I recall he was very versatile in being able to commentate on both AFL and NRL games equally well… not many can do that.

I think the end of DST has gone to FOX League’s head.
During the Matty Johns Show after the Storm v Roosters game, I saw a banner ad advertising tomorrow afternoon’s Rabbitohs vs Bulldogs game as “Friday Night Footy - Live from 3pm”.

It comes on from 3 pm and starts at 4 pm. And for whatever reason, I’m pretty sure they have always called this game a Friday “night game” for whatever reason probably because there’s a game straight after it.

There’s 2 hours between the two games.
2nd one isn’t until 8pm.

That gives them a 2-hour pre-game show to bang on about the game.

The NFL’s Thursday Night Football on Saturday evening has always made me laugh too.

Usually it’s a 6pm game, back to back, which would make sense for FNF - but Good Friday has always had an afternoon game instead.
Presumably it’s a sponsor thing given the virtual advertising for that game said the same thing, that they “have” to call it “KFC Friday Night Footy” regardless of whether it’s on at night 
.
Dragging a tad o/t: yeah, NBC certainly does it, Sunday Night Football on the two Thursday nights they do (as Opening Night and Thanksgiving are part of their package). I’m pretty sure ESPN has similar on occasion for MNF too.

Someone saying Flying Fox fast has to be very careful it doesn’t turn into a swear.
Sounds like a slogan for the US network.

New for Magic Round, staple of Fox Cricket.
I believe that means ultra slow motion?

Ah yes, thanks, that makes sense, I did wonder if it was related to the Ultra HD / 4K channel I was watching.
