We have decided not to broadcast any games of VFL or TAC Cup games this weekend :( We will back again for the RND 6 Game Sandringham v Nth Ballarat The station has been approached by the Casey Council and Cranbourne FC to broadcast their home matches this season. The station is still in discussion with different parties This not effect our current VFL Coverage, and VFL will always have first right of choice of macth over the MPFL. Tune in on Saturday Morning from 9am for the VFL Football Show

Thats a shame but I guess with only five games being played and one of those being in Tasmania complicates things even more than normal for you. Enjoy the weekend off.

Must be referring to those matches on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday evenings of the month in the Council Chamber. I understand things get a bit willing at times, and there are even a couple of reports.

I'm confused as to the reason behind the decision not to broadcast. Given the way the station has been pumped up by supporters of this competition, to decide not broadcast on a weekend seems very strange. I'm also not sure what the Cranbourne issue is all about. Is there a commitment to the VFL or not? If there is, what does an approach by a 3rd division MPNFL side matter? Do we take from this that the station is still predominantly Casey-centric.

Why doesn't your club grant them access to a phone line so they can broadcast from your ground at some stage this season Dolphin?

I'm sure if they ask, they will be looked after as much as the club can. There's no issue.

Dolphin I dont know what to say. Frankston is run by an iron fist The reason we didnt broadcasr was that SEN were at Box Hill... We cant setup at every ground at call from. We are limited to only 5 or 6 grounds. Bryan Mace wouldnt even allow Sam Carpetner on our program after sending out media releases... The Cranbourne coverage wont effect the VFL coverage and we still call more games of football then the ABC and SEN. Its people like you Dolphin that makes covering the VFL so hard. We dont work with each other, everyone likes to bag and put down whatever. I think you should look at all angles before making your comments, I've read previous discussion boards what you have said about 3ser and you dont have a clue.

According to the VFL Record the Round 6 game is the Casey Scorpions game. Which one are you doing?

There is an issue - your club won't let them call games from your ground. Well I reckon you should take the post from "CaseyRadio" as having asked, so why don't you help them out? Once SEN move into covering AFL which appears inevitable, the only broadcaster the VFL will have are Casey Radio. The SANFL and WAFL both have multiple broadcasters, what sort of league will the VFL be if we have none? These people are interested in covering it so how about making their life a bit easier so that the coverage continues well into the future? When they give up because a few make it all too hard for them, it'll be a sad day. You never appreciate what you have until it's gone. And while talking about Caseyradio, congrats on the footy show yesterday morning - great to hear Brett Lovett, Mark Williams and Garry Hocking all interviewed in the hour. Best show you've done fellas so well done.
