Not sure. Maybe Sandy is calling the match for AFL Nation radio on the night so he is not available?

Thatâs interesting, my iQ 2 on-screen EPG says FoxFootyHD.
iQ3 (when logos are turned off) also says FoxFootyHD.
Gill?

I donât have Foxtel.
But managed to watch this afternoonâs Essendon vs. Carlton game at a mateâs place.
Gotta say, having two senior personalities doing a Saturday afternoon is good to see.
Sandy is still superb after all these decades, miss him at Seven!

Sandy and Eddie often call Saturday afternoon games together, but only if in Melbourne. Neither of them travel.

Of course Eddie McGuire wouldnât travel to call a game, he properly thinks places like Sydney or Adelaide are a foreign country or something 
IIRC he was Nineâs CEO, based in Sydney?

This afternoon I am looking forward to viewers posting on the FOX Footy Facebook page complaining why FOX Footy isnât showing the Grand Final live, it happens every year!, surely most people with Foxtel know that FOX doesnât have the rights to simulcast Sevenâs coverage live.

One of the great footy traditions.
That being said, Fox donât do themselves a favour by constantly saying that the game is coming up and not making enough of a deal that theyâre not showing the game. They have a countdown clock in the bottom right with âgame live inâŚâ just above it - so I can understand some confusion, though youâd think viewers would be more switched on!
