So why did WA TV specifically refer to “from 2010”?
Between 2007 to 2011, 7 and ten shared the afl grand final
So ten did 2007,2009,2011 and 7 did 2008 and 2010
Um… Yes, I know that, I said exactly that a few posts above:
But why exclude 2008?
Friday night team (Bruce + Dennis) still did it.
7mate in Adelaide will show the 2017 Magarey Medal, SANFL’s best and fairest award, plus South Australian Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9pm.

Were Bruce and Dennis the Friday night team in 2001? If so, we can backdate that at least to there…

Oh I’m well aware… I’m suggesting that the Friday night call team have called the GF a lot further back than 2010!!

Pre 2002, as I recall, Seven had Bruce and Sandy calling the GFs, with Dennis as a third commentator some years and even Anthony Hudson one year as the third commentator.

Bruce was solo PbP in 2001 alongside Robert Walls and Dermott Brereton, save for Round 22 when he called with Ian Robertson (the FNF team from 1995-1999). He called the GF with Sandy Roberts, Jason Dunstall (who did FNF in 1999-2000) and Gerard Healy.

It appears as though the Swans game this Friday against Geelong has been moved to 7mate in Sydney.
Which is a shame.
Presumably due to last week’s disappointing ratings on the main channel.
