SA Footy

TV guide says Norwood vs Glenelg on Sat and Port vs Sturt on Sunday.

Yes, they are doing 2 games each weekend later in the year as well.

I think it's Round 14,17 and 18

Interesting to note Queendland Rugby is going to have a match on Foxtel each week (on Wednesday nights) and streams all games live free.

I am surprised the SANFL did not try Foxtel. There are a lot of minor sports on there to use as fill in programs. I would like them to pursue maybe putting the MOTD on indigenous TV and perhaps getting Gov funding to cover production costs.

May be they could fund it by putting some SA tourism ad's on foxtel. Win for the Gov and Foxtel, they can use the money to off set production costs and fill time slots, especially on their fox footy channel.

If the Foxtel Cup didn't survive after a couple of years featuring aussie rules teams from all over the country I doubt they would be much interested in showing SANFL games who would only appeal to people in SA. For Foxtel QLD is a much larger market and I do believe a lot of rural QLDers have Foxtel too adding to the appeal. Also I'm pretty sure rugby out rates AFL on Foxtel too.

I think you're confusing Rugby and Rugby League mate.
