Great, with over halfway done lol
(as long as the grants keep coming)
So is it BOG or a proper analysis show?

Thereâs literally no reason why this show couldnât have started in Round 1 of the AFLW season, with the Sunday time slot free due to no Bounce on etc.

Because they donât care.

If they actually cared all the major showâs (360, etc) would be on air until the AFLW ends, or at least have a similar amount of programs for the AFLW.

That would be a silly business decision. There is not enough demand for wraparound AFLW programming.

Any reason why Fox Footy has a countdown timer during the AFL GF but Fox League shows replays of old grand finals when the NRL GF is happening?
Fox League might have a different rights deal than Fox Footy for their respective code.

I know Fox Footy used to have half-time and full-time analysis of the Grand Final before the replay until a few years ago.
Did anyone actually watch those, though?

Someone at Fox Footy remembers 2006, when they got 50k people watching the previous yearâs Grand Final (between the same teams, West Coast and Sydney).

That wouldâve been embarrassing for Fox Footy Channel, especially on what was their final full day of broadcast before it shut down at 4:00am the following morning (this followed the expiration of the 2002-06 broadcasting rights shared between them, Nine and Ten).
Or, it couldâve been top-notch trolling from them.

I suspect thereâs probably some sort of agreement by Fox not to show full games against the live final now.

Itâs still talked about in media circles. I canât remember if it was on a podcast or on radio but I heard someone recently tell the story of how they only realised half way through they were watching the previous yearâs grand final.
Mind you, it was fitting in 2006 with it being the same grand finalists as 2005, which is probably why 50k people fell for it.

Different management direction?

Donât worry if you miss Trading Day live this week - you can catch the almost endless repeats on Fox Footy
Shame there is some AFLW to break up the monotony of the same program

Foxtel spruiking their AFL coverage for next year
Foxtel Groupâs landmark AFL rights deal - commencing in 2025 - will usher in a new era of Aussie Rules football broadcasting as the company prepares to supercharge its coverage of the game.
With the introduction of Super Saturday Live, Fox Footy, on Kayo Sports and Foxtel, will be the only place to watch AFL live for at least the first eight rounds of the season nationally, and the first 15 rounds in Victoria - all ad-break free during live play and in 4K.
As part of the new deal, Fox Footy will also broadcast every single match of the home and away season with dedicated Fox Footy expert commentary teams, Fox Footy innovative graphics, and premium technology designed to enhance every moment of the game. And no ads after every goal means extra time for expert analysis from our commentary team.
The Fox Footy commentary team includes Premiership champions Jason Dunstall, Jonathan Brown and David King along with other respected experts such as Nathan Buckley, Garry Lyon, Eddie Betts and more. The suite of experts boasts a combined 8743 games and 29 Premierships, offering a credibility and pedigree that is unmatched in market.
In 2025, viewers can expect more surprises in the commentary box. Watch this space.

I wonder what this means? Youâd hope âsurprisesâ refers to comedians or other random appearances and not an increase in women or diverse voicesâŚ

Ruby has also been on the Bounce show this season and I expect this to continue in 2025 and be part of Fox Footyâs expanded commentary team

well thatâs just mean, and rude, and ⌠a little accurate.
Anyway, Iâm sure heâll do a much better job than Selwood on 7. Great player, but my goodness, Joel does not add much if anything to the coverage.
