How bad were Ch.7?

[Six Pack]

I don't know what drugs they were on but in the last qtr they had this ghosting thing going on. And McAvaney is well and truly finished. does Watson ever have anything to say?

I heard country viewers ring 3AW furious with a stuff up in the last qtr where they gave away the scores then went back to the game.

Clowns.

 

[Yellow n Black!]

Absolute Joke!!

Nothing has changed since Round 1... they are a rabble!

Channel 10 should have bought out the lot, and done it themselves!

Thank god they are doing the Grand Final, i can get pissed and at least enjoy the coverage!

 

[Tiger74]

Heard that on AW too, bl00dy incompetant, and sums up their broadcast of the footy this year.

Make 10 look like a gun effort

 

[Stuart]

Didn't see today's coverage, though their efforts (ch 7) throughout the year have been nothing short of diabolical. Appears that they only bidded to p!ss channel 9 off.

 

[feisty tige]

Do they ever notice anything, I thought G Ablett had done something to his knee late in the last Q and came off, no one mentioned it, was it not as bad as I thought? Oh well, he has a week to get over anything if he is injured.

3LO were discussing an incident on CH10 and how they'd been caught out and needed to lift their act. I didn't hear it all but the gist I got was they claimed their game was live but showed the score or final celebrations before it had "ended", thus showing it wasn't live at all. Did anyone else hear it and have a more accurate idea of what actually happened? I guess one way to prove it would be to listen to the radio while watching the telecast.

I turned on the radio to listen to another station (triple j) but had to change from MMM, they were interviewing a Geelong player about the win... was still going on the telly, I thought all games were supposed to be live but obviously 7 didn't think it worthy ?

Didn't hear the 3LO call rosy but that might be in relation to Ch 10 and their countdown clock. Article in todays sun by mark stevens I think, explains that after buddy's goal they cut to the Hawthorn box where they knew they had just won the game because of the time remaining and statred celebrating, thus leaving everyone at home with no doubt there was no time for the crows to pinch it.

Turn't on prime (ch7) late in the arvo and it had the final couple of minutes of the roo v cats game (live) siren went then they went back to the 10 min mark of the last quater. ???

Yeah what a joke i was with my mate (cats fan) and at about the 10 min mark the vision went to mooney and archer shaking hands and you saw all the after match in the rooms. MY MATE WENT NUTS!!! so funny. then after about 5 mins they went back to 10 min mark of the game!!
The worst thing about this was there was no apology!! then the ghost think happened!!
Channel 7 clearly spent all there money on gaining the right and have no money to put into the coverage!!!

TAKE IT OF THEM I SAY!!!!!!

7 have been terrible all year.

We were lucky in adelaide it was live but still that ghosting was annoying.

Channell 7 have treated viewers with contempt all year putting Western movies on instead of showing games live on Sundays. They are a disgrace. The wholeAFL Broadcasting was a disgrace this season . Bring back Fox Footy.

 

[BloodOath]

7 imo have been average all year - their commentary team is so bad. I actually think the Ox does OK but Bruce struggles and Tim Watson is a complete loss - he is on par with Steven Silavani (and thats saying something!)

ALso, Rick Olerenshaw - poor performer if he spoke any quicker aor more muddled he would be up their with the channel 10 guy from perth (Tim Gossage?) - a disgrace

 

[baktiger]

Heard on the radio that it was a problem with Prime - not Seven at all.
Still - 7 suck.

They do this so the game finishes as close to the 6pm News as possible. Why do you think games are starting so late now for finals

I relaise this and watch Ch 9 news because of this. If not bugger htem Foxtel it is, twilight game always entertaining. I am not going to be treated with such contempt and do as they think I should. Bugger htem. Give us good footy coverage like we deserve and then I wil lconsider watching their news. With Foxtel there is no excuse for me not to get all games otehr than the SA home game live. It is a disgrace and the AFL Broadcasting Department dont do anything about it. All about hte almighty dolalr to them. Who cares about the fans.

Both 7 and 10 are guilty for not showing games live. They have paid for this right and just hardly ever use it.
Southern Cross are the regional partner of 10 and showed both Saturday games live.
Prime went with 7's delay and by the sounds of it made a mess.
Fox sports has the best TV coverage for mine and I don't mind paying for good service. If it's not on Fox I listen to a radio broadcast.
