Just watching the news on 10, and they just had a piece about what people in Melbourne could do over the next two weeks.
Not once was the VFL mentioned, and they are insistent that there will not be any 'real' footy in Melbourne for a fortnight.
Maybe the forum's VFL contact can get his bosses to point this anomaly out to the Ch10 execs.
Not even Steve Quarterbrain made mention of it.
Quarterbrain has his head so far up his bum he needs a barge pole to brush his teeth.
Sadly, it doesn't surprise me.
After all, this was the station which destroyed almost all of the tapes from the VFA games it telecast.
Agree, nothing ever said about VFL at all ,very poor summary on sports. CH 10 once were the backbone of sports and now do not recognise the top Aussie rules state football .
Who is in charge ?and as VFL supporters united we must all contact them and let them know we want a even coverage compaired to other sports.
Hopefully CH 7 will be a lot better next season.
go zebs
zebra :D
An ill informed comment.
Channel Ten actually had a story on the Liston Trophy in their news service on Tuesday night.
No, I would suggest it was because ghe was the Liston medallist. Full stop.
Why record that he kicked 97 in the home & away season when he only kicked 88.
He won the Frosty with 88.
But the fact remains that he kicked 100 for the season.
No idea. I didn't see it. :wink:
What a disgrace- Channel 10 for destroying a lot of the old VFA tapes.
Imagine watching games from yesteryear on tape.
You could make a DVD from all the bumps, brawls, king hits over the years and that would be the best seller.
There is a small sprinkling of tapes around which are rare.
Most Grand finals from 1st Divsion are around with the exception of 1968/69/70. I have never seen footage of these or know of anyone who has access to them.
Sides like Frankston (flag in 1978), Mordialloc (flag in 1977), Caulfield (flag in 73) and Sunshine (flag in 71). These VFA teams have won only one VFA flag yet there are no video footage around. That is disgraceful. Shame Channel 10 shame. Mordialloc had their team of the century yet did they have footage of their only flag ?
I believe Brian Mace lent someone the video of the 78 flag years ago and has not been returned.
Whoever has that tape that is priceless and should have a copy sent back to the club.
Some of those 2nd Division Grand Finals as well as the weekly match of the day would be priceless and have a cult following of people wanting to get their hands on them.
