Eagles Naitanui Shakes His Tailfeather

by janetl — Thu, 2009-07-02 08:26 — Last Updated: Thu, 2009-07-02 08:55

Gale force winds and teeming rain made for challenging conditions in the Round 13 encounter between the West Coast Eagles and reigning Premiers Hawthorn. It may have been an unlikely stage for individual brilliance, but the rugged weather was not enough to stop Nic Naitanui from showing the special brand of football magic that caught the eye of West Coast Eagles recruiters and saw him taken at number two in the 2008 AFL Draft. read more »

Setanta UK Enters Administration Setanta US and Can OK For Now

by admincms — Tue, 2009-06-23 14:20 — Last Updated: Thu, 2009-06-25 22:06

(See our earlier posts on this developing story: Setanta Faces Receivership Within Hours and Setanta's Circumstances Worsen and Setanta Looks For Survival Formula. Be sure to read the comments for all posts as they contain additional information. Update: 24-June: statement by AFL added. Update: 25 June: further info from Setanta and the AFL for North American and UK fans added in comments; click on read more.)

It was announced today (23 June) that Deloitte has assumed administration of the UK operations of Setanta. Setanta's channel in Great Britain has gone off the air. Setanta UK will be shut down and viewers of the AFL in the UK will lose coverage as a result. For now, Setanta International is not part of the receivership proceedings and the US and Canadian channels will continue to operate. Deloitte has indicated it seek a buyer for Setanta's remaining operations including the US and Canadian channels. It appears that AFL will continue for an indefinite period in North America pending a sale and resolution. Today's events may impact the ability to get a live signal to the US via fiber optic cable as the London operations will be out of the "link". The loss of the UK operations may have other indirect impacts on the operations in Ireland and the US. read more »

Cats Wobbly Again

by rickb — Tue, 2009-06-23 07:07 — Last Updated: Tue, 2009-06-23 10:11

Rick Browner reporting for AFANA from Subiaco Oval

It is hard to believe that this time last year the struggling Fremantle Dockers produced one of the closest matches of the year against the big name Geelong Cats. Had it not been for a wayward shot on goal by Matthew Pavlich in the last seconds of the game (his shot hit the goal post on the siren) Fremantle would have snatched the surprise victory of the 2008 season. One year later the teams matched up again in similar circumstances. read more »

Setanta Faces Receivership Within Hours

by admincms — Sun, 2009-06-21 20:08 — Last Updated: Tue, 2009-06-23 09:37

(See our earlier stories and comments for more background on this story: Setanta's Circumstances Worsen and Setanta Looks For Survival Formula. Ed. Note: as of 23 June, Setanta remains on the air for now. See the comments for a public statement from Setanta.)

On Friday 19 June, Setanta failed to make a required progress payment of £10 million (US$16.5 million ) to the English Premier League. Despite Setanta having reached agreements with most other rights holders and creditors, the EPL then invoked its legal option to reclaim the current broadcasting rights and thus crippled the UK channel. This almost certainly means the company will now enter administrative receivership Monday, UK time. Deloitte are expected to be named administrators. Previous potential "white knights" have all backed away. The fate of the US operations are unclear at this hour but it may not survive if the parent does not (barring a last minute sale). AFL broadcasts in the US and Canada may end at any time.

The story is extensively covered in the Financial Times, the BBC, Daily Mail Online, Examiner, Irish Times, Rapid TV News.

AFANA will be consulting with the AFL and seek ways to save US coverage however fans should now be prepared for the channel to suspend operations at any time and for AFL coverage to end. We hope it won't but hope is thin at this stage.

Cats in Close Call

by janetl — Tue, 2009-06-16 19:32 — Last Updated: Tue, 2009-06-16 20:40

Janet Linn reporting for AFANA from Subiaco Oval

All indications for the Round 11 West Coast versus Geelong match predicted that the Eagles would struggle to produce a half-respectable performance against the Cats' talented and so far unbeaten team. In past years, Subiaco Oval has been infamous as a hostile ground, difficult for interstate teams to conquer but this time, even with the home town advantage, the pundits were anticipating a thrashing for the Eagles. read more »

Setanta's Circumstances Worsen

by admincms — Tue, 2009-06-02 14:26 — Last Updated: Mon, 2009-06-15 17:57

(Update 4-June: Legal action looms closer: See the Daily Record and Evening Times and Scottish Sun and The Independent. Update 12-June and 15-June: see comments by clicking read more.)

The British newspaper the Guardian reported today that Setanta failed to make a scheduled progress payment to the Scottish Premier League (SPL). (See our earlier reports on Setanta's financial problems here.) It's not clear what impact this will have to on-going operations including those in the USA and Canada or for AFL coverage. At this time, programming seems to be continuing on all of their networks and AFL coverage does not appear to be affected. However, since this failure read more »

Tigers Snarl in Subiaco Thriller

by rickb — Tue, 2009-06-02 00:53 — Last Updated: Tue, 2009-06-02 13:16

Rick Browner reporting for AFANA from Subiaco Oval

When two AFL teams sitting near the bottom of the ladder are scheduled to meet, anticipation is not high for an exciting spectacle. The Round 10 match between the Fremantle Dockers and the Richmond Tigers was a special game for Terry Wallace. Wallace, the media-besieged Richmond coach, would complete his 500th game read more »
