Not quite JB’s debut on 7. He spent a fair few years there before moving to nine in 2002

Brayshaw did spend time at the 7 network from the 1990s until 2001. He anchored the 2001 Ashes series on Seven.

Yes they are commentating right behind the interchange bench.

Did JB call AFL matches for Seven in that timeframe? He did some ABC radio calls with Malcolm McDonald during that timeframe.
Is this simulcast on Fox Footy? Or exclusive to Seven?
Seven News Melbourne promo aired earlier tonight on 7mate Sydney during the EJ Whitten Legends coverage.

Yep, Seven Sport are airing some promos IN-PROGRAM.
As well as the ads/promos OUT-OF-PROGRAM (switch).
Very odd and rare to see it happen 
I noticed it when I saw a promo for Little Big Shots and Seven News… With the Seven Sport watermark still in the top-right!
(i.e.) What you saw was the former, as a switch to an actual ad break would never show an incorrect market (unless of course there’s the odd mistake).

Wow - what an exciting E.J. Whitten Legends Game with an extraordinary finish! Victoria trailed the All Stars by 5 points late in the final term, Adem Yze missed a shot at goal but Jonathan Brown marked near the left behind post two seconds AFTER the final siren and scored the goal to win the game by one point for the Vics! It is the highest team score for both Victoria (156) and All Stars (155) in the game’s 22 year history, and the highest combined score (311) in the game’s history.

Twas amazing 
It’s an exciting finish every year usually with Victoria winning. Almost like the game is scripted or something…

I’m pretty sure they were also commentating the Richmond vs Collingwood VFL game earlier in the afternoon.

Not the result the AFL nor Seven would’ve wanted (or anyone expected)!
What a one-sided belting by the Vics 
Anyway, great opportunity and exposure for the AFL W, only going forward from here.

I didn’t catch last night’s SoO match as I was out, but why do they bother getting Abbey to provide the “expert comments” on AFLW games as whenever I’ve seen her on she barely says a thing all night.
Who knows why they constantly use Hamish because he is one of the worst (if not the worst) sport host/commentator the network has, followed closely by Basil.
Jason and Nigel normally call the afternoon VFL games? I’m pretty sure they do every weekend?
