I'll continue - you're right, of course. I remember when they fixtured in Friday night after Friday night after Friday night with Carltoon playing bloody awful football - every week it was like watching someone have their warts burnt off. It was so bad a large proportion of the footy television audience switched over to league rugby (which is like watching your grandmother getting mugged). You would only hear about these great battles going on in SA or somewhere else on the weekend. Let's face it, even the Queen's Birthday or the Dreamtime games were yawners most of the time - what made it worse was Freo being stuck in a RoLy-ball noose that made going to the football worse than being stuck in the box at divorce court.
Then along came covid and they were forced to put more thinking into the broadcast schedule. Well, hallelujah.
