What was Seven’s AFL cocerage in 2001 like before they lost the rights to Nine
How do you mean?
From memory there was Friday night delayed at 8:30, Saturday replay leading into a Saturday night game from interstate. Sunday’s was usually a double header from interstate. I think by 2001 every match was produced by Seven either for fta or C7 Sport on Optus Vision.
Here’s a full match to give you an idea. Look out for little Jack Silvangi running out with his dad for his 300th game. Also a reminder of how bad Paul Salmon was as a commentator.

The match mentioned above was one of many covered by Seven from 1998 to 2001 that did not get the fully animated “Frost” graphics, as they were used mainly for matches outside Victoria.

Yep, since Seven was showing the Swans-Power match live in Melbourne, while the North-Freo match was live in WA.

Big play-out issues during the last commercial break (7HD and Ch 7), long periods of black screen with an intermittent ad here and there. Oops

BT has denied he was involved in an on-air blow-up with fellow caller Jason Bennett earlier this month during a match in Adelaide.

Do you think that they’ll suspend him?
No, if BT’s version of events is true.

The Game airs at 5:30PM straight after the Western Derby 47. Mark Readings will join Xavier Ellis and Shaun McManus at Crown Perth.

Sorry if it’s already been asked, but what’s happened to Footy Flashbacks?
It definitely still aired last year on a Sunday before the live AFL, Dennis Cometti was hosting.
Or does it appear on/off or maybe later in the home and away season, towards finals? I hope Seven will return it soon, such a cheap and easy program to produce.

Many of them seemed to be repeats which was bizarre given the depth of content they have access to.

On the evening of the Royal Wedding, AFL will likely be scheduled on 7mate while 7 covers the weddding live.
Mixed bag for WA teams this weekend. While tomorrow afternoon’s match between West Coast and Adelaide will be shown live on Seven Perth against the gate, Sunday’s Richmond-Fremantle clash will be shown on a massive 2.5 hour delay on Seven starting at 1.30pm WA time (I think it is the third and final Fremantle match of the year to be shown on delay on FTA).

You’d think it would be the interstate game that is shown live, wouldn’t you…

This is the one scenario where I think the football is more important than a wedding that has been much too hyped-up.
