Ron19 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am watching Geelong and Carlton. On my TV I can only see the seconds of the countdown clock. Has anyone else have this problem? Good to see a close game. Same here Not for the first time either. I've tried adjusting the format of my TV but still the same. Regards Will On more than one occasion last year, the australianetwork logo covered the score box untill part way through until someone discovered the mistake and changed it.

ripstanley Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 You are probibly right about Essendon but being a Sydney supporter I have to select them. Fair enough,but I can't put up a case for my team fremantle. You should have done. They won well without Sandilands for 98% of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they can't play like that all the time,I don't know.Ballantyne could be in for another holiday although it looks like he was being held by the jumper from behind and thumped the other player to get free.No excuse though.

What an unbelievable game that was. essendon getting nine goals in the last quarter. I think I nearly had a heart attack the good news is this swans can mix it with with the top teams! If essendon had 1 that would have been the biggest comeback after a 48. Point deficit ever Sent from my htc one X.

Good to see a close game.

Geez, You're a better man then me Ron. There's no way I'd let anyone take over the TV while a good game of footy is on. Especially a 5 year old.

It's usually shown live although sometimes there is a slight delay. It's pretty hard to be too critical of a free service though. I'm just happy that we get 4 games.

Thats why when we built the house I had a room with TV,computer and bar fridge built. In the 4th quarter yesterday the door had to be shut. Other wise my step daughter may have learnt some new words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xangsamhua Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Sad to see that Charlie Sutton, captain-coach of the Bulldogs' 1954 premiership team, passed away a few days ago at 88. There are a lot of nice photos of him in ABC News Online, but one that stood out for me was of Charlie and Fred Flanagan, the Geelong great, both suited up and wearing medals, at a Dick Reynolds Anzac Day dinner. Both Charlie and Fred were returned servicemen, as were many of their generation. Modest and honorable men.

It was good to see that Swans were on top last week for 2 day. They were also on top after week one. Good to have some bragging rights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Hawthorn is on every week, but the ladder leaders, for instance, very rarely. (probably because many of the Eagles games are on Sun arvos when Channel 2 need to show more important programs like HMS Pinafore starring John English!) Would be good to be able to watch one of the Western Derby games - wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official (AFL) Bailey Ladder is interesting as it has a finals predictor attached. You can predict results of all future games and see where your team will finish on the ladder and who they will play in the finals. http://www.afl.com.au/bailey%20ladder%20predictor/tabid/13046/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar501 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Been following afl for a couple of years now, and have learned to appriciate the game. Just one thing I don't understand, how is the seasons games scheduled ? Saw one the the seasons early games, I think i was Essendon vs GWS and the commentators said something about Essendon had to continue scoring, as they were only to play GWS once this season, to get a good as possible "percentage", whereas some of the other expected top 8 or top 4 teams were going to meet GWS twice this season, giving them two chances to get the high percentage. Is the play-schedule rollling over more than one year, or what is the explanation ? The concern with teams meeting some teams once a season, other teams twice, is a sticky point with supporters, with many a claim of favoritism. The problem has arisen because there are 17 teams in the competion, each playing only 22 matches in the season before the finals. This does not necessarily mean that if Team A plays Team B twice this year, next year they will meet only once. The whole thing has to do with marketing. For example, the League will schedule Carlton to play Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond twice every season, not negotiable They are Big-Ticket games, and the clubs concerned would not have it any other way, irrespective of the difficulty of winning the games.
