I think the state leagues are done by Gravity Media’s trucks IIRC.
AFL (and probably AFLW) are done using NEP trucks.

AFLW is with Gravity Media and JAM TV (at least it was last year).

Well then I guess they couldn’t send two HD trucks to Perth.

Tonight is the normal FNF panel with Brown, Buckley and Lewis, plus Ricciuto on the boundary and Ralph in the newsroom with Kath Loughnan hosting. Having been based out of Perth this season, she has made the trip to Adelaide on multiple occasions to partner with Mark Ricciuto at AO. Based on the fact she wasn’t on the QF last Thurs, its seemingly more likely Garry pulling out than Kath being rewarded for her performances or her easier location.
Saturday night is the full TNF team with Alastair Lynch on the boundary and Zita in the newsroom.

Yeah, Garry was in the promos for tonight’s match earlier in the week, so I’m certain he’s a late scratching.

Am I right be thinking Fox Sports still cannot do their own coverage during tonight’s play (callers, graphics, etc)?

Yes - new deal doesn’t begin until next year, so they must still carry the Seven graphics and callers.

Garry is crook. Missed Wednesday and Thursday on SEN as well.

Yeah…
Fox Footy hosts once again managed to shut up for Never Tear Us Apart - hopefully they continue this.

How did Foxtel get these rights again? Could’ve sworn I remember watching on FTA many years ago?

Have been with Fox since 2012. I can remember them on Seven in 2011 with the old rights deal (Seven/10 and Fox)

Kelly Underwood called this one
Adam Papalia over from Perth
Also AFLW at 7pm on 503, and at 4pm there’s a Betts v Houli inclusion match on 507. Is this the first AFL game on 507 (not as Fox W)?

WDYM again? They’ve had them for ages.
Also to note no “Longest Kick” today.
Construction work across the Yarra is the reason, yet Fox haven’t announced it which is rough given it’s the only reason worth watching their coverage on the day.

Was 5 in the end, apologies. Looks like it’s livestream quality, unsure why it’s not on Kayo only.
Ben Waterworth calling solo. “on Foxtel and Kayo”, not a “Fox Footy” production.
