Thanks for that Danni, and GREAT news about Keating!!!!!!!!

YAY. Things are looking good, can't wait till next week's game, HOPING we get some TV coverage of it, I don't really care if it's live or not.

Hate to disappoint Lioness - but NO coverage - no tv live - no tv replay - no tv highlights - no radio coverage either - and the same for the week after too.

Ch7 claim it is too expensive to place cameras in a 'remote' stadium.

Ring Ch7 and bloody complain - about 7000 qlders already have!

 

[lioness]

OK so what's the point of even playing the damn game???? SHEESH

thanks for the link danni, they certainly are quick! i missed the first quarter

, ah well got to see most of it, and the boys....well, they looked absolutely fantastic, fit and really to kick some arse this year!

 

[SpecialBruce]

Why complain. If I was head of Channel 7 I would show little Ansett Cup matches as possible. But that's just me so don't come abusing me.

------------------
Go Hoppers!!

 

[SpecialBruce]

It's good that they are ready to kick some arse.

i take it that you don't like the ansett cup competition

my view is that it's footy, and after so long without it, any footy is good footy. why don't you like the comp?

 

[Danni]

Credit where credit is due - I live within a 3 min drive from the ground - had been home for 10 mins when Mr Ripper gave me that link - I just posted it here - so all thanks to Mr Ripper.

SpecialBruce - your negative attitude it beginning to, no actually make that simply 'is', shitting me off. The whole world is now fully aware that you don't like the Ansett Cup - so what???

Give the rest of us a break, we are happy it is upon us.....regardless of how much (if any) importance we place on the competition, it is a fantastic opportunity for us to enjoy football again after a very long absence. If you so chose not to enjoy it - that is your business, and keep it that way. Stop being so childish and uncouth in your postings! You certainly aren't endearing yourself to anyone with comments like that which you have repeated a number of times.

If you don't like it - so be it - but let the rest of us enjoy it.

 

[lioness]

I agree with lisa and Danni on this one - footy is footy and I wanna see as much as I possibly can!!!!!!!!!!

The young guys impressed me, and so did Keatings mark

. Wasn't it a screamer.

 

[Beausgirl43]

Well the guys looked fantastic out there tonight.
The mark by Crackers was an absolute screamer.
Good to see him running around.
The new young guys like Clint Alleway, David Mapleston, Ash McGrath, Richie Hadley all had great games.
The others that stood out were Nigel, Possum, Desie, Beau, Aker, Shatts, Picko and Browny.
cheers...

In answer to your question Lisa the reason I don't like the Ansett Cup is because frankly it's a waste of time. We could extend the "Real" season to about 28 rounds without the Ansett Cup which would also be an added bonus not only for a fairer draw, but it would fix up people complaining about the "Television" coverage of Ansett Cup matches. Without the Ansett Cup no one has to get pissed off at TV stations for not showing some matches of the Ansett Cup when really it goes into programs times.
IMO, Channel 9 and 10 for the Ansett Cup next year will be the same as Channel 7. Hopefully Wayne Jackson will wake up to himself and extend the "real" season which will be a better boost for money and crowd sizes at the games.
Not many people go to the Ansett Cup compared to the "real" season and if the season is extended there will be bigger crowd sizes and better quality matches.

Danni - People complaining about lack of TV coverage especially you is starting to shit me off. No matter what you and other people do, things aern't going to change so live with that.

[lisa]

some really good points supporting your idea specialbruce, however in regards to the discussion of tv coverage, you have to admit that it does have some parallels with your discussion of scrapping of the ansett cup. we all have vices about different things i suppose.

 

[Danni]

And Chris you are wrong to say that ppl can't do anything about it - in fact the outcry has caused the AFL to look into trying to get at least one of the Lions games radio broadcast - it may not happen - but it certainly wouldn't have even been looked at unless ppl had complained about lack of coverage.
