Perth are going to be getting x3 games in a row on an upcoming Saturday soon and they’ll have 5 or 6 on FTA across that round, unbelievable, might even be this week
This round they get
•Thursday & Friday produced by 7
•Saturday Eagles game produced by Fox
•Saturday Freo game produced by Fox
•Saturday night game produced by 7
They don’t get the Sunday game produced by 7, so they get 5 FTA games
They get all of the Saturday games back to back to back from 10:30am to like 7-8pm with the last game on 7mate.

6 for SA, QLD, NSW in round 7 (Anzac day)

shouldn’t it be 5? ANZAC Eve & Day, Friday Night (port game), Saturday Crows game & Saturday night game?
VIC should get 4 with ANZAC Eve & Day, Friday Night & Saturday Night
WA should get 5 with ANZAC Eve & Day, Friday Night & Saturday Night (Freo game) & Sunday Eagles game
NSW & QLD getting 6 makes sense, the 4 games produced by 7 + their local teams
There are 5 Channel 7 produced games for Anzac rounds. That’s why some states are getting 6 as they can get one extra game if interstate team is a Fox game. They never get 2 extra games. If interstate teams are both Fox produced, that state will have 1 channel 7 game not televised (Fox/Kayo only)

So for Round 7 (Anzac Round?), there are FIVE games shown nationally on either 7 or 7Mate, according to the AFL broadcast guide:
- Wed Nite - RIC V MEL - Ch7 (Vic, SA) / 7Mate (WA, QLD, NSW)
- Thu Arvo - ESS V COL - Ch7 (Vic, SA, WA, QLD, NSW)
- Thu Nite - GWS V BRI - Ch7 (Vic, SA, QLD, NSW) / 7Mate (WA)
- Fri Nite - PAP V StK - Ch7 (Vic, SA) / 7Mate (WA, QLD, NSW)
- Sat Arvo - NMK V ADE - Ch7 (SA only)
- Sat Twlt - GEE V CAR
- Sat Nite - FRE V WBD - Ch7 (Vic, SA) / 7Mate (WA, QLD, NSW)
- Sun Arvo - GCS V WCE - Ch7 (WA) / 7Mate (QLD)
- Sun Twlt - HAW V SYD - Ch7 (NSW only)
Usually it’d be only two or three due to overlapping Saturday night and/or Sunday games.

North vs Adelaide is on a 165 minute delay on 7 in Adelaide
I didn’t think 7 was doing both Thursday games (similar to how they are only doing 1 Friday game this week) Thought it was just the ANZAC MCG game.
Where did you find that info? AFL website only says whether it’s on a TV or radio channel, not whether it’s live or not.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll go get my eyes checked…

Especially following the fallout a couple of years ago at the MCG (think it was Fox Footy from memory for a marquee match but didn’t have host rights that game) but the desk set-up was in the upper stands took out the official disability zone and two prominent wheelchair patrons who happened to be on social media called them out, went viral, reported in media and the AFL changed the policy for broadcasters from then.
Only now allowed inside a ground’s TV studio or on the ground itsself (like Seven now do), no more up in the stands.

The area where Seven have set up is next to the ‘away’ team entrance, which leads to the underground level. Given they have to move the desk, lights, and cameras of the oval quickly, is probably the best area.
