While the AFL rights deal is confidential, the undertakings by News and Nine are revealed in court documents filed in Seven Network's lawsuit over the demise of its pay TV arm, C7. The AFL's general manager, broadcasting, strategy and major projects, Ben Buckley, refused to comment. A spokesman for the National Rugby League, John Brady, said it had never done deals such as the AFL's where it tried to "legislate the outcome" of editorial coverage.

Seven's court papers also show how a broadcaster's commitment to one sport can work to the detriment of others. In a November 2000 email commenting about its commitment to AFL, when Seven still held the rights, a C7 executive, Steven Wise, said the sport, much to the chagrin of its supporters."'"

That'd be fine if the ads actually had Advertisement Feature as you put it, they don't.

And secondly, ch9 do not have the rights to AFL, yet in the last 3 years, they have had some pretty pathetic stories about AFL taking over Sydney and Brisbane, and also how it's expanding around the world on their flagship current affairs show called 60 minutes.

I know a heap of people who emailed that pathetic mob after their hatchet job on RL and not 1 letter was read out, only the letters glorifying the fumble code, the media ing stinks.

If your code needs to resort to this type of crap to get coverage, the sport ain't worth it imo.

When an NRL of lower grader does something stupid, the media are all over it and blaming the code, even places like Vic, SA and WA that don't give RL even an ounce of publicity in regards to scores, how the game is going or what is coming up, lead their front pages with pathetic headlines about doom and gloom when ever anyone es behind a tree.

The AFL on the other hand has a glorious run in the NSW and QLD media, not a peep about the bad stuff, just promotion promotion promotion.

If people want to earn a living on lies and deceit, that's their problem, just don't keep feeding us BS about 1 code and kicking everyone elses.

They don't have to. It all depends on the publisher/editor and the deal on the table.

Quote: eels fan "And secondly, ch9 do not have the rights to AFL, yet in the last 3 years, they have had some pretty pathetic stories about AFL taking over Sydney and Brisbane, and also how it's expanding around the world on their flagship current affairs show called 60 minutes.'"

Maybe...but this isn't about positive spin...it's about sweeping bad news under the carpet.

Quote: eels fan "I know a heap of people who emailed that pathetic mob after their hatchet job on RL and not 1 letter was read out, only the letters glorifying the fumble code, the media loving stinks.'"

...still not sweeping bad news stories under the carpet is it....

Quote: eels fan "If your code needs to resort to this type of crap to get coverage, the sport ain't worth it imo.'"

Whilst I agree with your sentiment...no broom and no carpet still!

Quote: eels fan "When an NRL of lower grader does something stupid, the media are all over it and blaming the code, even places like Vic, SA and WA that don't give RL even an ounce of publicity in regards to scores, how the game is going or what is coming up, lead their front pages with pathetic headlines about doom and gloom when ever anyone es behind a tree.'"

Yep...it's a news story and they will cover it.

Quote: eels fan "The AFL on the other hand has a glorious run in the NSW and QLD media, not a peep about the bad stuff, just promotion promotion promotion.'"


Proves nothing...and I seriously doubt that there was no mention...at all....nada regarding any of the f&*k ups of AFL players.....as I said, the facebook thing got far more coverage here than the doggy sex thingy......in fact, the AFL story was news in NYC......my mate said it was newsworthy for 3 days there icon_biggrin.gif
Like it or not, the Media are the single most important method of communicating with the general population........but I repeat...show me the proof that they are being paid or the AFL are paying them to sweep stuff under the carpet.
You promised you would....don't leave me hanging,,,,,, icon_wink.gif

Quote: dally messenger "gutterfax exposed yet again as the forum idiot
sorry...but have I missed something along the thread? I was told I would be given proof that the AFL pay to bury stories......where is it?


Stop posting now.....you are looking more stupid by the second.
I asked for proof...you didn't deliver....you can't deliver, but your tiny minds will continue to dig you into
legendary idiot status if you don't stop.
You have lost.
I am not saying that you are actually stupid by the way.....you do know a lot about the game that we all love....but this one...you have lost.
Don't make me grind you into the dust because I am genuinely pleased eels fan is back....dally messenger was
a quivering wreck 2 weeks ago......and I was enjoying his Gridiron posts from last year, but I was worried for his state of mind

Please...any more stupid links about what people THINK might have happened...simple proof...or don't bother posting.

I repeat dally messenger....be quiet while the adults deal with this

Sorry....but yesterday I was promised a link to proof that the AFL was buying silence...sweeping bad stories under the carpet etc...... So far I have had supposition.......with your usual level of abuse that you use when you are wrong.

You have lost this debate.

Or should I say you have lost unless you can provide me with proof...documented, legally binding proof ........... the thoughts and comments of 2 NRL fans is hardly going to swing this result.

dally messenger...I too am happy eels fan is back, but for gods sake, just for once, admit you are wrong. You'll find it quite liberating

ill give you a little tip

i dont actually care what you think

i just find it funny winding you up and then seeing you post a page long response defending position which is clearly wrong

its not as if anybody reads these long replies, its just funny you spending so much time on them

anyway im going to ignore you for a bit as you no longer amuse me

as the RL season is upon us im actually interested in talking RL with people that know what they are talking about
