I am disgusted!

[quotemokc]

So I just checked the broadcast guide onthe AFL website and guess what!

Essendon aren't being shown on TV in Perth!

Instead the Eagles are on free-to-air like I expected BUT the Eagles game is also on Foxtel!

The Reason I bought Foxtel was to watch our games that are not free-to-air!

The only way I will be happy is if my cousins end up in Melbourne and I can fly over for the weekend and attend the game.

Best website and seating locations for general public? If I can make it!

This has been happening since the new TV Rights deal.

Yup - in SA I have missed several games because of this.

The Bris-Ess game this year was not on Foxtel till 12:30am - some 6 hours after the game began.

The new TV deal is schite and Dimwit and pencil dck Anderon are just interested in money - not the normal supporter.

The previous deal with 9 ensured all games were live/shown on slight delay.

Rock up on the night, buy general admission tickets and sit wherever you like in the GA areas (top of the Southern, Olympic and Ponsford)

Shut up, at least your state has a team

 

[dons_fan185]

my advice would be to get out of WA while you can

i made a pro con list:

PRO
Essendon are awesome
Melbourne is awesome
No one cares about the Eagles in Melbourne
Essendon are on TV in Melbourne

CON
Melbourne isn't in a perpetual summer at the moment
There are more Collingwood supporters in Melbourne

I found out that my last con can be solved by carrying detol instant sanitizer at all times.

If you havn't joined the AFL yet, go put your name down right away.

 

[Philzsay]

I don't understand why they couldn't at least replay it at like midnight or something....

Try forever man, doesn't make it right however.

It is a classic case of "Footyteamism " that is discrimination towards a person or persons based on their support for a particular football side.

I'm sad to say it's rife in WA.

With enough support we may be able to launch a class action against the AFL.

Crap in Brisbane too. Don't get Friday night football until 11.30pm unless the Lions are playing. That's if it's on at all. Channel 10 are getting better but 7 is crap. Although we are getting Saturdays game live.

ATT QuoteMokc: If you want to see Essendon games live in Perth The Charles Hotel on Charles st is the W.A Bombers affiliate pub and offers live games and half priced meals to members. Once you reach the ripe old age of 18 you may also choose to indulge in friday afternoon entertainment at the Charles, 6 hours of strippers from midday to 6pm for a $5 entry fee, which includes a free pot!

If I only had $5 left to my name and i could get naked women and live Bombers games with it, forget food, thats where I would spend it.

This should tide you over until you make the move away from the biggest, most backward country town in Australia.

 

[daffo]

I should get down to WA.

They must be high quality broads for $5.....oh wait, they just said strippers didn't they.....no mention of them being female!

When worst comes to worst, the games are usually available to view live online.

I think Main Event on Fox shows the Essendon match to viewers in WA.
