I think its time for us over here in WA to start waving the white flag in defeat,it just looks impossible to try and watch the finals over here.All year we get by with the excellent coverage that fox offer,but come finals time enter ch 9 to check mate us!
Fox cant show any games live because 9 have the rights,the problem is that they are not showing the games over here untill the wee hours of the morning, some games are not being shown at all.The one baffling thing is that Fox are showing their replays at rediculous times,most games not replayed until the next day and some are on at 4:30 am,why the hell would you put an NRL final on at 4:30 am!
It really eats at me that I can watch almost any sport I want live on my TV,be it EPL soccer,ML baseball,NFL,NBA,Tennis,NBL basketball,AFL,all forms of union,Netball,A League soccer,Cricket,even lawn bowls.
What is it about our game,have we pissed somebody off,are people scared that it might catch on over here and rival their beloved AFL or do we just over estimate the great game and maybe it's not as great as we think.Whatever the reason,the reality is that if a League lover like myself has to go through this much trouble to see a game,what chance do we have of introducing the game to new fans!
On top of this i'm a mad tigers fan with a team in the finals for the first time in 15 years.Instead of watching them i'll be able to watch the thrill a minute A league,cant wait!
