My guess, though I might be wrong is:
Thu: Darcy and Nicholson
Fri: BT and Brayshaw
Sat: Darcy and Bennett
Sun: Any two of Brayshaw/Darcy/Nicholson
Mon: BT and Nicholson
Definitely not Brayshaw tonight because he’s currently in MMM’s Melbourne studios for The Rush Hour. And I think there was a reference on radio last week to BT doing Triple M tonight.
EDIT - made some changes above based on Triple M call schedule
Interesting, I thought BT was said to be Thursday night but this would be the 2nd week in a row that he hasn’t done Thursday night. Both Adelaide games too
I think Bennett could do Sunday? VFL afternoon then Sunday night AFL, he did multiple VFL to AFL on Sundays last year
Could be, but given it’s a Sunday night ‘marquee’ game, Seven might prefer to use more of the ‘big-name’ commentators I mentioned above.
He did this same game last year didn’t he? I think it was Darcy & Bennett
Oh yes, I think you are right, I forgot about that.
Normally I would agree that they would use one of their big name commentators for marquee matches but they can’t use BT & Brayshaw all the time especially with no Hamish this year
I’d say so. Sunday night could potentially be even bigger than King’s Birthday. Sunday prime time, arch-rivals, two of the biggest clubs, both doing very well this year.
On a side note, I reckon this has watered down Kings Birthday a bit, similar to Anzac Eve before Anzac Day and Round Zero before Richmond v Carlton season opener. Also Melbourne have had some recent shockers form wise, Collingwood aren’t exactly flying either.
Bennett is doing the VFL & AFL double tonight.

Well done Jason. Much better than the efforts of Tim Lane in the past. Refusing to call the last qtr of a Friday night game to protect his voice for channel 10 the next night.
Though between 2006-11, he would sometimes do the afternoon game.
2006 saw Ten start to mix up their commentary teams, departing from the Chrisso/Huddo and Quarters/Tim Lane combos we saw on Saturday afternoons and evenings, respectively. However, Quarters and Tim Lane would never do the Saturday arvo game together unless it was Anzac Day.
Was this actually a thing?
When he was at 774 ABC?
Because IIRC when he went to AW in 2010, as did BT from Triple M, BT did Fridays with Bruce Eva and Tim did Saturday and Sunday afternoons with Tony Leonard.
And as Avatar mentioned above, Ten ended up rotating all the commentators around including The Fifth Quarter.
So this must’ve been early to mid 2000s Lane at the latest?
Yes it did happen. He was at AW at the time and from memory one of the times it was his beloved Blues getting rolled on a Friday night.
Was BT absent that night or something?
Unless I have that wrong. But Lane definitely did Saturday and Sunday afternoons, can’t imagine he did 3 timeslots in one round, given his Ten commitments too. Although I recall Leonard doing the occasional solo on Saturday or Sunday, so maybe Tim could’ve done a Friday then.
Well last year he did VFL from 12pm, left at HT to go do AFL at 2:30pm. don’t know why 7 made him do that but they did.
I don’t know. It did happen…And it was certainly it was his Blues playing on the Friday night.
From what I’ve been able to put together- he once definitely left at 3QT during a Friday night game between Essendon and Carlton where Carlton were getting smashed, this appears to have been Round 13 in 2009. This was his last year commentating part time for ABC 774, he moved to 3AW for 2010.
Tonight’s telecast opened with a “Chopper” super, then succeeding supers said “Drone” 
Surely not using both? Error?
–
The two JBs calling tonight!
Why is Carlton’s colour for the score graphic white? They aren’t wearing their clash
And it’s not the white shorts because in opening round the blue wore their away (blue top & white shorts) and 7 had blue score graphic
Carlton should be wearing their clash jumper. They are the away team and navy clashes with black
