If not live it should be shown no later than 9.30pm so it can at least take advantage of the flick over factor from the fumbleball semi final.

If the NRL allows Nein Melbourne to show the the Storm semi at the usual 12.10am time, then they should all be sacked immediately!

I am going to be in Melbourne next weekend, so i am hopeful of both games being live. Highly doubt it though.

I've just been informed the game is on at 11.30pm.

To anyone who wants to phone Channel 9 and register their disappointment, the number is 03-9429 0201

You'll get a receptionist so just be nice. Not her fault 9 are a pack of dogs.

You never know they might change it if they get enough complaints they've done it before. Then again that probably wasn't when it was up against an AFL prelim. Looks like it'll be off to one of only a couple pubs that'll probably be showing it live. f**king disgraceful.

f**king nine...

What's the point of forking out hundreds of millions of dollars when you do things like this.

For the sweet sweet candy extracted from the hetero sports states. They're just being practical. 9 wants to be able to milk sodomyball in Vic, eventually, and the Homoball mafia plays it rough and sweaty. 9 knows it can absorb the the relatively smaller loss in melbourne, by the profits elsewhere. They don't want to upset the AFL cabal, as 9 hopes to one day be the pitcher again.

Everyone wins, as far as they are concerned- the VFL rump ranging continues without competition, 9 still makes $$$, and they don't get snubbed in the bath houses and public dunnies.

Melbourne is the "america" of Australia. The whole universe revolves around them just like the yanks think it does with them. This decision does not surprise me. (though it annoys me big time). As long as this continues our game will never be taken seriously down there.

9 Melbourne probably would only show it live if the AFL said they could. 9 never want to piss them off and they are far more interested in promoting it despite not having the rights

They advertised that all final games will be live,So what do they do this weeks Roosters Vs Warriors is a delayed replay .Hope these Priicks lose the rights .....what do they all think we dont wanna miss their abysmal current affair or something ?.
Hope they lose the rights to channel 7.
Pretty slack and a big kick in the head for Sydney people who have no games to go to this week.
might as well delay all the games to justify themselves
Bunch of no good crooks
PS
At least Channel 7 will pay the right money and the cap will be better off.
Tune into the radio and stuff baldy ,longnose,fat redhead and frogs eyes.
Boycott the bastards.

FFS, pick something worthwhile to whinge about, like the colour of the top traffic light!

So we should not watch the game because it isn't on at our preferred time? That's it. Not watching Gardening Australia ever until they put it on Thursday at 3pm.

Whingeing f**ktard!!!!!
