A hell of a lot, you'd be surprised, and it is of huge interest nationally.
Certainly would get a massive more people watching nationwide than the SANFL would IMHO (all be it a completely different demographic on the whole).


I'll try and get you an actual figure.

For all those who have written to ABC2, watch your letterboxes. You may get a letter from ABC2 asking if there will be a similar campaign with C9 for a magarey medal telecast :oops:

Unfortunately, that decision certainly seems to undermine this campaign somewhat. :(

Undermine - I wouldn't have thought so. I want to watch the SANFL, the VFL and the WAFL but I don't want to watch the countdown to each regional medal.

Channel 2 should stop defending the indefensible (and finger point elsewhere like governments do) and worry about getting their own act together.

Whoever gets a letter should write back and say "well what about your coverage of the Magarey Medal, what happened to that?"

Is the SANFL standard going backward that quickly for us to lose so much coverage so quickly?
It probably is, but what can we do to stop this decline?
