MMM has their Sydney based team doing it, nothing wrong with that either. I’d guess Corbin Middlemas does it for ABC? ---

SEN’s site lists them airing the Geelong match. So should Gerard Whateley and Peter Donegan be at the Geelong match instead of the MCG match? edit; it’s Jack Heverin and Kevin Bartlett doing that match, which makes sense. ---

It’s quite strange, because Gerard has done every game down in Geelong this year for SEN/Croc. ---

Didn’t do rounds 4, 6, 10 or 18. So Whateley has done 5 of the 9 Kardinia Park matches. ---

I dare say it’s in his contract. He also hasn’t done more than 2 games a week regularly either (not saying he hasn’t done 3, but it’s not every week). ---

> [@JohnsonTV](#): > > The proposed merger between Nine and Fairfax Media (which part owns Macquarie Radio) will cause big changes to the latter’s coverage of AFL matches. For a start, Nine will be able to use The Age and 3AW to promote its AFL shows like The Footy Show and Footy Classified (The Age columnist Caroline Wilson is a panellist on FC while her on-screen colleague Chris Judd writes a weekly column on The Age). It could also put some members of 3AW commentary team in a difficult situation. Chief commentator Tim Lane will call test matches for Seven this summer while special comments men Cameron Ling and Matthew Richardson also work for Seven during the AFL season. Under this merger, will these three men be forced to choose to stay at one or the other? If Tim Lane leaves 3AW, i’d guess either Shane McInnes or Matt Granland would be promoted to work with Tony Leonard. ---

Tim Lane apologised to 3AW listeners this afternoon, saying he and most of his commentary team was not able to fly to Sydney this morning on Qantas, due to last night’s storm in the city which led to several flights cancelled. Tim and his colleagues were bumped off their scheduled flight to accommodate for passengers affected by yesterday’s cancellation. Therefore, he and Tony Leonard would call this afternoon’s elimination final between the Swans and the Giants in the studio in front of the big screen. Leigh Matthews is already at the SCG. ---
