Okay - very depressing Sunday on Fox as I sit here watching my beloved Tiges cop a floggin from the *smile* Bombers. :help

How bad were those Frawley Days!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:(

a. Last month a PRE poster was able to identify all the Tiges games in the Fox schedule. Could he/she please do it again? :clap :clap

b. Can someone actually confirm the NAB TV timings as there seems to be a discrepency between the Ads and what is in the Feb TV guide :help

Appreciate help

PS - I realise I'm not the only one who thinks the current Tiges line up is chasms above that team of 02 :)
 
Just sat down to watch this game-or the first so called classic quarter-an absolute belting!!
Round 2 2002-just after Frawley went out and sold off draft picks to "top up" our supposedly gun team.
This game should have been the wake up call-in that quarter we looked slow and uncoordinated-and the coaches bench did nothing to stop the bleeding-probably believing we had the cattle to go head to head-Hilton,Houlihan, King etc etc etc!!
The only positive to come out of that quarter was some of the work done by Jason Torney-who Frawley promptly let go at the end of that year

--depressing all that stuff-thank god its in the past-we have come along way I think!!

If you think that game was bad, how about the game on Foxtel last night from I think 2000. The game where Libba did Knights over, and he left the field with blood everywhere. We also got flogged with our usual brilliant game plan of kicking every ball to the opposition, and not kicking to Richo unlees he was blanketted by at least three other players. Worked very well it did, as we lost big time to the Bullies. God, we were bad in those days. Did see Tivva kick two right foot passes though, right to a man. Wonder he was not dragged for kicking to a team mate!!

Another part of the awe inspiring game plan was to always kick to the forward pocket. If the ball went to an oppo then that was good. The final part of the jigsaw was to ensure there was always an opposition player left on his own.

Our game starts at 4.10pm according to the AFL site if that's any help.

We are eons away from those dark days - not saying there wont be tough days ahead but at least we now have a decent plan in place and the players that will contribute to that plan. We still have a way to go but for once in decades we are on the right track finally.

if Tivva can fix that radar on his left and get a serviceable right foot, he'll be a very valuable unit for us.

i hate 'ifs'
 
I didn't start going to the footy until 2001 and the Knighter incident happened then (I am pretty sure), I was there, right in front, and missed most of the action cause I was watching the ball...

Ads suggest its not live - I think it starts at 7:30 or 8:30. What does the Feb guide say? I'm too tight to pay the $3 a month for a tv guide !
 
Bloody Foxtel. Their compressed digital transmission is a joke ! The amount you pay for subscription, you’d think they would transmit using a decent resolution instead of compromising subscribers’ viewing quality by trying to skimp on the bandwidth they’re using.

Foxtel is a rip-off artist !

Kill the Murdochs ! (Except Sarah. She's ok. She can live.)
 
I saw a add on Fox Footy the other day say that the Sydney v Kangaroos game starts on tv around 5pm, Richmond v Hawthorn around 7:30pm and Geelong vs Carlton around 10pm.

So it wont be on Live on Fox Footy because the game starts at 4:10pm and Geelong v Carlton starts at 7:40pm, Last year i think 10 showed the double header live on FTA so maybe FF are gonna take there feed on delay?

That’d be right. Foxtel are getting as bad as the FTA’s i.e. delaying and stuffing around with their programming at the expense of their viewers.
 
Thanks

I'm in Sydney so kicking off with a BBQ at 5 and then leading into the main event at 7.30 suits fine.

Just have to turn off mobile/radio - but - I'm a Fox Fan.

No ads during the game makes a big difference :)

Cheers
