Channel 7 announcement...

Great to have footy on Saturdays but these games before or after an AFL game are a concern.

Will the SANFL game still start at 2.10 or will we have the ridiculous 12.15 starts that Norwood and Centrals have had to endure over the last couple of seasons.

Probably be a mix, though with 7 losing the Saturday afternoon game to Fox (who have unsuccessfully tried to offload it to 10), I'd say the bulk would be a 2:10pm start.

Once again their bias for the 2 AFL teams is obvious with their tv allocations for 2017 they are showing Port v Adelaide games twice surely they could allocate one of them to real SANFL teams.Although i guess that they really show the other eight clubs because they have to not because they want to.If they had their way the AFL teams would be on every week.

So they ought to be on the tv..............playing each other every week rather than playing SANFL clubs

It's about ratings . It is a commercial TV station and they dont care about the SANFL just the ratings obviously as they are a business. I would like a few night games televised but that can only happen at Norwood Oval. It would be interesting to see the break down of rating of clubs. West V South or Eagles or that combo wouldn't rate. West V South probably the lowest.

Thats my point their tokenistic televising of other 8 clubs shows they really couldnt give a stuff about them.

At least it is exposure to the comp. Like I said , depends who is playing. I think tokensim is when they televise clubs as mentioned.
