“We are committed to bringing football to communities right across Australia, and Western Australia was the next logical market to enter with such an avid footy following,” said Giannopoulos. “We couldn’t be happier that we are unashamedly bringing West Australian footy to the community.”

The show is the latest content offering from Crocmedia into Western Australia, which includes radio shows Sportsday, The Locker Room, Off the Bench as well as Off the Bench TV, and live broadcast of AFL each weekend through regional Western Australia.
