AFL Sydney will again feature heavily on our screen in 2012, not though our television screens rather our ROUND 1 RESULTS computer screens following a decision to live stream the match of the week. The decision was brought about following the change in the AFL broadcast rights which meant we no longer had access to Friday Sydney Swans 14.16-100 def. GWS Giants 5.7-37 Night Football through Pay TV. This new arrangement will enable more people to view the game, either live or at the time of their choice. FIXTURES In addition to this the clubs will have better opportunities to not only promote themselves but also their sponsors. A big representative program has also been included in 2012 with the senior side taking on the might of ROUND 1 ROUND 2 Victorian Amateurs, whilst the Development side will take on the Farrer FL. These games will be part of a Thursday 29th March Thursday 5th April huge representative program at Blacktown International Sports Park on June 9. Richmond vs Carlton @ MCG Brisbane vs Carlton @ GABBA AFL Sydney players will also have the opportunity to earn a state jumper, with the Landmark Australian Friday 30th March Saturday 7th April Country Carnival being held in Wagga Wagga on July 19-22.
