Twilight Grand Final
- Thread starter Rosy
- Start date
Stuff the AFL and their corporate heavy handedness. thought the game was a family affair(ha,ha,ha,ha!) once. This day has been iconic for Australians wide for many years and now they are wanting to shaft those ideals. I am accepting of footy as it is today (just) and very accepting of most change and innovation but LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE YOU DICKHEADS!
I particularly liked how channel 10 news reported it last night. Like they are being hard done by, ...."after the AFL charged the networks 780 million dollars to broadcast the AFL."..
Umm, no Mal, that would would the 780 mil that your network and partners OFFERED/BID for the rights to broadcast :

The tv networks knew it was a day G/F when they bid for the rights.
They knew what they were getting.
How about its "the peoples game".

I dont care anyways i have never been and couldnt be bothered going to a Grand Final..... even if the Tigers were innit.
Grand Final day is all about $$$, corporates, big business and advertising and TV networks its not for the fans and hasnt been for the past decade.

I have heard that if the Grand Final was played at 2.45am,a huge Taliban audience would watch.Please pass on to the networks quickly.
There will be far more alcohol related issues especially at the game as people will still start drinking at lunch (maybe breakfast) and then be completely tanked and go to the game. Will be even worse at grand final parties.
Problem is, more people will probably stay at home and watch it by themselves rather than all sitting around at a friends place watching the game. This will give an artificial ratings boost as there are more tvs tuned in, but the same amount of people just on more tvs.

If people really want to stop this then en masse they need to contact the AFL, the TV networks and most especially the sponsors and tell them that they will not go to the games, watch the game or buy the sponsors product where possible. The most important part of this is to then back it up. No ratings, no advertising, no change of game.

Heh heh. I reckon that would be right too.
Prefer the arvo but only because of tradition. I wouldn't fight too hard.
