Fox Footy

Fox should just tell people the Grand Final is on Seven.

They’re hardly going to promote a rival network (unless Seven paid for the privilege).

Why not just show the Seven broadcast, ads and all?

It would probably affect Seven’s ratings.

Yeah that’s the reason why it is only on 7

In this particular circumstance, they’re not really a rival. Would Fox Footy rather people watch their static screen?

October: Guest Programmer

Great coup for Fox Footy, no doubt Lyon will provide special comments on weekend matches if he is not working for SEN.

Garry works for SEN or has that changed too?

He’ll still be at SEN

Yes I’m aware, was more suggesting he isn’t at Triple M. He’ll continue doing Fri 6-11 on SEN along with Breakfast.

Is Gerard Healy is still going to host On The Couch, or is Lyon going to take over?

AFLW season launches on FOX FOOTY bigger and better in 2018.

The network will also welcome Adelaide Crows marquee player and 2017 AFLW best and fairest winner Erin Phillips to the team, further cementing FOX FOOTY as the best team in the business.

The highly accolated premiership player will bring her expert knowledge and zest for the game to her role on the panel of Women’s Footy on FOX, which returns with a revolving forum of big-name guests.

“I can’t wait to have a front-seat view of all the AFLW action on and off the field. I’m in such a fortunate position to be a part of two teams this season – playing for the Crows, as well as joining another group of footy experts at FOX FOOTY.

In its second year, AFLW is going to be even bigger – the skills have improved and I’m looking forward to chatting about the ins and outs of each player and their teams”, said Phillips.

Boosting the AFLW expert team are current AFLW players; All-Australian and Melbourne defender Mel Hickey, and Carlton vice-captain and midfielder Lauren Arnell.

Renowned sports presenter Kelli Underwood will host Women’s Footy of FOX, alongside FOX FOOTY’S Kate Sheahan and Leigh Montagna. The seven week series begins on Monday 5th February.

Game days will be hosted by Sarah Jones, who will be joined by Underwood and FOX SPORTS’ Neroli Meadows, who will lead all the action on the boundary. AFL greats Brad Johnson, Alastair Lynch, Ben Dixon, and Paul Hasleby will add special insight, as well as one of the best caller’s in the business Anthony Hudson, who will be integral to game day with Montagna.

Rounding out the FOX FOOTY AFLW commentary team will be Adam Papalia, Chyloe Kurdas, Paul Hasleby, Sam Hargreaves, Katherine Loughnan, Natalie Yoannidis, Tania Armstrong, Ben Waterworth, Sarah Olle, and Anna Harrington.

Women’s Footy on FOX begins Monday 5th February at 7.30pm.

FOX FOOTY remains the only network to watch every game, of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks siren to siren, all in the one place.
