Don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere but after the results of last night and the crows game, it's a distinct possibilty there will only be two teams on 1-1 after this round.

90 minute delay I think


Seriously? I thought we are always meant to get very Crows away game live on FTA?

Why? Are you more special than people who have been loyal to teams they followed for over 26 years?

Foxtel has emerged since those days.
Part of the new deal that they demanded exclusive rights to a set number of games per round.

Its called foxtel. Was always going to happen when they got involved. Just have to deal with it. Why should we be treated any different than other clubs supporters.

Why do people have a right to watch footy for free? They paid for the rights, that's the way it is

No one said it was a right but the AFL promised this wouldn't happen when Pay TV got involved they said don't worry every Crows away game will still be live on FTA.

That was years ago.

I am probably biased given I pay for Foxtel but I don't see why games should be on free to air

Can't question the Saints' endeavour so far. Really should be further in front.
