I was all excited for match of the round on foxtel tonight... pressed the 'i' (information button for the program) and it was no surprise it was the reply of our game. There was a nice little blurb about the game. Would be first time ive seen anything since seeing it live Friday. 8:00pm start... had the old foxtel reminder set, vcr was ready... .... on comes hawthorn v sydney.

Shattered!

You have got to be kidding? I already have the tape but if Foxtel think that Hawthorn vs Sydney was match of the round then the people who make that decision should be fired immediately.

I noticed the same thing even talked the missus into letting me watch it for a 5th time and bang on comes the WORST game of the round.

Think that had them confused!!!!

They only show the Foxtel games I've not seen one game that has been shown as match of the round even last week Richmond vs Brisbane now cmon wow it was a draw but honestly skills were crap and shithouse game compared to Sydney vs Essendon.

sorry to hear about that too.

Well, I have a similar problem,

The website I use to watch game replayes cut off the final 10 minutes

They must have been using the Sydney Foxtel feed because there was a boxing match that ran over, which threw everything out.

easily the worst game of the round. i was there. my gf's first hawks game of the year and she was so disappointed by their play (her first hawks game since 91 too).
and all after the ess v rich game too. she loved that one.

I was the same. After seeing it was the Swans game and swearing at the TV I just popped the DVD on and watched the 2nd half.

Foxtel's 'Match of the Round' is not an objective analysis of which match was actually the best of the round, it is just a title they give one of their games each week.

I was watching the Hawthorn v Sydney game live on Fox on Saturday and Dwayne Russell opened the telecast by saying ' Welcome to the AFL Match of the Round'.

For anyone who watches the Fox Sports News, Foxtel are so bias towards anything Sydney.

My heart bleeds for you all - not many replays on AL Jazeera

Foxtel is based in North Ryde, Sydney.

Kind of related, I saw the Fish walking down George Street Sydney after he had been on that lame show 'The Back Page'(seriously they talk so much crap).

Didn't have time to say hello, but he must have notice my jaw drop.

One of the best sports shows going... It is only crap when they have that stupid troll Tracey Holmes on. She is seriously an embarrassment to all women in sports reporting has not got a f****** clue!!!

That said, given the goings on today at puntroadend, wouldn't expect it to be around for long.

As long as it stays underground so to speak it should be all cool. Then again, they are probably looking at this right now.

Might be worth turning "latest news and information" into a members only section, or is that too paranoid?

True, they even have their own version of Denis and Bruce

Ahmad: Ach, that knife incision was centimetre prefect

Ahmad: Gee Abduallah, that's speeeeeciaalllll

Spoke too soon.

Some clown on Bigfooty has posted the link and the AFL shut it all down. Just a lesson to be learnt I guess.
