I do wonder if 3AW has ever aired a match from Manuka Oval that wasn’t a feed from 5AA or 6PR(e.g. sending their own team)? ---

3AW is also covering GWS v Sydney this afternoon. It does not normally broadcast matches not involving at least one Victorian team, unless it is crucial to finals chances of one or both teams. ---

I’d say it’s calling it from Adelaide too, unless all 3 (McInnes, Butler and Tredrea) are flying to Adelaide to call the game tomorrow. They very well could be. ---

It also makes sense for 3AW to take the Collingwood-Frematle match via 6PR, as the Magpies, Swans and Hawks are all on 56 points. The Geelong-Gold Coast match should also be covered, since a Gold Coast win gives Port Adelaide the 8 spot. ---

3AW have access to the Sunday 3.20pm game as part of their A package. Don’t see why they’d suddenly cover a Sunday 1.10pm game from Brisbane instead. ---

> [@Glennc](#): > > 3AW have access to the Sunday 3.20pm game as part of their A package. Don’t see why they’d suddenly cover a Sunday 1.10pm game from Brisbane instead. The game in Brisbane is meaningless. I see no reason for 3AW to cover it, when they have access to what will be a important match. ---

Hang on, you were the one asking whether 3AW would cover the “important” Lions v Eagles match, I said no, now you’re trying to make it sound like it was my idea when I informed you what game they would cover? ---

3AW will not broadcast Lions v Eagles on Sunday, according to the AFL website. It will cover Demons v GWS in full plus second half of St Kilda v North Melbourne. On Saturday, 3AW will broadcast Richmond v Western Bulldogs while other stations have Geelong v Gold Coast. ---

Should 3AW pull Tim Lane or Tony Leonard from the Richmond v Western Bulldogs match to the Sydney v. Hawthorn match? the later is more important in terms of the finals. ---
