[docbrown]

Cheers as usual mate.

Think 9 have bumped up their Eddie McGuire-a-thon by 10 minutes.

Edit 6:30pm apparently now

Delaney is so boned...

 

[hineyrulz]

So 5,30pm cornfed time??? Tune in, hopefully this has been all news spin and we will get the deal we deserve.

 

[Tommy Smith]

A 6pm Friday timeslot would be laughable. About 58 people would turn up to that game.

Apart from that disastrous possibility I'm willing to wait and see before making too many judgements.

9 milking the presser for extra TV ratings in their news

 

[Lockyer4President!]

The HD isn't going to do them any favours. Hard negotiations for a day and then broadcasting closeups of bleary faces to the world in 1080i.

Don't like Thomson at all. Sat in the afl presser and railroaded us. f**k him off.

 

[taipan]

Thanks John, now tell me I'm wrong and why?

For a start Bruce,no expansion decision would be made at a press conference for a Tv deal.

 

[applesauce]

When somebody comes across a live stream of the presser may you please post a link.

i read he's an Essendope fan

 

[tumbidragon]

Is it supposed to be on 9?

 

[Rosetta]

Weedler says the announcement is tomorrow.

You would have to think that there's more to the deal than just $1.8bn over 5 years if it's taken them the last 24hrs flat out to negotiate to a point that they can announce something.

Thye've probably just told him that in hopes he goes away

If these leaked details are correct, it's just another case of Newscorp and Foxtel getting everything they want yet again.

 

[El Diablo]

Newscorp?

never heard of the f**ker until just now

You read right....

They lost Monday night

They lost scheduling

They paid more more for sat night than they wanted to.
