Is it just me or is there a trainee producer on the telecast tonight?
The camera work, distance and angles are terrible....

Its not just you. Absolutely carp.

bloody awful

My facebook winge at half time:

Dear AFL,
I know you cant do anything about this but needed to express my complete and utter annoyance to someone.

Tonight the Adelaide Football Club are playing Fremantle Football Club in a huge clash at AAMI Stadium. I couldnt make it tonight so natrually i decided my beloved Crows on the TV. Well so I thought...

What is with all these absoulte piss poor camera angles? Im missing half the bloody game because 7's so called production staff and trying to be creative with their abnormal shots and camera angles.

For example, Kurt Tippett's last kick before the half time siren. You switched to the stedi-cam at ground level, great!? or not! All I could see was two umpires asses, 4 white poles that looked like toothpicks and then a yellow spec fly through a the middle of the tooth picks!!

Seriously if Channel 7 is gonna pay $1.25 billion to deliver this shit, especially in finals, they should be ashamed. All I want to do is see the game and ALL OF IT! AFL put your footdown and have Channel 7 deliver some decent coverage for their viewers!

Yours sincerly,
AFL Supporters Australia Wide!

Camera angles terrible, making it nearly impossible to pick up the players half the time .. For example I've only seen Tippett once all game

Taylor Walker?

The fox guys were taking the piss out of walkers kick at half time saying no one will ever be able to see it, have they only got limited cameras?

Why thank you ....

Was shocking.

Why don't they stick with what's worked?

Pretty sure the director was on magic mushies...

And broadcast quality! Standard Definition is rubbish!

Most comprehensive live coverage ever – for the first time, Australian AFL fans will be able to watch every single AFL Home & Away game and FOXTEL Cup game live, in High Definition, and uninterrupted siren to siren on FOXTEL and AUSTAR.
Guaranteed live Finals coverage nationally – for the first time on Australian television, FOXTEL and AUSTAR subscribers will be able to watch the entire Finals Series (not including the Grand Final) live, in HD and uninterrupted siren to siren.

The close up camera angle is bloody annoying and they kept going to it!! Why can't they just stick with the normal camera angle FFS, which make watching the game on tv so much better.

"Loved" the zoom from the corner of the centre square every friggin' centre bounce.

The close-up of the Sherrin cracked me up.

Unless the player is having trouble dropping the footy on to his boot then it's an unmotivated, irrelevant cut!

Like a helluva lot of the coverage.

It was like watching a film where a director just shot a whole bunch of stuff hoping it would come together in the cut.

Of course, it never does...

Agree. What I find amusing is that they trial these things in the finals! Do they have a brain?

Pharking annoying

Terrible. Walkers goal was great but I got to see the arses of 2 umpires while this was happening. Channel 7, as much as I dont mind the alternative views, I would like to see some football and not other mens butts.
