There aren’t two games in Melbourne. The Saturday night game is in Brisbane.
Dwayne Russell is going to Shanghai.

Yep, you’re telling me nothing I didn’t already know, not sure what I was thinking! I must have thought the Melb game was the Fox game (it’s not and it’s in Darwin and it’ll be good to have Adel back on 7 finally). I imagine they’ll use Kelli Underwood (well, that’s who I would use at any rate).
Derrwayne goes to China to cheerlead for the Power every year. Hopefully he stays there this year, that would be crazy good.

The AFL themselves announced this ages ago.

Actually Ben Waterworth is another option. He works at Fox Footy as a journalist and is a Fox AFLW commentator.
He also called an AFL match for Fox last August when Brenton Speed was unavailable.

Kell is who I’d use was what I meant. I’d be using her ahead of a couple they regularly use though.

Was that the Gold Coast vs Richmond game where Riewoldt kicked 10 goals?

Can anyone remember who the lead commentator was for this game between GWS and Port Adelaide in 2012? All I remember was that he was a fill-in for Dwayne Russell who was in London for the Olympics.

That would be Tristan Foenander.

Cheers, I recall watching that match on 7mate in Sydney in 2012 but the commentator’s name escaped me immediately afterwards.
IIRC he called the Gold Coast vs Sydney game the week prior (July 28) and the Gold Coast vs GWS game in round 20 (August 11). Matt Campbell would’ve also had to call a few Sunday games to cover Dwayne’s absence.

Ben Waterworth is the fill in this Saturday - calling the GWS game at Giants Stadium.

BOB MURPHY RETURNS TO CHAT TO HIS FAVOURITE CELEBRITIES ABOUT THEIR LOVE OF AFL
After a triumphant first season in 2018, Bob Murphy’s show Bob returns to television screens tonight (Tuesday June 11) at 8.30pm with season two of the popular chat-style show premiering on FOX FOOTY, on Foxtel.
The former-Western Bulldogs star, who retired from the game in 2017, brings together his love of sport, music, comedy and thoughtful conversations as he interviews famous Aussie footy fans in this eight part series.
The first episode sees Murphy meet with musician and Crows tragic Paul Kelly over a pot of tea in a Melbourne recording studio. The one-on-one draws parallels between AFL and music, with Murphy delving deeper into Kelly’s relationship with both.
Other celebrities Murphy will chat to during the second series, include: Matlida’s star Sam Ker r, Jarryd Roughead , comedians Tim Ross ( Rosso ) and and Sam Pang , celebrated Australian basketballer Luc Longley and Brendan Fevola .
“They’re all like my children and they all standout. It’s about a crooked look at the game. I pick people I like who interest me and then it’s kind of like fishing and it’ll go somewhere unexpected,” Murphy said in explaining what viewers can expect.
Kerr’s episode airs during her conquest in Paris at the World Cup. The superstar footballer opens up on pay equality and her relationship with her brother, AFL-great, Daniel Kerr .
As well as his show Bob , Murphy joins his good mate Nick Riewoldt every Wednesday night for the ‘Captain’s Run’ on AFL 360 .
