Can't blame this one of the AFL though can you?
I presume they are going to televise Freo vs Geelong FTA instead on the Monday night?
They aren't showing the blockbuster tonight on FTA so being the standalone game doesn't guarantee you a FTA audience. Contracts and such I presume (f*n stoopid but there you have it).
I would wager that the casual/neutral supporter has far more interest in the Suns vs Dogs game than Freo vs Geelong.
This is a mistake as far as I'm concerned. If it's about nothing other than ratings then it's missing the mark, plus the short sighted nature of it. You want people taking the Gold Coast Suns seriously? Put them in prime time when they are in form. The AFL are half-pregnant on this one. Strange decision making.
Edit: unless it's the broadcaster. In which case it's ridiculous on their part.
