What initially looked to be a brilliant gesture backfired on the AFL on Saturday night as fans were left fuming that they couldn’t continue watching the Matildas at the MCG. The AFL revealed before Saturday night’s quarter-final at the Women’s World Cup that they would broadcast the Matildas’ clash with France on the big screens at the MCG, SCG and Optus Stadium before and after AFL games.
However there was uncertainty around what would happen at the MCG if the Matildas went to extra time, given the Melbourne Demons’ clash with Carlton was scheduled to kick-off at 7.30pm. Unfortunately we found out – and it didn’t go down well with fans.
