No Saturday arvo footy

[Mike_B]

The reason that Ch 10 haven't shown a Sat Arvo game last round or this one is that the broadcast contract allows them to show 2 games per round.

Last round they chose the Carl-Bris game on the Sat night and then Melb-Coll on Long Weekend Mon.

For this round they decided (and this decision was likely made when the draw was released or soon after) to show the Rich-Adel game this Sat night and the Swans game next Sat. I am guessing here, but would suggest that FTA in Perth would get the Eagles game (using the Fox Footy feed) and not the Rich-Adel game.

I actually had a mate come over for lunch today with the plan being to then watch the Demons v Weagles game on Ch 10. Boy were we pissed off when at about 2.35pm we realised that it was only being shown on Foxtell (I didnt have a TV guide).
