It’s a copy and paste mistake when Triple M put the guide together.
Obviously Perth will get the Collingwood v West Coast match because it has a different list of commentators to the ones listed for Geelong v Sydney.

Fairly certainly they are contractually obligated to air every Eagles and Dockers match.

ABC Radio’s commentary team for Geelong v Sydney: Ian Cohen, Andrew Mayes, Cameron Ling and Marnie Vinall.
All afternoon during North Melbourne v Gold Coast, Matt Clinch mentioned the ABC’s coverage of Collingwood v West Coast but neglected Cats v Swans.

Been repeated big time this week. They’ve gone and put the Perth based call team in the slots for both Sunday Night and Monday for games played at the MCG…

Triple M and ABC are calling North Melbourne v Fremantle off the tube from Melbourne. Since the match is played in Bunbury both stations could have had some personnel travelling from Perth to the ground, it would just mean smaller teams for West Coast v Port Adelaide tonight.
3AW is also calling the match from Melbourne.
I think 6PR and SEN are the only stations using their local calling teams.

Bring back the SportsEars for AFL…
Yeah but there’s only a limited number of spaces at the ground, meaning it may not have been possible anyway.
SEN Fanatic will broadcast the 1pm AEST match (Richmond v Brisbane) in full, before joining St Kilda v GWS in progress at 4pm AEST. SEN Fanatic is the only station on the SEN network where you can hear Tigers v Lions live, it is not even heard on SEN stations in Queensland. SENTrack in regional Victoria will take St Kilda v GWS in full.
Triple M Brisbane will broadcast Tigers v Lions on DAB+ while Triple M in Sydney (DAB+), Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth will get Saints v Giants.
ABC AFL Extra and News Radio in ACT and NSW will have full commentary of Saints v Giants from 3pm AEST. Other stations will join at 4.05pm AEST following Tigers v Lions.
Both matches of course can be heard in full on the AFL website and app.

Similar to Round 6, there will be two matches in Melbourne on the Sunday afternoon of Round 15. Triple M will broadcast St Kilda v Western Bulldogs (3.15pm AEST start) on FM radio, LiSTNR app, AFL website and app, while the 1.10pm AEST game between Richmond and North Melbourne is only available on LiSTNR app as well as AFL website and app.
ABC Radio coverage for this Sunday
Triple M are not doing a call of today’s Richmond v NM game, there’s nothing on LiSTNR or the AFL app.
Won’t this be a breach of Triple M’s broadcast deal with the AFL? Triple M had said that it would cover each and every game live.
Thursday’s big game between Lions and Swans will have limited radio coverage in Brisbane and Sydney. Lions Radio commentary will be broadcast on SEN Fanatic and SENTrack Brisbane, but Sydney will miss out altogether. ABC’s call will only be heard in both cities on News Radio. Triple M’s coverage is on DAB+ in both Sydney and Brisbane.
Tonight’s Geelong v Brisbane match will also be broadcast live on SEN 1170 Sydney, SENQ Brisbane and SEN Gold Coast, due to the stations not taking the NRLW season opener.
ABC Radio is calling Saturday’s GWS v Fremantle (played in Canberra) off the tube from Perth studio, although it has Canberra breakfast producer and Grandstand ACT casual presenter Grace O’Dea on the ground as boundary reporter.
Tonight’s top of the table clash between Fremantle and Sydney will be broadcast on SEN 1170 Sydney as well as SENQ Brisbane and SEN Gold Coast, as the stations are not taking NRLW. The match will also be heard on Triple M FM in Sydney from 8pm AEST.
On Sunday, Triple M Perth will have full coverage of Western Bulldogs v West Coast and Brisbane v Essendon (the latter also broadcast on DAB+ in Brisbane.
