didn't chris dittmar do some pbp for seven?

In 2001 at least, he did call PBP for Seven. I think he only ever did PBP in South Australian based matches, mainly at least alongside Bruce McAvaney. I can't recall Chris Dittmar doing PBP any other years, there wouldn't have really been a spot for him when the likes of Morphett, Landy and McKenna were there.

Well I can't be certain about the rest of Australia, but I know Southern Cross in Tasmania telecast the Bombers-Power game live in full from 2pm, and South Australian viewers through Seven and regional stations would have got the game on delay considering the game was played at Football Park, but whether any of them got it in full, I don't know, probably not.
