I have noticed that it would seem Channel 7 avoids telecasting Carlton games. Last weekend they chose the Adelaide/Port Adelaide game over us (bet THAT was a ratings bonanza) and today they chose to telecast the Melbourne/Nth Melbourne game (a celebration of mediocrity). WTF??

I swear, I am sick of the media ignoring us.

As an experiment I'd like to count newspaper column inches for each football club over the course of a week....when I can find the time of course. I can imagine that the Tiges would come out on top, probably the bulldogs a close second. I reckon even Sydney get more column inches than us.

I don't know about the papers, they have given us a fair amount of representation. remember that recent double page just for Gibbo, plus i read an article by Judd this arvo from todays paper.
Not to mention all the finals speculation we got/are getting.
And then there will be repeated mention when it comes to the draft, and what will be happening with Fev.

And we're the Sat arvo match on 10 next week.

But, the fixture and the way 7 treats its viewers with contempt is disgraceful.

Once upon a time, every team had an even share of FTA coverage. Even with Fox, given that there are 2 FTA channels covering, and with the ability of the FTA channels to multicast in digital (HD or SD), every team should get even FTA coverage across the season.

There were no other games on, and they STILL didn't show it live.

What I mean is that if the geelong/hawks game was played today at 4.30pm, would it have gotten FTA coverage?? Would channel 7 have re-scheduled??

Not that it matters really, it got me down to the game in person, so I guess not televising it served its purpose as far as I'm concerned.

No. The Sunday evening game is always a Fox game.

Well, considering that FTA coverage still wasn't available on a friday night when there was nothing else on and it would've bene a ratings bonanza, my answer would be no.

Ch 7 is a disgrace. Would prefer they don't telecast Carlton games (apologies to those without Foxtel). But would much prefer Foxtel or Ch 10 do the telecast. Ch 7 is an absolute disgrace.

The only reason they air less Collingwood matches on Foxtel is because they know that demograpghically Collingwood supporters can't afford cable television...

:wink:

Ch7 are a disgrace of a network and their footy coverage is nothing short of disgraceful. I can't wait for the footy rights to be won by Ch 9 again so we don't have to put up with the trash they continually dish up.
