NAB Challenge Live 2015
Fremantle travel to Sydney’s Drummoyne Oval to take on the Swans in the NAB Challenge on Sunday 15 March.
The match is not being broadcasted on television but will be live streamed via the club website.
Croc Media and 6PR will be providing radio commentary.
AFL general manger of broadcasting, scheduling and major projects Simon Lethlean said the decision to live stream non-televised matches was made following significant work with AFL Media.
“We’ve listened to the concerns of those supporters who don’t want to miss a minute of their club competing in this year’s NAB Challenge which is why we’re pleased to have overcome a number of significant hurdles to ensure every fan has the opportunity to watch their team compete in every NAB Challenge match,” Lethlean said.
“This year we have worked with our broadcast partner Fox Footy to expand NAB Challenge live coverage from 18 to 21 games and we have also increased the number of NAB Challenge matches played in regional and suburban communities around Australia.
“As a result we have encountered some significant logistical, technical and signal delivery issues at some venues but through a great deal of work with AFL Media we’ve been able to repurpose resources originally slated to produce match highlights to provide live streaming from those venues for the respective club websites and apps.”
It will be the first time both teams have played each other since last year’s Qualifying Final, where the Swans ran out 24-point winners.
Fremantle’s first NAB Challenge hit-out of 2015 was a solid display to defeat Melbourne by 18 points at Fremantle Oval.
Freo started with Tanner Smith and Connor Blakely as the two subs, with the latter coming on very late and managing just the one touch.
It will be interesting to see whether coach Ross Lyon opts to give the youngster more game time against Sydney following an impressive practice match hit-out with Peel Thunder last week.
In that game, Blakely and fellow new recruit Lachie Weller combined for 51 disposals between them.
Sydney lost its opening NAB Challenge by 36 points against a new-look Brisbane Lions outfit.
The Swans’ impressive midfield of Kieran Jack, Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker were among their best, so they will need some close attention this Sunday.
