Least FOX League is using proper club logos on their graphics and is looking more polished than FOX Footy. Hoping the graphics are fixed for AFL 360.

Fox has the AAMI Community Series games exclusively.
Was really happy with the coverage of this game on Saturday. While the news was overshadowed with the shock of the passing of Shane Warne, which they did a special tribute and intro to as well as mentioning the Hillcrest aspect prior to the opener.
Throughout the afternoon they had the QR code for fundraising and had it mentioned several times, they had lots of Tasmanian and Devonport football history, lots of commentary from Tasmanians or those with Tasmanian connections and also had interviews with Gil and Peter Gutwein and really helped the push for a Tasmanian teamā¦ sometimes like an ambush at Gil. lol.
They also managed to include a lot of the Hillcrest stuff with students who were injured taking part in various things and other kids from the school on the field as the teams came out. It was a really good thing for Devonport and seems to have actually gone better for the town than I thought it would which was really good to see - plus the weather was pretty good too with rain avoiding out area and it being quite humid with them saying very regularly just how hot the weather was and that it was conditions more like Queensland - very rare for a Tasmanian sporting event to get those accolades!

Oh right sorry, I misread and thought it was one of the AFLW games. My apologies.

Fox league changed from old graphics to new graphics for NRLW this week why didnāt Fox Footy change?
Probably because they are already 8 rounds into the season.

NRLW is āmadeā by the āactualā broadcast crew, while the AFLW isnāt, so they keep the āold graphicsā as their facilities are more limited.
Not sure Tom Morris will be keeping his gig at Fox if two items doing the rounds are authenticated.

ooooooooh Iāve just seen the second oneā¦
Heās been suspended pending an investigation.
The apology came as Fox Footy announced it had stood Morris down over a separate issue relating to videos that circulated on social media on Thursday in which he allegedly made offensive and inappropriate comments about a colleague.

Someone has clearly been sitting on those items for a while waiting for the most devasting (for Morris) time to leak themā¦
But why wait? Clearly someone of the same mindset as Morris has recorded these and then a hugely unlikely opportunity arises at a press comference and they release them less than 24 hours later. Iām not defending him by any means, but I doubt whoever released them is a beacon of equality.

Yeah, it turns out (according to the Herald Sun anyway) that one of Morrisā friends allegedly sent the exchange to another friend and it got widely shared from there.

Who will fill his post-match reporter role at Fox Footy? I know they also have Jon Ralph. Hopefully this gives more career opportunities to the likes of Sarah Olle.
She works for AFL media now.
