Footy fans lash out in anger as they claim shocking Channel Seven stuff-up is ruining their grand final

Irate footy fans have lashed out on social media ahead of and during the first quarter of the AFL grand final, claiming the coverage on 7 Plus isn’t good enough.

Several supporters posted their displeasure on X, as the Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions chase premiership glory.

‘Can’t Channel 7 afford full HD (high definition) for the streaming of the game? 

‘It’s 2024, only now you can stream it and it’s still like we are in 2012 watching a pixelated mess,’ tweeted one.

Another posted: ‘Anyone else got issues with the 7Plus app? Seems other 7 channels work but not the footy ?

A third weighed in with: ‘The sooner the AFL grand final moves to Foxtel, the better. 

‘Coverage is so cringeworthy and embarrassing.’

A fourth was even more brutal, making their feelings well known on X.

Another supporter pleaded with Foxtel to secure the live AFL grand final coverage rights

A third asked follow users on X if they were experiencing any issues with the 7 Plus app

‘How many more years of this sh**show do we have to suffer before you upgrade?

‘You guys are pathetic.’

It comes as 100,000 plus fans converged on the MCG for the decider.

Pop star Katy Perry impressed the crowd after belting out a few of her classic tracks, while Cody Simpson displayed his prowess when singing the national anthem.

It comes just months after Simpson failed in his bold quest to represent Australia at the Olympic Games in the pool.
