This is the Game of the year for us. We need to Turn up and show our passion & Support.


Ch.7 don't Deserve showing any Live Games. Their coverage of the Olympics so far has been Awful. I have never seen any Live Soccer game that gets cut off every 10 min to Show commercial Adds for 20 minutes!!!


The Footy at Ch7 is even worse. My Favorite Moment of the Game is when a Goal is Scored, and then just enjoying the Reaction and comments afterwards but we never get to see that. A goal gets kicked, then next Bounce. There is no passion at ch.7.

Its on live at the Inglewood Hotel 12pm Sunday.

Seven gets AFL nod on Carlton-North game

No-one consulted the home team.

The "AFL nod" wouldn't have anything to do with the fat wanker in charge of the AFL being currently enjoying thousands of dollars of food, er, hospitality courtesy of Seven, would it?

You've really got to wonder how some of these people get their big salaries. I'm a piss drinking yahoo yet I was able to realise a couple of weeks ago that there was going to be a clash with this Carlton game and the olympics. Seven seem happy to put out bushfires as they happen, rather than preventing them (classic public service lingo)...

http://www.afl.com.au/TVRadio/BroadcastGuide/tabid/9451/default.aspx

I have had it with these mofos. Seven were always going to bow to public pressure after the complaints from last Sunday for the Crows v Tiges game.

Yeah sure, it is going to be on Main Event in Brisbane on Sunday which is great, but why the flower isn't Main Event utilised when Brisbane or Sydney are the early game and Seven elect to show that on free to air rather than the 2 o'clock game.

The olympics are flowered any way. You can't show this, you can't refer to the olympics in these instances. You can't stand here, you can't do this or that. Go flower yourself. I wonder where Prince got his ideas regarding use of his music.

Channel Seven, AFL and IOC, go flower yourself

But this is our home game and I believe it will impact the crowd and our financials!! I hope we get compensation for this from the AFL for lower crowd numbers ... (having said that, its a huge game for both clubs and there should be heaps there anyway)

Sweet! Wonder if it is on at the Odin Tavern too?

There'll still be 40K+ I reckon. I'm not sure numbers will be affected too badly???

Wouldn't the home team get a cut from the broadcast, or doesn't it work like that?

Wonder if ATN will be taking it ...

[checks Y! TV-guide]

WOOHOO!!! But I'll be reading the match-day thread, too .. much to everyones delight but with the appreciation of our OS readers

Bingo. Absolutely spot on.

The outcry over Ch 7 showing the football last weekend was farcical. Fact remains that they have a contract to show these games anyway and the Olympic whinging bastards should recognise that fact. If I were a Crows/Tigers supporter I'd be really pissed off the game was shelved for equestrian or some bullshit. Two way street.

And of course, we get dudded. The fact that we weren't contacted about it speaks volumes about the contempt in which the clubs are held by the AFL.

"This is a one-off event where we have a clash and we are delighted that we can work with Seven and Foxtel, as two of our broadcast partners, to achieve the best result for as many people as possible," said AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou.

one off event, that happens to happen every four years you knitting idiot.

did 7 and the AFL only just realise the olympics would clash or something?

@#$%&! clowns running our game fair dinkum.

SO, SO Pissed about this!

"Ch 7 have a contract to show the game" on Monday to "Ch 7 have a contract to show the game, but we only care that they do that in Vic, so screw you interstate based people"......
