Sydney play Port. Doubt that will get broadcast over our game which involves one Melbourne team obviously.

Yes, it's on "Channel 7" *

* Channel 7 is best watched with the mute button on.

According to the AFL website
St Kilda play Gold Coast at Docklands (sometime known as Marvel) and it will be broadcast on channel 7, Fox and Kayo.
7:30PM this Saturday

Yep, just double checked the TV guide.
The Syd v Pt Ade game is on channel 7 in Melbourne.

This is turning into a lightbulb joke.

It’s showing Sydney because people haven’t changed the location to Melbourne.

Let’s reverse engineer this:

Saints v GC game is playing on Fox Sports 503 and not 504 so it must be playing on 7.

It’s not on channel 7 in Melbourne. It’s not that hard.

Well, one is obviously a mistake. No reason to be snarky about it.

I saw the Channel 7 ad for their 4 games this weekend and we weren't a part of it.

Interesting. 7 usually telecast a game involving a Melbourne based club over a game involving two non Victorian teams. That doesn’t look like that’s happening this weekend.

I didn’t realise that the AFL app was showing the wrong information. They have two simultaneous games listed as being on Channel 7.
I also saw the TV ad last night saying it’s the Swans game.

Would be smart to screen Swans v Port in NSW & SA , Saints v Goldcoast in Vic & QLD but the AFL & 7 could not be accused of being smart. In their defence these decisions are probably worked out well in advance and Saints v Goldcoast would not have looked that exciting 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Port/Swans was the best one to telecast - our game was over in the third quarter. :D
