To annoy RV, the VRC and to try and trick viewers and take away from Nine and their Melbourne Cup.
I do also feel like in recent years, perhaps in new contracts or bigger commercial arrangements, coverage has definitely increased or focused more on main channel vs 7Two like it was pre-COVID or a decade ago.
Absolutely
Where’s the Cheap Seats when you need them
Tom Morris has reportedly told Nine he is taking up a ‘lucrative offer’ to join Seven.
It says he’s not going to do a lot of 7news
not expected to have a huge day to day role on 7News with Mitch Cleary to remain as chief footy reporter.
So he might probably be boundary rider for AFL & Cricket matches while probably being the Agenda Setters main reporter - which was done by Mitch this season.
Is he still to do his SEN work? Probably will hear him calling a W/BBL game or two come next season as well.
Yes he’s staying with SEN
It’s like viewers slam ABC’s New Year’s Eve Coverage every year since 2013. People watching Seven only to miss the Melbourne Cup has been an annual tradition since 2023
Not entirely sure what his exact role will be. With Mitch, Xander and Tom it’ll be a great team but very crowded

NFL Tailgate live from Los Angeles
Ben Graham broadcasts from the home of the LA Rams live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport
With less than a year until Australia hosts its first-ever international NFL match, Seven’s NFL Tailgate is heading to Los Angeles for a special on-the-ground broadcast from 11.00am AEDT, Friday, 14 November, live and free on 7mate and 7plus Sport.
Hosted by the first Australian to play in a Super Bowl, Ben Graham, NFL Tailgate will deliver viewers exclusive access from the heart of the LA Rams, visiting a training session with the team at Woodland Hills, and a behind-the-scenes look inside the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium, future home of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympic Games.
Graham will take fans closer than ever to the NFL, bringing NFL Tailgate viewers all the colour, access and stories from Los Angeles ahead of the Rams’ upcoming clash with the Seattle Seahawks, broadcast live and free on 7mate and 7plus Sport at 8.00am AEDT on Monday, 17 November.
With player appearance announcements to come soon, Graham will be joined by some of the biggest names in the NFL, giving fans the inside word on the current season, as well as the league’s global expansion and what to expect when the NFL lands in Australia next year.
Graham said: “The LA Rams have built a really strong connection with Australia over the past few years, and it’s great to see that continue.
“We’ll be taking viewers right into the heart of the team – from training to the locker room and SoFi Stadium – to show what makes this organisation one of the best-run in world sport.
““The Rams are in terrific form at 7-2, competing in what’s arguably the toughest division in football, the NFC West. They’re being steered superbly by my former teammate Matthew Stafford, who’s showing all his experience and leadership. It’s been a really impressive campaign so far.”
Seven Network’s Head of Sport Digital, Kirsty Bradmore, said: “This is such an exciting moment for NFL fans in Australia, and we’re thrilled NFL Tailgate is heading to Los Angeles to capture all the action behind the scenes with the LA Rams.
“Ben’s access and insight will give viewers a unique look at the teams, players and preparation behind one of the world’s biggest sports – all live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport.”
The excitement continues following NFL Tailgate with the New York Jets facing the New England Patriots from midday AEDT on 14 November, live and free on 7mate and 7plus Sport.
Together with season broadcast partners Maccas, Neds, NRMA, Kia and Cbus, Seven will bring fans three games live and free every week during the regular NFL season, along with all 12 playoff matches. The season will culminate in the coverage of the most anticipated event in American sports, Super Bowl LX, on Sunday, 8 February 2026.
Viewers can also catch up on NFL highlights, exclusive on-demand shows, replays and bonus content on 7plus Sport, while 7NEWS.com.au and @7Sport on Facebook, X and Instagram have viewers covered for all the biggest breaking news stories out of the league.
Seven’s 2024-25 NFL season coverage reached 4.7 million Australians, up 6% on the 2023-24 season. Philadelphia Eagles’ resounding Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs in February this year reached more than 2.6 million Australians on Seven and 7plus Sport, and had a national total TV audience of 892,000, up 11% on Super Bowl LVIII.
Australian players to watch this season include Jordan Mailata (Philadelphia Eagles), Luke Felix-Fualalo (Philadelphia Eagles), Laki Tasi (Las Vegas Raiders), Jeremy Crawshaw (Denver Broncos), Patrick Murtagh (Denver Broncos), Thomas Yassmin (Los Angeles Chargers), Michael Dickson (Seattle Seahawks), Tory Taylor (Chicago Bears) and Daniel Faalele (Baltimore Ravens).

A tripleheader on Thanksgiving Day and 7mate does not have rights to show any of them?
Thanksgiving games usually fall under a different rights provision than standard Thursday night games.
Amazon is getting a Friday night game the following day in lieu of their usual Thursday night game, so maybe Seven will get that?
Amazon’s game is exclusive globally. So it won’t be in 7 or espn here
Seven will show Heroes & Legends – Sports Australia Hall of Fame 2025, on Saturday night, December 6, following stumps at the second Ashes test in Brisbane. It features in-depth interviews with the 2025 Inductees, Legends and Award Winners.
