You are completely missing the point. The afl do not get to arbitrarily decide what the broadcasters paying $420million a year show
How hard is this to grasp? Seriously?
Not missing the point, And it a JLT game,
The AFL missed the boat. Pure marketing it was a no brainer, National and some international exposure, better value to there naming rights sponsor of Marvel stadium.
It Ticks all the Boxes, doubleheader at Marvel Stadium on the same day as Captian Marvel worldwide release date which just happens to be International Women's Day. Instead, they attempted the same thing a day later with little fanfare.
They could have spoken to Foxtel and given them the same game on another night, Foxtel would not have stopped them in this case, the reason would be obvious to most people. more so in today's climate.
