AFL Coverage

He’s part of their commentary team on Sunday’s this season

That’s right Paul Roos is part of Triple M’s Commentary team on Sunday & is part of Fox Footy’s Saturday Commentary team.

How can 3AW, MMM and ABC all cover the Kangaroos-Gold Coast game,instead of the Dockers-Eagles game?

Because it involves a Victorian team and local fans will be more interested in the match than the WA derby.

AFL Nation commentary line-up for Round 6.

Yet the regionals get stuck with the derby… makes sense…

SEN are doing it, that’s enough.

ABC and Triple M regional stations have the north v suns match.

That doesn’t really help much when more than half the AFL Nation markets in Vic, SA and Tasmania can’t receive a Triple M station.

Fair enough, ABC?

ABC Radio Tasmania won’t be receiving a broadcast of Hawthorn v St Kilda at Launceston.

Doesn’t appear that any Tasmanian station will cover that match. How strange.

I gotta admit that the broadcast on seven this year has noticeably taken a ‘step-up’ and arguably it’s not just driven by what they do in the US.

A couple of weeks ago it was so great to watch BT walking around the dressing room post-game… as a fan… this puts us slap bang in with the players… (it must be mentioned Mark Taylor did a similar thing at the SCG at the cricket)…

And again tonight… BT, Duck and Richo out on the field pre-game and BT yells out to an umpire to do a bounce… and then he does a perfect one…

Who ever has come up with this idea to put viewers more in the game deserves a medal.

ABC should have not been covering the Swans-Blues game national. It should have been limited to NSW only.

Noticed ABC Radio’s AFL Broadcasting Rights Agreement isn’t on the AFL website where as all other TV, Radio & Digital Agreements are listed.

AFL Nation commentary line-up for Round 7:

Why is it that SEN never takes a game with Sandy Roberts calling? or Quartermain either?

Why is it that ABC takes a game with two Melbourne teams when they could take the interstate game instead?

ABC is broadcasting the North Melbourne-Adelaide match back into South Australia (also in Tasmania and WA). It will have a separate commentary team with Melbourne-based experts.

I guess ABC will send Peter Walsh or Matt Clinch over to Launceston to cover that game.

Doesn’t Sandy always do Friday nights and Q do Saturday afternoons?
If so, SEN send their own call teams (Fri- Hudson, Granland, Lyon, Frawley, Connolly and Sat-Granland, Bartlett, someone else I can’t remember) to those games.
