was always going to happen when Murdoch bought OneHD. Why would they provide free HD sport when they can charge people for it?

F-ck i hate Channel 7! Friday night and Sunday better be live or I will spew! We need to get people calling up C7 yelling at them. Then maybe they will f-cking learn!

I think I read somewhere it'll start at 2:40. I doubt it will be moved back, channel 7 love sticking their 3 minute commercial breaks inbetween the goals on the Sunday game, no way they'd give that up.

 

[Buddy and Roughy]

yaayyyyy i can go!

 

[thekelvin]

Is there a more boring matchup in the league than St Kilda v Sydney?

Definitely not. The two most boring teams to watch, head to head.
Will not watch.

Channel 7 and Channel 10 used to show HD Footy. Except they got rid of the hd channels all together. One Hd's Boss decided against showing footy on its hd channel. Who knows why.
All Grand Finals should be in BluRay format.

Reckon the MCG could very well explode if the Carlton Vs Essendon final is decided in the final minute or two.

What crowds do we think might be a goer for Round 1 of the Finals????

Geelong Vs Hawthorn 80K

Collingwood Vs West Coast 75K

Sydney Vs St Kilda (in Sydney) 30K

St Kilda vs Sydney (@ Etihad) 48K

Carlton Vs Essendon FULL 95K+

Understating Hawthorn/Geelong, overstating Carlton/Essendon and St Kilda/Sydney games

For reference purposes, the 2 Hawthorn/Geelong (78.5k and 63.5k) drew 71k while Carlton/Essendon (78.5k and 74k) drew 76k

The largest Elimination Final crowd ever under the current configuration was 85k in 2006 (and only 44k at Ethiad - between 2 Victorian clubs)

 

[red+black]

There's no way in hell they won't broadcast Geelong vs Hawthorn live.

I doubt any of the Week 1 finals will be shown live, unless Sydney gets a home game.

And what's with this subject "Game plan confirm ..."? What's game plan?

 

[Kaity]

I'll be watching from London!
.... does anyone know where to watch in London??
I only just moved here last week

The fixture was confirmed on the TV show - The Game Plan

 

[The_Wookie]

it was confirmed on every thursday night footy show

 

[le dominateur]

Collingwood Vs West Coast 75K

Cannot see this game getting close to that figure, looks like a foregone conclusion, 60K tops.

 

[ShueytoGaff]

So is there going to be 2 games on ch 7 and 2 on 10? Or will it be like a couple of years ago where every game was on 10? And i assume 10 will have the gf, as 7 had it last year.

Friday and Sunday finals on 7
Saturday finals on 10.
2012-2016, all finals on 7.

God help us all

 

[Alexwce]

And we're stuck with Channel 7 for at least the next 5 years. God help us

Do Collingwood not have 60K Melbourne fans alone? 75k is a reasonable figure

 

[i football]

Yeah, all that crappy contested football and defensive pressure. Real snooze to a GC fan, I can imagine.

Looks like I'm not alone tough guy?

 

[i football]

ummm do you know anything about football?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

18 man defensive flood vs 15 man defensive flood.

Yikes.

In all seriousness. Sydney don't really flood much anymore.

There is always Foxtel who will show all the H&A games live next year though.... If you can afford it.
