TV Rights Battle Continues...

[chemicalbrother]

I Think the Court Case(Channel 7 vs everyone in Media) secured the TV DEAL, LONG before PBL put in a bid.

YES!


I cannot wait for Sports Tonight and vision of that North Melbourne rat who runs our game crying ;-) ;-)

Whats the feeling like in BigFooty land Kev? Positive or Negative?

(I got banned for trolling the Geelong board lol)

((Yes, Otten's finger lol))

Trolling the Geelong board LOL... I've never even been in to the Geelong board.

I strongly suspect that if I ever get banned from BF it'll be for trolling the Hawthorn board... :lol:

As expected, its a mixed response over there, but most favour the new arrangements. Not surprisingly, the support ratio is a tad more skewed when it comes to Collingwood fans.

As one would expect from BF, the key discussion has quickly turned to potential commentary line-ups, with the big question pertaining to Brereton's potential to weasel his way back into the 7 fold.

God I would have loved to have seen Sam Newman's face when he heard the news!

On Demetriou... You do realise that in one fell swoop he has refashioned himself from zero to hero with the broader fan base. Richly undeserved methinks, but I'm too pleased with the result to care.

As much as I'm pleased to see 9 out of the picture, I'm equally happy to see 10 still in play, as I think they've been good since coming on board. Hopefully they'll keep Blight on their roster.

7 & 10 look set to be a top partnership.

Seeing though that the rights battle is supposedly over, lets hope that some of this money not only goes to the players, but to the clubs as well.

Word!

I'd like to see all of it going to the clubs, given that the players are already well remunerated these days and already have sound annual increases built into their CA.

Who does Brendan Gale think he's kidding in speculating on large player wage increases (20-50%)??!!
