Must hit EF pretty hard with the reduced draft fees as they get a heap of blokes drafted each year from their nursery.

Well the commish isn't too flush the 7 clubs are continually told squeeze

Where are & why isn't the royalty payment coinage covering this broadcast deal???

That's what the coin is supposed to address - the league's grassroots

Looking forward to the WAFL coverage continuing. I just hope Ch7 will be able to squeeze a bit of the match in between commercials.

The royalty payment from tv rights for this season will be double they have received for the last 5+ years combined.

So it begs interpretation that after this year it will pay for itself then Barn ????

Is the rumour true that Channel 7 will only broadcast games from three venues - Arena, Leederville & Rushton?

the 3 dung holes?

Well nobody goes to Rushton, Arena can 50 people into their tiny grandstand and you might be able to see the scoreboard at Medibank on TV cos you cant see it at the ground.

Broadcast from Steel Blue at least there will be some atmosphere from a good crowd being at the game or the 2 freo sides grounds.

No mate, they have confirmed all venues will have coverage. , I for one am ver glad to see WAFL back on seven. The 2 week early start is an excellent chance for some non dorks budgie airtime.,,we only get 18 games plus finals , but it's sure better than nine, well don't to Macdonlafs coming in with the dough, I'll have a Big Mac for that,

Sorry to be cynical here but i have read the article a few times and unless I'm mistaken, nowhere does it implicitly say that the games will be telecast live. In fact the implication seems to be that they would be played at one time and replayed on TV at another to achieve as Sautner puts it ..."want to make sure they are in a prime time opportunity for viewing".

Hope I'm wrong because if this is the case it will be a step down from the ABC coverage
