  1. Channel 7 you are an absolute joke!
    Why Perth, Sydney & Brisbane have games on 7mate in SD when this is meant to be in HD? Regional Viewers in NSW, QLD & WA have games in HD.

  2. so 7 will have to switch HD to mate cause the AFL contract stated it be shown in HD and 7 Sydney wont show it on the main ch , it also means any shows you enjoyed watching in HD on 7 will now be SD . way to lose viewers 7 seriously its a joke if this is allowed to keep happening

  3. David , when does 7 mateHD start again , so I can set up the recording , um , David is their any reason 7 , can just swap the content to 7HD , just for the foot ball , when it’s on, they switch the tennis back and forwards , why not the football ???

      1. Thanks for trying , I find it hard to keep up with the programs on , 7/72/7mate and 7flix , for eg, Scandel, we seen half of season 4/5 on flix , now we have gone back to season 3 on 7 this week

      1. I’ve enjoyed watching the women and its been great seeing them improve week by week. I hope they get bigger and better next year and they actually implement a finals system.

        You can’t compare the inaugural year of AFLW to AFL that I’ve been watching for years and its ok for me to look forward to it and that doesn’t diminish anything about the women’s competition.
