I was watching the live stream on the Telstra AFL app live pass, takes Seven Melbourne’s raw feed with ads, was also thinking it was my reception and opened/closed it a few times.

Strange that Seven in Victoria would show two interstate teams instead of two Victorian teams this Saturday night, usually if that happens Victorian viewers get the two Victorian team matches on free to air and the interstate team match is on Fox.
Dreadful crowd FX tonight. Too quiet during general play and long delay when someone scores.

Last week’s was widely praised, especially the commentary audio.
Brisbane Lions and West Coast Eagles are 2019 finalists? Either that or Fox requested an all-Melbourne team exclusive game?

I notice Seven utilised lots of behind the goal camera shots during tonight’s match. The camera shot at half forward flank was used less often.

Geelong v Carlton is on 504 (the main Fox Footy channel) and they’ve loaded up on their team.
100% they’ve requested this as compo for Ch7 getting 4 games this week

Official AFL broadcast guide confirms it is not a mistake.
Clicked on “Sydney metro” and all 3 games on Sunday only available on Foxtel, no FTA:

And surely some compensation too for losing all the lucrative Anzac Eve, Anzac Day, Easter Monday, Queens Birthday games?
They have so far, I’m not so sure they will every round.
Take away Anzac Eve, are they more lucrative (day time) than the extra Thursday night games on the schedule.
Anzac Day has been the highest rating home and away game for 25 years

Yes there has been no firm press release detailing this aspect of the revised deal.
Is it still 7 (3.5 games) Fox (5.5 games)
Rounds 6 and 7 are due to be released next week.
Has Seven ever carried a Anzac Day double header?
They should have this year, Collingwood v Essendon then Port v Bulldogs.

Yes, when Anzac Day was on a Friday.

The ebroadcast/OnTVTonight online guide is showing something weird, it says in Sydney tonight both the main channel and 7mate are both airing the same movies, with AFL gone? Yet still showing no AFL tomorrow. But when you select a regional NSW market the AFL is still showing tonight on 7mate. So I think this is an error?
