Jack Heverin calling AFL for Seven would probably be enough for me to switch over to Seven from Fox. For those games at least.

That would be great if true. Jack is a terrific caller and also a great person.
Seven can get their money’s worth by using him on their cricket coverage too, like they do with Alister Nicholson and James Brayshaw.

Assuming this has something to do with the British Lions match at the MCG on Saturday night.
They are just for NSW
Daniel Gorringe said on Wide World of Sports on 3AW last night that he would play for Team Victoria in the EJ Whitten Legends Game.
I think this image from today’s crazy game shows why Bennett is a fantastic commentator and why 7 needs to promote him to be permanent member and not just a fill in
He basically tells everyone to shush so the crowd and the images can tell the story after that crazy moment. He did the same when Sam Docherty kicked a goal in his first game back.

Looks like Seven is tapping into it’s archive content for multichannel filler now - other day caught something called “AFL Frantic Finishes” airing on 7Mate - wasn’t in the schedule or anything, so would’ve been a short filler to fill a gap in the schedule. Was just the final few minutes of a close match from the 90s.

Commentators revealed for Legends Game
Taylor, Richardson, Maher, DiPierdomenico, Maddern and more to feature on Seven and 7plus
A stable of elite and much loved commentators have been revealed for the iconic Four’N Twenty Legends Game for Prostate Cancer on Thursday, 28 August at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport.
Seven favourites Brian Taylor, Matthew Richardson, Rebecca Maddern and Andy Maher will feature, while popular footy personality and former AFL great, Billy Brownless and arguably Australian football’s most iconic boundary rider, Robert ‘Dipper’ DiPierdomenico, will join the team to keep viewers entertained. More big names will be announced soon.
The much-anticipated state of origin clash between Victoria and the All Stars is named in honour of football legend E.J Whitten, who passed away from prostate cancer 30 years ago.
The event aims to raise much needed awareness and funds for prostate cancer through the Australian Prostate Centre, a world-class prostate cancer hub that brings together the best in care, treatments and collaborative research for Australian men and their families.
Leading Victoria as Captain is 7AFL Expert Commentator and Hawthorn legend, Luke Hodge, while AFL great and former 7NEWS Melbourne Sport Presenter, Tim Watson, will take the reins as Coach. Representing the All Stars as Captain is 7AFL Expert Commentator and St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt, with Hawthorn icon and Seven’s House of Wellness co-host Shane Crawford set to Coach.
Superstar #1 draft picks for the match include Gary Ablett Jnr for the Vics and Cyril Rioli for the All Stars.
Seven Network’s Head of AFL and Sport Innovation, Gary O’Keeffe, said the commentary team will add enormous value, fun and entertainment to the Legends Game.“The Legends Game is a highlight on the AFL calendar and it will be great to see Brian Taylor, Matthew Richardson, Rebecca Maddern, Andy Maher, and Billy Brownless come together to bring viewers and footy fans all the excitement and action, live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport,” he said.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Aussie men, with one in five estimated to be diagnosed in their lifetime. Funds raised through match will help support patient care and vital research collaborations at the Australian Prostate Centre.
The Australian Prostate Centre is part of the RULE Prostate Cancer not-for-profit charity. For more information or to donate, please visit www.legendsgame.com.au

Just prior to the bounce tonight, Ch7 put a commentators graphic up in the bottom corner of the screen as they do normally. Instead of the full commentators names, they had: BT, HAME, HODGEY, ROOEY and MITCH. They’re obviously poking fun at Fox Footy for discouraging talent to use colleague’s nicknames on air.
EDIT: Will post a screenshot once 7+ replay goes up tonight
