    No footy televised in Queensland or Victoria (I have been informed) WTF????

    Don’t take the rights if you cannot deliver. Let the ABC or SBS serve the people: as they have with soccer and other sports.

    AFL footballing public not interested in the VFL perhaps or sack/reawaken the programme director: hmmm, marketing decision perhaps!

    Sidenote – Sheffield Shield cricket is no longer broadcast and look at state of Australian Cricket…..second string and grass roots, do matter; in all codes.

    If it is about money, think really hard about the long term future and viability NOT grubbing some cash today.
