Does TV do AFL justice anymore??

Its not arrogant, its just the truth. If you can't get to the game fine. But you pay a price for doing so these days and thats missing out on most of the action.

Is it any wonder Brisbane fans are crying poor over the umps yesterday after watching it on TV but at the game most supporters both Melb and unbisased saw it the other way?

Its FREE to air. But its not FREES TV

Without replays, we'd miss half the game!

Without slow motions we'd miss half the game!

I don't understand how people can say that they'd sit there at a game and not watch the "action" instead they'd say they watched the running of other players, or shepards of other players, etc, etc

Can you say that you'd sit there paying attention to all 36 players (or just your 18)???

Don't get me wrong, being at a game is bloody fantastic, and I'd love to be able to do it more often, but there's really nothing wrong with watching it on telly (apart from ad breaks) - but then that's just enough time to fill back up again

Most of the times I've found that the focus is actually on around 5-6 guys, like when they're running up the guts, you'll see people sheparding for them, you'll see all the quick 1-2s, and all that.

Only on the odd occasions you'll see the closeups and that's when there's only 1-2 people in on the contests, etc.

I guess it's each to their own tho aye.
