This was pretty screwed. I watched at the pub and we saw Fox Footy in HD prematch, then channel 7's blurry crap on the big screen for the game.
If they are going to have exclusive rights then they have to improve this.
Otherwise it was awesome

I couldn't give a s**t. What is it you're missing exactly?
Do you have any idea about how the AFL is funded? If so please tell us an alternate that has less adverts and does not take money out of the AFL's pockets when TV rights are being negotiated (this btw is what keeps a number of clubs afloat).

Me? I put the radio on SEN to avoid the ad breaks. Shame about the SD though.
As for the 'got for free' comment, when did 7 ever play all 9 games each weekend?
The feed from Fox on every FTA game is the channel 7 commentators, not the Fox morons, as you put it.So you're ecstatic about paying $800 a year for something you previously got for free; but having to watch ads instead of listening to fox footy morons talk about themselves between goals is just a bridge too far?

Maybe they should have a no ad version you pay $30 for.

Don't know, I don't watch many games on TV.
I just can't see how it's such a struggle to fill those 15 seconds of ads with some form of human interaction or at least a toilet break or anything.
Probably because I don't take a piss after every goal.
And it's a lot more than 15 seconds.

Game was on 7 HD.
It's a bloody outrage! I want things for free and without interruption!
I'm still pissed off I had to pay for grand final tickets the last 4 years. I remember the good old days when you used to be able to sit in the car and honk the horn when goals were scored. Now I have to pay $300 to sit with strangers and no air conditioning or match commentary where I sit!

Mute the ads and 30 second discussion on the game with others in the room.
Easy.
What made it annoying was the inane commentary.

Don't have an aerial. Only the Fox box and dish.
Yeah, I know I could get one. It's on the list.

So the replay on fox all week will be the non ad version with all the goal replays instead yeah??
Do not worry. I have friends.
But they are not always at my place every time a non FTA game is on Fox.
If you can afford Fox, the footy channel is a revelation.

No he pays $700+ a year for Foxtel and wants to watch the GF ad free like every other game.
