‘Crying shame’: Tony Jones slams AFL’s move to put Saturday footy behind a paywall

On 3AW Mornings while discussing the Collingwood vs Geelong Saturday night clash with Tom Elliott, Tony Jones took aim at the AFL for locking Saturday games behind a paywall, making them exclusive to Foxtel and Kayo subscribers.

While Jones acknowledged that Foxtel offers a “superior” product, he emphasised the broader issue of accessibility, noting not everyone can afford the subscription services.

“It’s a crying shame that people are denied the opportunity to watch football on a Saturday,” Jones said.
