You would think so wouldn't you? Anyone else wishing channel 7 had won the broadcasting rights for the NRL?

Thorpie passes too early and that merkin still breathes.

Should have drawn the winger and created the overlap.

How about, "If he dies, Good Riddance!"? Can we agree on that?

I would settle for them being allowed to compete, just to drive Nein's price up. But yes, absolutely. And I'd like a pony.

If a Tram just happened to clean up Eddie on the way to one of his weekly conga-line visits with his AFL mates, I wouldn't be terribly upset.

It's that bad that I'd even see 10 as an improvement.

The bloke, in all honesty, should be fired from the top post and left to play with his quiz shows.

If I pushed the opposition's product in any way, shape or form, I'd be shown the door quicker than an AFL player can belt a woman. Yet Eddie can do it openly and with utter disdain for the sport that holds his company's balls in it's hands.

Disgraceful.

What the hell was packer thinking?

I hope with eddie in charge, 9 comes last in the ratings with everything bar the NRL.

I hope they show these AFL shows in NSW and QLD so he gets the idea that we don't give a f**k about the shyte.

L. Ron Hubbard's ghost told him to do it.

I wouldn't be half suprised if Packer is crazy. Like literally crazy. Like cutting off his toes to boild and eat for lunch crazy.

It's nice to be the King, huh?

In any case, let's think about who has who by the balls here. He's got ours and he's squeezing so our eyes are watering.

I wish he's pissoff there then.

He could pump the code as much as he likes, it wouldn't worry me as I don't watch that channel, or 10, I watch 9 for RL, yet I see more AFL on there than RL.

Even now you look at the people 9 has working for them, they're all bloody victorian. :x

I'm pondering switching from my preferred news (Nein/WIN), local and state, to Seven as my own little protest. As a matter of fact, he can shove all his programs except the footy up his AFL-loving ass. God knows there should be enough room up there the way he bends over for that crap game.

It's got me farked why anyone would think Packer (senior or junior) would care in the slightest that they're be producing another AFL show. Would you be pissed off if someone was making you millions of dollars? Not a chance in the world. If people took off their rugby league blinkers just for a moment they'd see that financially speaking it's an excellent and logical move. Besides that, the point has been made many times before that nine were producing AFL shows a long time before they had the footy rights when 7 had them and this is no different.

The simple fact is that these shows rate their arses off in AFL states and make millions in advertising revenue. Why they hell wouldn't you have them on? You'd be mad not to and i'm sure if it bothered Packer junior at all he'd be stepping in and putting a stop to it seeing as he's ultimately the top man. But of course he isn't going to do that because he's too busy sitting back watching his bank account grow courtesy of another top rater :lol:

It should be the NRL who people are pissed at given how spineless they were when it came to 'negotiating' the tv rights. If they had've played hard ball as the AFL did and stipulated exactly what they wanted then we wouldn't even be discussing this now. The NRL made the bed and it's the fans who have to lie in it.

In 3 states dickhead, the rest of us will be watching something else, like bundy night football on Fox.

And packer doesn't make all his money from tv, he makes it from casino's.

Now now settle petal. I'm not exactly sure of the point you're trying to make as i mentioned that these types of shows rate their arse of in AFL states which is mainly the 3 states you're talking about. But as i also said these AFL shows make millions in advertising revenue regardless of if they're only shown in 3 states or every state. Bottom line is they make money for young Jamie and that's my entire point.

Also who said Packer makes all his money from tv? Of course he doesn't, as mentioned he makes it from casino's and many many other business ventures but again i can't even see why you brought it up. It's totally irrellevant if he gets his money from nine, casino's, shares, companies he owns or the get out stakes at Randwick, all i said is channel nine make millions from these AFL shows whether you want that to be true or not.
