Herald Sun is suggesting that the E.J. Whitten Legends Game will be held outside Victoria for the first time this year, with the charity match to be played at Adelaide Oval during the pre-finals bye in early September.

And that’s the norm!!! In Perth on Friday and Saturday nights
Well adelaide is the home of footy
It’s been played in Adelaide once before in 1999 at the Adelaide Oval… But what the heck, it’s the Herald Sun, they not exactly know for accuracy.

Not a bad idea.
If they say that though then it won’t generate the outrage they’re trying to get. At least it might clear some of the heat from the supermarkets and the bag whinging.

Nigel Carmody and Brian Taylor calling today’s Essendon-Collingwood game, with Hamish McLachlan taking the day off.
Is this the first time he’s ever called an AFL game for Seven?
With Tim Lane joining Seven’s cricket coverage, wonder whether that means he’ll also become part of their AFL coverage from next year?
No, Nigel Carmody called a couple of AFL matches during the Commonwealth Games period in April.

But wasn’t that during Saturday Night Footy when the games were On?
Which ones??
He’s called AFLW for 7, no AFL.
