Interesting consequence of an additional match in Sydney today.

Typical RoCo tweet. Curious to see if he responded to that cameraman in a more sensitive manner.

Giants Stadium has a few odd camera angles as well from memory (like the SCG)

[Aurora]

Don’t see a problem with the original. Simply that persons’ perspective.

(like the SCG)

Side on (ie the main shot) is terrible at the scg. Can’t really be improved with the position of the grandstands.

Doesn’t make sense. Ratings are as good as last year, plus Kayo which is often unreported but known to add as much as +50%.

[VictorianSun]

Yeah. I used to have Foxtel but got rid of it in favour of Kayo. I assume there are many more in the same situation as me.

[JohnsonTV]

Maybe Steve Crawley wants to shake up the team of experts at Fox Footy? Could he bring in more retired players and coaches?

[bacco007]

@JohnsonTV

Could he bring in more retired players and coaches?

Please no, we need less ex-players in football media not more

I like how the paper jumps to the conclusion that changes are coming, rather then thinking maybe he wants to see what works to see if it might work at Fox Sports’ other channels

[Jack_Nicholas1]

exactly and that headline is extremely misleading because this happens all the time across Fox and other media outlets that for example either the news director or the head of production/executive programmer like Steve will come in to just see how everything is performing from a production point of view and how everything is operating or going doesn’t necessarily mean Changes will be happening.

Fox Footy only doing 2 games this weekend.

Today’s commentary team for Fremantle vs Gold Coast:

Kelli Underwood, Adam Papalia, Jason Dunstall and Matthew Pavlich

[JohnsonTV]

According to Sunday Herald Sun, Kath Loughnan will fill in for Gerard Whateley on AFL360 this week.

[foxyrover]

Left field choice. Will be good to see how she goes with Drunko, sorry, Robbo.

[John.S]

It’s a shame that Kingy and Chief didn’t head down to Geelong for the game

[JohnsonTV]

The AFL this evening released the fixture for Round 18. It will include a rare twilight double on Saturday, July 17, with Melbourne v Hawthorn and Gold Coast v Western Bulldogs both starting at 4.35pm AEST. One match will be shown live on Fox Footy, the other on Fox Sports 503.

Suns v Bulldogs was given the twilight timeslot so that Bulldogs players and coaching staff can fly in and fly out on match day.

[VictorianSun]

That’s interesting considering the curfew at the airport. I’ve tried doing that to head up to the GC for a game fly in fly out but couldn’t get a flight that will get me back after the game. I would need to wait until the next day.
