I hope this isn’t true!! I want to see Australian Spartan at 7:00, can’t the news be scheduled for earlier in the night? Damn football…

Im sure you are :grinning::grinning:

in the past, I think they would have a news bulletin at half time if my memory is correct.

What is the difference between 7:00 and 7:30 - not much at all besides the 30 minute difference.

Maybe 7:30 is past his bed time :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Under the current broadcast deal WA will not get the Melbourne-Geelong clash on FTA, which is unfortunate because it is produced by Seven and does not overlap with the Eagles-Swans game.

Qld will get 6 games if you include the Women’s GF on Saturday, which leads into St.Kilda vs Lions, which leads into GC vs North in Cairns (boy will that be scrappy, the sweat all over the ball will make handling a lottery). Plus of course the games on Thursday, Friday and Sunday Afternoon.

AFLW isn’t AFL, so I wasnt counting it as part of 7’s AFL rights agreement. Under that logic, WA/NSW/SA also get 6 games this weekend.

For the 4th consecutive year:

Please can we get new graphics tonight!

The 7AFL hashtag on Seven’s AFL Twitter account now has its own emoji: a white 7 logo on a red Sherrin.
And yes we have new graphics. The flipping style is similar to the Frost graphics used on Seven’s coverage in 1998-2001.
