PARADE of Champions CANCELLED.

Bazza ABSOLUTELY no-one is saying that it didn't rain on the Sunday of the WAFL GF. However, there was no asterisk next to G Taylor's comments that their expectation was a crowd in excess of 30,000. No disclaimers nor caveats that it would only be achieved if it wasn't a Peel Subiaco GF. No disclaimers nor caveats that it would only be achieved if it was a dry day.

Why do you continue to rationalise the ineptitude of the WAFC? Why do you continue to approve the damage done by the AFL to the WAFL?

On another note , was good to see the Goal and Mark of the Year awards back for WAFL, 5000 bucks each, Tim Kelly picking up goal of the year,,,

And the SFFFC Stephen Michael Foundation won community award of the year ...well done to them.
When Ch 2 covered it they had 3/5 of SFA awards.

Your figures comparing ch7 and 2 are factually misleading. Ch 7's current ratings figures include metro and regional combined wheras the ABC's rating figures were only ever metro, the regional was not included ( not sure why). At least you knew where and when the ABC coverage was on and for EVERY game but up against AFL as well. Sometimes the ABC's metro only figures beat the Ch 7 combined metro and regional and sometimes not. The ABC coverage and quality of commentators, local knowledge etc shits all over Ch 7 to be brutally honest

Bullshit, both figures include ALL viewers state-side.

ABC was using 1970s technology and was embarrassingly backwards, and offered no prizes, its was like amateur hour.

No Bazza you are 100% wrong on this both figures are not ALL viewers state wide, that is factually 100% wrong - and this is direct from the current Sports Director at the ABC. Unlike you I did my research and asked those that actually know the facts

Yeah like ABC would be honest about their shit ratings,,give me a break.

And even if it didn't, factor in regional plus city Ch 7 would still be way higher with the new DIGITAL Formats including all viewers...
