Except for Melbourne where it was weekend presenters as usual.

Watched a bit of Hugh Whitfield in recent days and while he’s polished, he’s a bit melodramatic.
And Peter Mitchell’s delivery, what on earth is going on there?

I was just coming to comment on Mitch. I’ve mentioned it before but his woodeness is so full on. His ‘’reporter - at XXX- thank you’ after every cross is so odd. Personalise it up a bit!!
I prefer the 7 reporting team which is why I watch, but he drives me nuts. Much prefer when Bec & Mike are presenting.

He seemed to stumble over some words last night too (I don’t normally watch 7, so it was odd to see)
Sunday 18 September -
Mike Amor presenting solo in Melbourne tonight. Rebecca Maddern is at Crown Casino to co-host the Brownlow Medal Count with Hamish McLachlan.
Tim Watson presenting sport and Jane Bunn presenting weather from the (largely empty) Brownlow red carpet.

I don’t dislike Bec but she is really out of her depth on these large events. A lot of nervous laughter when she’s doing interviews with players.
It’s just another example of why she didn’t work on Weekend Today. She’s a great reader when she just has to read the auto cue but seems to really struggle reading live and ad-libing at the same time.

A strange career move. From US Correspondent reporting on major political events such as the 2020 Election, Black Lives Matter protests and Capital Hill Riots, to reading out the weather forecast on the nightly news.
It’s not the first time.
Camera time is camera time. I dare say it’s not a career move either. He’s filling in.
Rebecca Maddern reporting from inside the MCG tonight, also presented the Afternoon news from the G as well.

Rebecca Maddern was grinning from ear to ear (Geelong won) but she did well to keep her composure copresenting tonight’s bulletin inside the MCG.
Notice that Seven News Sydney had its own crew at the MCG, with Mel McLaughlin presenting sport from top level of Ponsford Stand and reporter Tom Sacre in the Swans team rooms.

Peter Mitchell usually presents the GF bulletin. Not this year.

They don’t need Mitch. Mike and Bec are miles ahead of him.

Has been getting worse in the last few years. So uncomfortable and nervous when reading the bulletin.

Checking her notes, I mean I’d say 99% of the time these days they’re using phones not paper scripts.

Next time they do a story on ADHD they need to make sure the reporter knows the letter H is pronounced ‘aitch’, not ‘haitch’.

Both are acceptable, don’t see the issue personally.
