is there no game televised this week and I think last week was the same ?
nice work ch7 and the WAFC, good promotion for the WAFL leading into the finals !
Just heard that CH 7 will be covering both the Elim & Qual finals next week. The AFL pre-finals general bye means they can cover both rather than just the Elim final.
the WAFC had to come up with the money for the extra game tho.
and no game this week or last week ?
going well this deal.
I really don’t think we have too much to whinge about considering we get 18 live games a season on TV plus the WAFL show on-line…add to that press coverage in Saturday’s West and bits and pieces in the Sunday Times…I’m not sure what else could be done by various media outlets to push a second tier comp. You don’t get anything like that for the state soccer league or rugby, netball or grade cricket for that matter.
rubgy or grade cricket are not a relevant comparison as they are national sports as the national team is the 1st tier, their 2nd tier is the super 14’s and Shield cricket.
anyway, each to their own…cant wait till Bazza sees this topic..
I echo your thoughts fellas,but we got TOLD that news just before they buggered off to the Olympics. :sick:
While I agree it is a pity we could not have televised games each week and a pity we missed this two weeks running obviously having the Olynpics on and the AFL doesn’t leave a hell
Of a lot room in the schedule
Having both finals broadcast is a real positive
Overall I agree with BC the coverage WAFL gets is far greater than any second tier in the state to be honest it’s probably not completely condign with the level of interest amongst the general public in WAFL in 2016, and is somewhat more inline with legacy status than contemporary.
On a another positive WAFL is out rating SANFL Which is quite a remarkable achievement and something to build on.
Fairly obvious with Olympics, the 2nd tier comp would be one of the first booted in that period. Since moved to 7, have rarely watched a game, because never know what channel of 7 or what time, or sometimes what day
I’m happy with the fact that I have finally worked out how to get the computer and internet to run through the telly. Been away for a month but on return have been able to watch a reply via Ch7 of the Subi v Souths game. A bewdy too. I think they stay available for a month?
That is correct Mark. Too bad for those that watch the tv match. My views on this particular subject are well known.
Getting slightly off tack and abc radio have been very slack in recent weeks also. 
Not sure if they will cover a match tomorrow? Only had 1 match broadcast by abc radio in the last 5 weeks. Or 1 game in 6 weeks if no match covered this week!
Simply not bloody good enough!!!
What happens to them after a month,Singha?
Do they disappear off the face of the earth,only to be miraculously found,decades later?
That means,the SAFL problems are deeper than even Chris McDermott may gave thought.Attendances have been falling there as well,with ADELAIDE having their own side and Power literally consigning the Magpies to the Dustbin.South Australians don’t care about their SANFL as much as we give them credit for.
Where’s SA Matt when we need him?
SANFL might have its problems , but so do we grassy , if we can do better , then all good,
We do for sure,but it ain’t great with the Crows and Power intrudinto their competition.
FAR FROM IT!
Nah mate like the alignment has done damage. But where do we go from here ?
Kick all 4 Bastards OUT and point the Finger at 'Em to Piss Off to the VFL.
They are only here to do the AFL’s Dirty work and do a Hatchet Job on us!
Same with the Crows and Power.
2 Great State Competitions being DESTROYED on purpose by the AFL’s Agents of Destruction!
When will the General Public of WA and SA realise,their Clubs are working hand in hand with the AFL Executive(Victorians un their eyes)?

Sounds great, but then what do we do moneywise?
Did I read correctly there was only an audience of 16k for this weeks game for a supposedly big clash for 5th position and only 1500 at the game?
The WAFL comp is in more trouble than even I thought previously and desperately needs a strong SD & Perth ASAP!
That’s correct BH. 1530 is the exact attendance that has been displayed. The third lowest crowd figure out of the four fixtures.
Begs the question about whether that 51 000 figure was made up.
Was it Mario(D’Orazio)?
