Question

What does people think about the coverage of the AFL on tv?

Answer 1

it sucks and the worse thing is when a game is shown delayed the other networks and radio stations forget and they show the score without warning. they do the same with the cricket.

Answer 2

Personally I don't like 7's coverage at all, Foxtel's worse and that leaves ch 10, their coverage is ok. All commentators are biased, so I tend to listen to the radio coverage any way.

Answer 3

I myself am not a big fan of it, as it means i'll have to subscribe to foxtel if i want to watch all the games i can't get to live..

foxtel is quite costly as well.

to say it has been "the best deal between foxtel and afl ever" [quoted by Andrew Demetriou] is the total opposite for me.

To watch my team's home and EVEN away matches the delays will vary frm 30 mins to 4 HOURS!!

friday night football is STILL Delayed even tho they said ch7 would make ALL games live.

Answer 4

It sucks..... the NAB cup was a waste of time as we dont have foxtel........ *sigh*

Answer 5

I think it's a joke and a waste of time...but that is just my opinion.

Answer 6

It stinks, not enough live games on free-to-air TV, which is totally unfair to those, like me, who don't have and can't afford Foxtel.  The AFL have it this way to try and make people go to the games rather than stay at home and watch them on TV, which is also unfair because not everyone can get to every game.

Answer 7

appauling especially since you cant even see all the games live or at least nearly live..

fox has even lost its afl channel... what the is it with that...

Answer 8

free to air is a joke here in Sydney ch7 has gone back to there old tricks of putting games on replay about 1am

Foxtel lost its afl Chanel but opened fox 3 and already the coverage is brilliant

5 games of afl are live all season per week on foxtel
