This is an ongoing debate between Hutchy and Damo on their Sounding Board podcast. Damo is dead against calling games off TV, Hutchy is ok with it. According to Hutchy, apparently "the talent" aren't keen to fly from Melbourne interstate to call games any more, because of the lost time in transit, time away from family, etc. e.g to fly to Perth they have to stay there for one or possibly two nights. Yes they used to do this pre COVID, but he reckons that COVID proved that games can be adequately called remotely on TV, so the commentators can't be arsed flying any more when they don't have to.
