That’s the last day of 2025 AFL trade period. The episode will provide a wrap of the player trade during the two week period.

I assume this is an error from Seven and they mean Luke Hodge….Brad Hodge was a cricketer!

Apparently the show is set to expand to 3 episodes per week next year. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

I thought two nights of Footy Classified and Agenda Setters was more than enough. Don’t know if the third night is needed.

I preferred the 7pm slot as I find there is usually nothing on to watch at that time leading into the 7.30 evening shows.

I actually don’t mind this show - but is three nights in a row too much?
Got to give Seven some value to the money they spent for the AFL, i guess.
I agree - IMO, the Tuesday show is a bit pointless as not much news occurs apart from tribunal hearings. Should just be Monday to review the previous round, and Wednesday to look at the round ahead.

I think Monday & Wednesday is the perfect mix.
Monday = previous round recap
Wednesday = preview up coming round

Despite the premature end to the Women’s Test Cricket (that was taking up the 7.30pm timeslot on 7Mate) The Agenda Setters will still only be broadcast on the main channel tonight both AFL and NRL.
Start time tonight has been pushed pack to 9:20 pm (and 10:20pm) thanks to overrun from Idol.

Are they both (RL & AFL) prerecorded earlier in the day I’m guessing

At least one has to be as they use the same set.

‘It was a deep fake’: Cornes’ slip of the tongue ruffles feathers at Channel 7
Kane Cornes has blamed AI for an embarrassing slip of the tongue while hosting The Agenda Setters this week.
Cornes welcomed viewers back from the break on Tuesday night and accidentally called the program the name of its rival.
“Welcome back to Footy Classified,’’ he said.
None of his fellow panellists picked up on the error but it was later cut from the Channel 7 app.
“I think it was AI,’’ Cornes said. “It was a deep fake.”
Cornes said he wasn’t aware he’d said the wrong thing until the production staff scrambled.
