Games are on 7mate
Brownlow Medal has been moved to September 18
What was the original date?
19 I believe
EPG not updated but in Melbourne on 7mate:
1.00 VFL Finals: Casey Demons v Brisbane Lions
4.00 AFLW: Geelong v Collingwood
Even Perth viewers will have the AFLW on 7Flix
I think this will be the first time we see an AFLW on 7Flix.
There also showing this up here in Brisbane.
AFLW on 7/7mate (VIC)
Friday:
North vs Cats (7mate)
Saturday:
Freo vs Blues (7mate)
Freo vs Freo?!
Confirmation of next week’s preliminary finals:
Sunday Bombers v Tigers
I think it’s Pies vs Crows because of the VFL Grand Final being Sunday afternoon
Correct. Bombers v Tigers is Fox Footy only
Ah ok. Didn’t realise the VFL GF started at 2:30pm
The 12:50pm start time allows the Seven Network to broadcast the 2022 Smithy’s VFL Grand Final live on its main channel in Victoria and avoids any clashes with the Charles Brownlow Medal event that evening.
In case the VFL GF may go into extra time?
If there is no extra time, then the VFL GF telecast will finish at 4pm AEST, allowing Seven Melbourne to show the AFLW match between Melbourne and Brisbane leading into the 6pm news.
What, 7 hours later?
3 after off air.
There’s also an AFLW game and the news to get to air too
This means that 7 might broadcast a later AFLW match. Dees vs Lions (4:10pm VIC) instead of their original match which was Pies vs Crows (12:10pm VIC)
According to online guides, the early start to the VFL Grand Final means Seven won’t show any AFLW matches this Sunday in Victoria.
7mate will air two AFLW matches in Victoria this weekend.
Friday: North Melbourne v Geelong (5pm)
Saturday: Fremantle v Carlton (2pm)
