And there's some great fan sites doing fabulous things as we know.

Yep.

Ben on Facebook.

Why would the AFL... I think it's a question for a version of me.

Yeah, well, it doesn't work that way.

Here's why.

There's 10 weeks of holdback.

games which we've talked about so they can't play them on a saturday on free to air because there's 10 weeks there's 10 weeks of hold back on the delayed games for foxtel so your only option on the big stuff is to play it as a double header in the first two you're going to play two showdowns a year you're talking about the fixture being known as to which teams have been playing in the last 10 rounds of the season actually but but not the when and sorry not the when

Well, if you were going to play two games of Adelaide and Port a year, to use that as an example, which you do, then by mathematics, one of those is going to be in the first 10 rounds of the season.

And if you're going to play in the first 10 rounds of the season, you've only got two options, a Friday night or a Sunday.

Now, the argument is, is it going to hold a national Friday night audience on its own?

Or Swansea Giants is probably a better example.

Is that Friday night on its own worthy?

Some would say no.

Or does it plug in to be the second game?

And the numbers are supporting.

It's an unintended consequence of the Foxtel deal, but the numbers are saying it's working for the broadcaster anyway, perhaps fortuitously.

What's working?

Oh, the Sunday night, I think.

Sunday night, yeah.
