Couldn’t get ABC or SEN or WARF to do it? Or even a community station? Piss poor form.
It’s also the Titans. No one cares about them. And as stated LiSTNR has got it wrong. They can do both, although why bother, it’s the Titans and if the Suns are doing well, you’d wanna jump on their rickety bandwagon. 
If any station did it, it would be a studio call.
Due to reconstruction/development of the grandstand area at Henson Park, there’s no commentary positions available at the ground.

Adjustment to Triple M tonight, it is Billy Brownless sitting alongside Joey for special comments.
WHY? Get ready for a game full of slop from one half of the back row.

Isn’t that par for the course for all MMM sports calls? AFL, league and otherwise?
They could’ve at least done that. Or made an effort to jury-rig a set up.
This is why I detest Hutchy and SEN and will rip into the ABC. At least one of them could’ve done the right thing and made an attempt.
WARF has an excuse - it’s a low budget operation. The other two don’t.
Kate McCarthy was ill.
Nothing wrong with comments Brownless every so often

I was at the game yesterday…and there was definitely space for a radio setup.
The scoreboard on the hill has a small room next to it, and they weren’t running the scoreboard that day. There was also some space in the grandstand, that was ready to go. Worse come to worse, they could’ve put a small container on the hill or on top of the change rooms on the grandstand side.
SEN and ABC were being friggin lazy.

What do we reckon? I think it’ll be Chad now he’s unemployed from Port, but if it is Kane, that’ll be one of the biggest moves in footy media ever.

Seems a bit anticlimactic for all that effort if it isn’t.
Happy to be proven otherwise.
I mean, like…
Following SEN, 3AW and 6PR now have sync commentary available.

More on the tweet that broke the AFL internet.
MMM will have to break the story themselves at midday tomorrow, I guess.

Well they broke it, and it’s the Chadwick. It seems to be a one time thing for the SANFL GF (Sturt v Glenelg) on Sunday.
Brenton Yates, Chad and Sam Jacobs to call

3AW will also broadcast Bulldogs v Lions AFLW match on Sunday.
Also, the Pies v Lions preliminary final on Saturday will be on ABC News Radio in Queensland, as Local Radio has NRLW and NRL finals commitments in the same period.
