There will almost certainly be 11 fewer AFL games broadcast on free-to-air television in 2017.On Thursday, AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan conceded Channel 10 appears unlikely to take up an option to return to the sport it broadcast for 10 years between 2002 and 2011.As part of the $2.5 billion, six-year television broadcast deal the AFL agreed with Channel Seven and Foxtel last year, the pay-TV provider was given the option to onsell an 11-game package - with those matches in the late Saturday afternoon time slot - to a free-to-air network.That network was thought to be Channel 10, but McLachlan told reporters that now appears unlikely.Thats my understanding. I dont have a documented basis for saying it but it looks like Channel 10 wont be taking up that option next year, McLachlan said.So that would be 11 games less on free-to-air than 2016.There was an option there for a free-to-air broadcaster and we thought it was more likely than not (to happen) - it hasnt turned out to be (the case).Channel 10 recently posted a $156.8 million annual loss, but will have the same 11-game option available in 2018.McLachlan denied free-to-air viewers were slowly being denied access to more games with the signing of each new broadcast deal.In 2018 we might have 11 (free-to-air) games more than in 2016, he said.This is a one-year arrangement, Im not guaranteeing it, but the provision is in place.The broadcasting landscape, I think everyone understands, is moving very quickly ... I dont think you should take a lead for 2018 from whats happening in 2017. Authentic Bengals Jerseys .

Bengals Official Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla.Louis van Gaal says expectation among Manchester United fans is too high after a disappointing campaign ended in a fifth-place finish. United rounded off the season with a 3-1 win over Bournemouth at Old Trafford in their rearranged fixture from Sunday, with goals from Wayne Rooney, Marcus Rashford and Ashley Young.There were boos for Van Gaal as he addressed the fans after the full-time whistle to thank them for their unconditional support, but the Dutchman told Sky Sports the supporters demand too much. Van Gaal received a mixed reception when addressing the crowd Van Gaal, whose side face Crystal Palace on Saturday in the FA Cup final, said: Of course (I understand the boos), because I have also said that the expectation is very high, especially the fans.They are expecting a lot. But I think these expectations are much too high, and we are a team in transition, and that I have said when I started here.Maybe I have to bring over the message much clearer than I have done. Wayne Rooney scored in Manchester Uniteds 3-1 win over Bournemouth United have been criticised heavily for their performances this season, having dropped out of the Champions League group stages in December and the Europa League to Liverpool at the round of 16 stage.Van Gaal says that while a lack of goals has been a problem, the big issue was the injuries his side had to deal with in defence during the winter. Marcus Rashford celebrates his goal at Old Trafford He said: More or less, that is the issue (lack of goals), but I think the issue is the amount of injuries in the months of November and December, and also that it was particularly in two positions, the two full-back positions.dddddddddddd That was very tough I think at that time.I have also said this season that we need creative, fast attackers. We have to take care of that, but nevertheless, when everybody was fit we were first in the league, and these are the facts.You can never see into the future, you can only analyse and evaluate the past, that is what we have to do and we will make up our minds. Watch the moment Wayne Rooney scored his 100th Premier League goal at Old Trafford to give Manchester United the lead in their 3-1 win against Bournemouth While Van Gaals position has been the subject of speculation throughout the season he was affirmative when asked if he expected to stay with United.Yes, Van Gaal said. Because I have signed a three-year contract.And the former Ajax, Barcelona and Netherlands boss is confident United can challenge for the title next year after Leicesters transformation from battling relegation in 2015 to winning their first ever title this season.He said: That is always possible because Leicester City was more or less a relegation team. We were fourth and fifth. Normally we are closer. Also See: Man Utd 3-1 Bournemouth Quinn expects LVG exit When will Uniteds season start?
