just sent one in about the delay between goals at games that frustrates the hell out of people actually at the games.
heck i go to the sunday games to get away from the crappy 7 coverage and still have to put up with them delaying the game by and extra 45 seconds between goals.
since they will flat out refuse to show a live sunday game you think they could shorten those breaks. Isn't that what editors are for.

Re: Channel 7 Coverage = Poor

That is why we all have to get onto soapbox, send in an email each and if we get say 1000 people all saying the same thing, they may change their minds.

Better off to show off numbers than to take it with your hands clasped to your ankles.

Done. Unfortunately, not expecting anything to eventuate for our interstate viewers, but happy to assist.

I highly doubt it, because they will not be able to say it is at full capacity for the 5000 standing room I think right up to the time of game, too late for C7 to change their minds.

Plus they'd lose tonnes of advertising revenue from having the game late, with a massive amount of ads between goals.

It sucks for us interstater's who are interested, why it is only live into Adelaide confounds me.

Geelong Advertiser is sooo reliable.
According to 7's online TV guide ch. 7 is showing it @ 8pm - making it delayed?

Cats-Pies clash live on TV after sellout
11:12 AM Wed 19 September, 2007

Exclusive to AFL BigPond Network


THE AFL has announced that this Friday's preliminary final between Geelong and Collingwood will be televised live into Melbourne after all public tickets and AFL Members' Reserve tickets were sold out.
The remaining tickets for sale - approximately 15,000 - sold out on Wednesday morning in a little more than 90 minutes.

AFL Chief Broadcasting and Commercial Officer Gillon McLachlan said the Seven Network had made the decision to now take the match live.
Its broadcast into Melbourne will begin at 7.30pm, with the first bounce at 7.50pm.
The two clubs drew more than 85,000 fans for their home and away clash earlier this year.

your a picky lot

7Sport AFL page has link to article
http://au.sports.yahoo.com/070919/2/1el63.html

Friday night's AFL preliminary final between Geelong and Collingwood at the MCG has sold out, with the match to now be televised live into Melbourne.
All remaining public tickets and AFL members' reserve tickets sold on Wednesday, the AFL said.
It means the crowd is expected to be close to the MCG's capacity of about 100,000 and could rival the attendance for the grand final the following weekend.
Last year's grand final between West Coast and Sydney drew a crowd of 97,431.

foxsports also reporting it will be broadcast live .... http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,22444743-23211,00.html (same article)

Yes as of about an hour or two ago, still awaiting whether the rest of the country can join into that also. That was the point of the
whole thread, why delay it in Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Brisbane ?? Makes no sense. Melbourne fair enough, to gain more supporters
through the gate, but for the rest of Australia just makes my mind boggle.

Re: Channel 7 Coverage = Poor

for anyone with foxtel, the match is broadcast live on main event channel (518) free of charge

Sweet cant wait for the game great to hear it will be live for us Queenslanders

Re: Channel 7 Coverage = Poor

All, we should boycott channel 7 post the AFL finals series. Why delay the game in cities other than Melbourne ??

Makes no sense whatsoever. Why pay part of $780 million then delay it? They aren't going to win the ratings as I think a rugby league game is on, so therefore wouldn't win in the Northern states anyway.

Better Homes and Gardens hey, nice move channel 7, a sure ratings winner.

Better Homes & Gardens is a sure-fire ratings winner. That's why they keep it.

Re: Channel 7 Coverage = Poor

all thanx to foxtel - even without fox footy, their total coverage (over the course of the week) really puts the commercial networks to shame..!

 

[Duskfire]

The Dilemma

So here is my dillema, if the tv coverage of the game continues...

I can either

a) Not listen to the radio or come on the internet at all and watch the hour late coverage as if it was live

or

b) listen to the radio, and check out live updates on the afl site, etc etc.


So what should I do?
