Re: No TV Coverage?
It's a shame people like you and P76 don't understand the relevance of this change is the AFL listening and responding very quickly to a request from both our club and fans through various channels.Bunk_Moreland wrote:Saintberra wrote:Confirmed: They will be broadcasting the game from 3:10 EST on saints.com.au !

Yes, it's a meaningless praccy match but if this is an indicator as to their change of attitude it can only be positive.

Re: No TV Coverage?
It is an important marketing tool for their sport. Most third world countries could get s*** done better than us. It's about time they listened to fans. If you don't want to know about it don't watch but it should be an option not a right of the networks to own the rights to not show matches. They still have a responsibility to the public. Last year they had no coverage of the Port match. They play them in the middle of nowhere alienating fans then wonder why everyone thinks dickheads run the comp. Gilligan might actually have to do something now the Bombers screwed up their competition.

Its a practice game. It should be played in the middle of nowhere to get people interested. We get 22 games a year to watch. And by the way where do you want these practice games played anyway? By the way the NRL must be a third world sport as bugger of their practice games are on TV. Actually can you tell me an Australian sport where most practice games are on TV apart from Aussie rules.
Re: No TV Coverage?
does this mean if you can't watch it live online it will be available later for those who want to watch it later?

Re: No TV Coverage?
Yes it's only a practice match but is branding and exposure for our fans and our sponsors. We are low supporting club member wise but there are many who follow us. Enabling them to see our team play at any cost is a positive. Our bank balance is in the red anything to help us to get back onthe black and climb up the ladder.

And if Channel 7 don't want to show the practice games then how can they be shown. They don't rate because they mean nothing. No FTA channel would want them. That's why they are now only on Foxtel. Got any other Australian sports that show practice games on any sort of station? I cant think of any.
Re: No TV Coverage?
Why be a knob about it? Some of us are happy to be able to watch the match, and others seem to be happy to go into a thread about the TV coverage that they don't want to watch just to bag people.

Who has done that? If they have they are strange people.
Re: No TV Coverage?
That's a stupid thing to say. You're talking to a group of people who've spent the entire off season on a fan forum talking about footy. And somehow you're surprised they want to watch their team play? I think your lack of logic is the real problem here.Bunk_Moreland wrote:Oh thank god, apparently it was the end of the world for some that they couldn't watch a practice matchSaintberra wrote:Confirmed: They will be broadcasting the game from 3:10 EST on saints.com.au !

is it about 7 not wanting to ? they mean nothing ? really ? the whole thing is controlled by the AFL and who they give the rites to.
These practice games are sought after by every footy fan in Australia ...stupid comment..oops sorry again...go easy on me....dumb...sorry terets .

Delve in deeper and we need to know if 7 could broadcast nab games on 7MATE instead. The secondary channels are more open now than they ever have been and that should be an option for the pre season.
