Fox Footy

10 and 9 had free to air rights during the first incarnation of Fox Footy (2002-06)

And Fox Footy Channel didn’t have rights to simulcast the Nine & Ten network games all over Australia.

[Glennc]

Exactly. I figured Luke had that bit figured out, so didn’t bother with it.

New Friday Night Footy on Fox set tonight. Was featured at the start and being used for the Fox Footy Lab

He really is a total boofhead.

'It can't be that hard can it?' Eddie McGuire mocks plane crash survivor...

Eddie McGuire has been caught red-faced after mocking double amputee Cynthia Banham’s coin toss before the Sydney Swans versus Adelaide AFL match on Friday night.

Banham, a former Sydney Morning Herald journalist who had both legs amputated after a plane crash in Indonesia in 2007, appeared to struggle as she tossed the coin while holding her walking stick.

“I think we should introduce a $5000 fine to anybody who’s tossing the coin and can’t do it properly,” begins a clearly oblivious McGuire.

“Every week, we have someone dropping it on their foot. Come on, toss it up properly, for goodness sake. Practise in the week, you know you’re going to do it. It can’t be that hard can it, guys?”

He apologized later.

Even if not intended (obviously, would be sacked immediately if otherwise), the guy clearly doesn’t use his head!? Wow

[Tom_TV7]

Seriously, who the F does he think he is to call someone like that?

Even the Seven commentators wouldn’t use such foul language.

[bacco007]

what will his excuse be this time - he’s already used tiredness

[Sully]

At least it’s not as bad as the racism gaffe.

[Haydos]

Eddie McGuire should be given a 1 Round suspension from Fox Footy a repeat offender.

[ShadowDan]

I take he’s following in Sam Newman’s footsteps with his disgusting comments…

What a massive bonehead.

McGuire has stepped aside from commentary duties for today’s Essendon v St Kilda game at Marvel.

AFL 2019, Eddie McGuire, comments, coin toss, Cynthia Banham, Fox Footy,...

[Super_SC]

Dwayne russell called the Essendon v St Kilda match today.

[Glennc]

He always was.
Fox had a 5 person team for that game before Ed removed himself.

Fox Footy will show the 2019 W Awards live from Melbourne Docklands at 8.30pm AEDT tonight, awarding some of the top players in AFLW this season, including AFLW best and fairest, mark of the year, goal of the year and NAB Rising Star. The 2019 All-Australian Team will also be revealed. It’s the second time the W Awards are shown on TV.

[Jeffmister]

Pretty sure Fox showed the W Awards last year too

[VictorianSun]

They did.

[JohnsonTV]

The W Awards will also be streamed live for free at the AFLW website from 8.30pm AEDT.

[VictorianSun]

this i beyond a joke. they advertise that the awards start at 8:30 however 90% of the awards have been presented and announced before it ‘begins’…

[JohnsonTV]

It takes a long time to reveal every member of the All-Australian Team, that’s why it is presented before the actual telecast.
