Does anybody else think that we will get really crappy free to air coverage of the AFL in 2001.
Is the Ansett Cup just a forerunner to what will happen during the Home and Away.
An example: This week Channel 7 are only televising 2 games of the first round of the Ansett Cup. StKilda v Collingwood and Port Adelaide v Essendon, aren't there 12 other clubs that would like at least some coverage of their side in action - thank god for K-Rock.
StKilda v Collingwood is the match that surprises me the most. At the same time you have West Coast v North in PERTH and Geelong v Sydney in DARWIN, Anyone who wants to go to StKilda v Collingwood can, can supporters of the others teams do that? It would be a stretch.
Tomorrow, I can understand, as Essendon supporters can't ALL get to Adelaide.
Can you believe it, First round of the Ansett Cup, No footy for more than 6 months and only 1/4 of the sides actually playing get coverage.
Yes I realise they have golf commitments this weekend, but surely a delayed telecast of tonights matches or a replay of highlights at 11pm on Sunday wouldn't be that hard to put together.
Every other match is being ignored. Is this a per-curser to 2001. Lets hope not.
