I assume a rotating pool will replace her on Cats games?
She has done Melbourne AFL games in the past when she was Melbourne AFLW captain.

Yeah but she wasn’t a coach. She’ll be unable to call them as she’ll be working.
How about Gold Coast? It is a VIC-NSW-QLD competition afterall
We’ve already been over this. They don’t broadcast the VFL outside Victoria, thus aren’t going to show non-Vic sides.

Sam McClure confirmed on 3AW on Friday that Jimmy Bartel would be a panellist on Nine’s Footy Classified on Wednesday nights. Seven is expected to unveil its 2023 commentary team this week or next week, and we will find out if Jimmy remains a member of the team.

Highly doubt he’d be on both 9 and 7.

Must have got offered a better contract, McClure also left Seven (Talking Footy and Footy Central) for Nine too.

On another but not dissimilar note, Seven continue to be criticised as official rights holders for not investing better in their other programming, with TFB really the only proper show and that’s a light/non-analytical one anyway.
By whom?
There was a latest story by Jackie Epstein I think in the Sun, her and the likes of Fiona Byrne are often writing about it and Nine’s by comparison large offering of shows, I’ll try and get a link

They have already revealed most of the regular callers. It’s just about who are the wide range of analysts and other part time callers that will be part of their broadcast

Abbey Holmes will miss the opening weeks of the 2023 AFL season, after being named as a contestant in the new season of SAS Australia. It will be filming soon in the Middle East.

She was also on 10’s Survivor a few of years ago (also while on the books for Seven) and IIRC had to go MIA from their AFL for a bit
