Pull the undies out of your back side, Bunniesdouche. It is a lot of money. It isn't that bad. Fixed rounds for the first 20 is great for fans. It makes it easier to plan trips to see games. I hate the delayed games as much as anyone, but you can't win everything...

Much better than my initial reaction, relinquishing first and last rights will allow us to have more clout in negotiations in 5 years time when new media has matured.

Loving the fixed schedule by the way. Any details on increases with additional teams?

The only good thing is that after 20 years, Ch9 will be forced to do fixed scheduling (even if its for only 20 out of the 26 rounds, that's still better than what they've done in the past). This is looooooooooooooong overdue and goes to show how much we've allowed tv to dictate and control our game over the years.

Doesn't take into account expansion and the deal doesn't leave much room for a 9th game/ pumping funds into long term sustainability of new clubs..

All I care about, personally, is the greater good of the game and my club. If the game is going to receive the best part of $1.2b over the next 5 years than that is a tremendous result for the game.

Hahaha back to a night Grand Final.

Schedule not even fixed for the whole year but hey, those easily pleased will think that's good enough.

One free to air live game.

2 games that people will NOT have ANY option to watch live.

Sunday night game that will f**k with crowds.

What a rort.
