Looking at the list of commentators, it seems as though Matthew Richardson will not be travelling to Adelaide for Gather Round?
Jason Bennett making his first AFL appearance of the season for the Sunday twilight game. Back together with his previous Thursday night partner in Hamish McLachlan.

Seven have done some adjustments to the “Sunday Footy Feast” set. There now seems to be a standing platform (with lighting) added alongside the base-wall screen. Resembling more so the Sunrise Set in Sydney.
Looks better.
The two JBs - James Brayshaw and Jason Bennett - are commentating today’s Port Adelaide v St Kilda game.
James Brayshaw & Jason Bennet doing commentary.
Maybe BT is the reason why there has been no Bennett (I remember an article said BT preferred Nicholson compared to Bennett). First Sunday without BT & it’s Bennett instead of Nicholson.
Next Sunday Gather Round the afternoon match is Hamish with Bennett while the Sunday Night match is Nicholson & BT.
I also think today is partly due to the fact this is the second consecutive Sunday afternoon match in Adelaide - save BT and Alister flying over two weeks in a row by sending Brayshaw and Bennett instead.
Really enjoying coverage of 7 Perth afl coverage.
And a couple of good wins leading-in to the local news bulletins respectively tonight, we’ll see tomorrow morning if any effect on Seven News and Idol.

Would also be interesting to see total AFL breakdown in Wa, not that we’ll ever see it without Foxtel releasing data, on Seven vs Fox Footy/Kayo especially given the new broadcast deals and Seven Perth’s own feed.
Makes sense; it’s the first Sunday night match for Channel 7 this year.
In place of that Crows show?
Nope - can’t see it in the TV guide, but new episodes are being uploaded to 7Plus - The Crows Show looks like an-in house production by the Adelaide Crows and likely pays for the airtime, while this new Two Team Town is a in-house production by the newsroom.
Looks like times are already getting tough at Seven… The Agenda Setters and Two Team Town appear to be sharing a logo design. Another Rainmaker production, I’m guessing?
I don’t talk up 7 often but it is nice to see them splash some money on their weekly coverage, an extra 3 hours of content. I have kayo but I do like to consume a lot of content during the week and sevens has settled nicely. This wouldn’t have come cheaply and it would have been easy for them to give James Brayshaw and Brian Taylor their own show.
