Also dropped on 7Mate
Former 7NEWS Adelaide weekend presenter, Jessica Adamson, is the MC at this evening’s Showdown.
She was also on-location in Jolimont outside the MCG on Grand Final day for Seven Adelaide in 2017, when the Crows got infamously slaughtered
She was meant to host a special edition of Seven News Adelaide from Federation Square, however, it didn’t go ahead for some reason (presumably as the crows had lost), with Jane Doyle making a rare Saturday appearance from the Adelaide studios. Jess did a live cross instead.
Not the best choice of words given what happened to their former coach Phil Walsh during the previous season.
Adamson was also on the scene for Seven News on the day he passed away. Also, that occurred in 2015, not the season preceding 2017 (which would’ve been 2016).
Will never forget it, was in a hotel in Canberra, turned on Sunrise (I think after seeing it online) and coverage was all over it, such a random, unexpected, tragic shock to the nation.
Seems an eternity ago now, when the Hawks were still flying, would win their third in a row and thrash West Coast (who’d redeem themselves 3 years later in a nail biter upsetting Collingwood), think the ‘Friday Front Bar’ (still under that original title and from an actual pub) was only in its infancy on Seven too.

Not the best choice of words given what happened to their former coach Phil Walsh during the previous season.
Oh come on. So we can’t use the collective noun for crows either now?
With Wayne Carey in the news (yet again), it made me think, how did he get away with his commentary gig at Seven for 8 years
Is Armchair Experts filmed from BCM?

The same sooks carrying on for past 13 seasons.
All games on FTA. 20 out 23 live is unbelievably good run.
Interesting that 7.mate central on vast did not have an Afl game this weekend. Any reason for this. Is it because of.Liv giolf.
Unusual to see a FOX produced game on the main channel in Sydney tonight (Dockers vs Swans).
There was only a very brief opening graphic animation, no on screen hosts before the opening bounce and no 7HD watermark like there usually is in VIC (just the red 7 / Live And Free one).
Is that what normally happens in SA/WA when local team FOX games are shown on the main channel in prime time too?
Usually there is a short intro from the Fox broadcast when Seven joins (probably timed to start when Seven joins in).
I think there is the HD watermark on Fox games here in Adelaide.
There is also no watermark scoreboard during the ad break’s for a Fox game.
Prior to around 2021, Seven Adelaide did local pre, half-time and post game coverage.
Thanks, yes, that short intro might be the same thing I saw, it was well timed and didn’t appear to “crash” into the live FOX feed.
No scoreboard watermark during ads here either.
Usually it’s the Fox theme with the names and colours of both teams, then straight into the coverage.
