They could do this at all the grounds so you are not looking into empty areas. It wouldn't take much you would think.

Ive always wondered why they dont do that, I guess its Power etc on one side.

Can Bar at Basso means it shouldn't effect the day out too significantly of those behind the camera but then again that's only relevant for one game in 2015.

I Noticed there were only two small camera's at the EF V PTH game at ground level.
Seemed like they do it on the Cheap compared to the amount of Camera's the ABC used to have at games..

also many grounds run north south with the stands on the western side meaning cameras would be shooting straight into the sun if on the eastern side.

As a viewer I have found the camera work vastly superior to ABC, don't judge camera quality by size , most of the gear the ABC was using was pretty antiquainted, the commercials have got all the latest gear, the ABC have now disposed of all their OB gear and not replacing it, as its too expensive to get the latest technology for what little they do now.

Also unlike the ABC they have cameras at all the grounds, if you look at the WAFL highlisghts package each week they have marks and goals from all games, inlcuding west perth.

Basso looks great on TV, no need to change anything, btw, I've seen a bit of Basso footage on the WAFL highlights package,

Good to hear Baaza. Haven't caught a glimpse as of yet.

The wafl tv section on the wafl app seems to be empty now, anybody know why?

Unable to help you there TOO. All that technology is a bit deep for me.

In this modern day and age, why can't we have battery powered television cameras? We seem to be living in a world of battery powered everything else.
Then parts of the vision could be shown from the other side of the ground without the need of pesky power leads.
