AFL COVERAGE IN QLD/NSW??

betch ya · February 16, 2013, 12:56:44 PM

moved to alice springs late last year, and from what i can gather the channels are qld/nsw based. they were playin the nrl footy show b4 the afl footy show(on ch9), but as i moved up weekend b4 the grand final, ch7 were showin live anyway. so my question is do ch7 play friday night, saturday day, saturday night and sunday day games live (or very close 2) that i had been accustomed to living in adelaide? or will it only be brisbane/gold coast games i get with other games being replayed late at night? cheers

every game 7 has is live on mate but being in alice springs i'm not sure if you will be on the qld lines. if so you'll get Gold Coast and Brisbane every weekend.

As has been said games will be live on one of Sevens additional digital channel 7 mate or 7 two

Last year we had 4/5 games live each week. Always a minimum of 4 including Friday Night but sometimes 5 which may be a result of extra game involving Brisbane or Gold Coast. Saturday Afternoon game was live but next game could have been either the Twilight game or Evening games. Sunday at times was either the afternoon game or twilight game but all games were live.

Was a big improvement on the previous year where we seen very few games live and Friday Night game usually started around mid night.

Sadly No Nab cups apart from Final on seven.

cheers, just weighin up whether to get foxtel or not but 4 games minimum a weekend isnt 2 bad, probably not worth $67 a month for another 3-4 games a weekend.

If you are getting anything close the the NSW coverage I would get Foxtel. Its showerhouse up here. Even if it is on it will be delayed.

Last year I really enjoyed coverage in Qld compared to the previous years. Some weekends had 5 games live even with 4 there is a minimum of 2 games not involving Brisbane or GC if you do not support either.
Basically you need to see which states coverage is being taken as well - If Qld you will get the minimum 4 live but not sure of NSW as fidou has highlighted.

My sister lives in Alice and there is no doubt it is an AFL town. Of course there are expats from all over Australia each who have individual preferences but AFL is the king of the codes in the wider community.

Doesn't mean it always translates into tv coverage but I haven't heard too many complaints from them.

That is true, The Sydney coverage is great for me as i can watch every Swans game but if you live in Sydney and dont support the Swans or Giants you wont see much of your team. Mind you now that Channel 7 are showing Friday night games i am watching the AFL rather than the NRL

ahhh, yeah that's true. A couple of times I was keen to see a freo or gc game, and it wasn't on.

All games are on Foxtel. In Brisbane you get the GC and lions games so you usually mis out on the good Saturday night games...
