Do we know anything about any of this broadcast team? I think Cody Weightman is the expert comms for the game and the red carpet interviewer (can’t remember his name).

According to this it will be Cody Weightman & Darcy Moore as the players involved.

Kids calling for kids for Western Bulldogs v Richmond clash, live and free on 7plus Sport
In exciting news for young footy fans and parents alike, Round 15 of the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season marks the launch of the inaugural 7AFL Kids Call live, free and exclusively streamed on 7plus Sport in Victoria, and West Australia.
In exciting news for young footy fans and parents alike, Round 15 of the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season marks the launch of the inaugural 7AFL Kids Call live, free and exclusively streamed on 7plus Sport in Victoria and West Australia.
This year marks the first time Australians can stream AFL footy for free on 7plus Sport and access an impressive array of new shows, offering footy fans incredible AFL content seven nights of the week.
Following the 7AFL Kids Call, minis from the match will be available on the 7AFL Kids Call Hub on 7plus nationally.
In a first for Australian sporting codes, the 7AFL Kids Call will be led by three young footy fans who will present their own pre-game and post-match coverage, as well as full match commentary for the Round 15 Western Bulldogs and Richmond clash from 3.00pm AEST Sunday, 22 June.
Supported by Nintendo, the 7AFL Kids Call is designed to attract younger people to 7plus Sport, while at the same time unearthing some of Australia’s youngest and brightest Australian football commentary stars.
The three talented participants who will be calling the shots are Adelaide’s Alex Kouts (11), and Melbourne’s Ned Bolton (13) and Indie Axup (16). They will be guided by seasoned caller Jack Heverin.
Alex, the 2024 AFL Auskicker of the Year, currently calls senior football in South Australia each Saturday, and will be based in the commentary box alongside Jack and Ned.
The son of current St Kilda Assistant Coach, Brendan Bolton, Ned has already shown a flair with his interviewing style through his popular “Roaming Bolts” series inspired by 7AFL’s Roaming Brian and produced by the Collingwood Football Club.
Indie will be on deck to deliver all the latest news and interviews from the boundary with coaches and players before joining Alex and Ned in the winning club rooms post-match.
In a coup for footy fans, current stars of the game Cody Weightman (Western Bulldogs) and Darcy Moore (Collingwood) will also be on deck alongside the 7AFL Kids Call team as expert commentators to give valuable insight and guide the young stars on gameday.
Seven Network Head of Sport – Digital, Kirsty Bradmore, said: “Creating fresh, fun and engaging content like the 7AFL Kids Call is such an exciting way to connect with new audiences, particularly young footy fans.
“It’s about kids calling for kids and celebrating the next generation by making the game more accessible and entertaining for everyone. We cannot wait to get started.”
“Alex, Ned and Indie are absolute naturals. Their energy, passion and footy knowledge are outstanding, and we know Aussie kids will love their analysis, commentary and player interviews. They’ve dreamt of a moment like this, and we’re thrilled to help bring it to life.
“We’ll be adding two more matches during the 2025 season, which we look forward to sharing very soon."
Indie Axup said: “Having this amazing opportunity to work with the 7AFL Kids Call and call the footy in our own way is a dream come true. Footy has always been a massive part of my life, and there is no feeling that compares to the roar of the crowd or the chants circling the

Indi yes, Ned will be host it seems alongside Jack Heverin and Alex Kouts.
Is 7 Perth doing their own coverage for both games in WA this round?
No, 7 aren’t allowed to do their own stuff for any Sat games, but they will be doing tomorrow’s Eagles game. Mark Readings and Ryan Daniels are both working on radio tonight.
Wait they can’t do Saturday? They did the Good Friday game. So it’s not just Sunday. I thought they would do any games they can that’s played at Optus (except the delayed match)
They can’t do their own Saturday as its Fox exclusive. They can do on Friday, Sunday or any other day.

I thought that only during the Fox super Saturday which is until R9 when 7 had to delay
Seven don’t produce any coverage for Saturday games. All they can do is simulcast Fox coverage for SA/WA/NSW/QLD teams into their home markets.

They actually do local pre-game, half-time, and post-game for some SA matches, but apart from that, it’s the Fox feed.

Yesterday’s Agenda Setters was from the new set. The start was a bit of a miss with the panelist being in the dark (was highlighted in Footy Classified closing cook + Caro’s phone ringing)
