Free-to-Air Game Selection
Surely in a round with no Sunday games, Nine should wait until Saturday night to select which game to air? It's only a matter of getting the footage from Fox anyway, it's not like they have to bother with actually producing the game or anything, and it would avoid things like this round, where by far the worst game is the one going out to the biggest audience.
Illawarra/Perth, New Zealand/Perth or Cairns/Melbourne should've been picked instead. And frankly, New Zealand/Perth should've been picked anyway if they were planning in advance and actually trying to pick out the best game, instead of just re-airing whatever was on the night before.
It's already delayed enough that nobody's going to be putting too much effort into avoiding the result. Why not air the best game possible?
