Seven AFL Coverage

Two Saints games seems odd?

Unfortunately that’s the reality of back-to-back Sundays with Richmond and St Kilda hosting.

Give me the latter any week.

Triple M’s Saturday Rub now on 7plus Sport

Iconic footy talk show available to stream for remainder of 2026 AFL Season

The Seven Network and Triple M have strengthened its consolidated footy offering for 2026, with Triple M’s iconic Saturday Rub available for fans to stream on 7plus Sport for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season.

AFL fans can catch the much-loved Triple M Footy show featuring James Brayshaw, Billy Brownless, Bernie Vince and Damien Barrett on 7plus Sport, bringing to the platform their mix of analysis, breaking news, opinion and the unmistakable Triple M Footy chemistry that takes footy seriously, but never itself.

After the Saturday Rub airs live on Triple M, fans will be able to stream the Saturday Rub, from 3.00pm AEST every Saturday on 7plus Sport, starting with a huge Saturday of footy for Round 12 of the AFL season on Triple M, this weekend.

Fans can also catch full match replays, mini’s, pre- and post-game coverage, as well as Seven’s ancillary programs including The Front Bar, The Agenda Setters, Unfiltered and Sunday Footy Feast on demand at any time, with Triple M’s the Saturday Rub the latest addition to the stacked offering.

The Saturday Rub for Round 12 will follow Seven’s usual Thursday Night and Friday Night Footy coverage, with two blockbuster encounters involving four big Victorian clubs, as Saint Kilda take on Hawthorn on Thursday Night Footy, while the following night sees in-form Carlton clash with the Geelong Cats on Friday Night Footy, both live and free on Seven, 7mate and 7plus sport from 7.00pm AEST.

The third slider for Big Freeze 12 was revealed tonight, and it’s none other than Governor-General (and former AFL Commissioner) Sam Mostyn.

She’s actually the third slider. Sam Mac was the first person announced a few weeks ago while Andy Lee was unveiled on The Front Bar last night.

Herald Sun reported online tonight that former Demons captain Nathan Jones and former Carlton and Collingwood player Dale Thomas would be the fourth and fifth slider. Slider No.6 is Victorian rural GP Dr Josh Sanders who has been raising funds and awareness for FightMND.

the match winning goal by Cripps was called terribly by JB.

“Cripps. Cripps! Huge.” In a moment like that is just criminal. Nicholson called the Cats goal so it was JB’s chance to call the next play and he BUTCHERED it. There was 0 excitement. Horrible.

Fox was 10000000 times better. 7 needs to get JB into the MMM version. At least for close games and huge moments.

Jack Heverin, Al Nicholson, Joel Selwood & Kate Massey will be the crew in Alice Springs for the Sunday Arvo game.

I’m going to assume JB & Hamish will do the Sunday night (because BT called last night in Melbourne for MMM)

No - BT said on MMM that he is flying to Perth for tonight’s match.

I think this same day last year the Sunday night match in Perth was called by BT and JB?

That means he’s called every day this round. Called Thursday & Sunday nights on 7 and called Friday & Saturday nights on MMM

Is there a particular reason Seven is covering WCE v ESS tonight, given they don’t normally cover Sunday night games?

Is it one of these six games?

I was wondering the same, seems very peculiar.

Seems like Seven are filling holes in their schedule with AFL when possible. Works for AFL markets, but no so much in Sydney and Brisbane.

They had it last year too. Its part of their Sunday night footy

Yeah but that match-up too, WCE v Ess? Bottom of the ladder, bizarre for Sunday prime time FTA. Even core Melburnians will probably be flicking the channel to something else (at last check Essendon also already losing :sob:)

It was WC v Cats last year. I think it’s a way the AFL can give Eagles a national FTA match and it’s justified as Sunday night before WA Day public holiday.

It’s the equivalent of Kings Birthday Eve, Easter Sunday Night etc
