 Channel 7 set to call AFL games from remote bunker to adhere to social distancing rules

Channel 7 is confident viewers won’t notice a significant difference in its revamped AFL coverage, which will include commentating games without being at the venue.

fox sports has been doing it for years during the escort community service cup

makes no difference - a lot of them are still terrible play-by-play and 'special' commentators

fox generally has a body on the ground so it'll be interesting to see whether 7 do

is bruce going to be calling from a bunker in adelaide while the others are in melbourne?

    the Crows training saga could have serious consequences. AFL are talking premiership points and/or suspensions according to Caroline Wilson talking on 3aw.

    She also let on that clubs were told that a player breaking social distancing laws could look at a season long suspension.

    Wow that’s ramped up!!

    I heard a News Report this afternoon where it was said that nothing would happen. I am glad things have changed. 
     

    I am sick of Sportsman setting their own agendas. 
    social Distancing is 1.5 metres

    Deal with it

    the SA Police let them off with a warning but the AFL penalty is yet to be decided. I suspect that it will be financial only but Gil may wish to stamp his authority. Suspension of the coaching staff involved could be the halfway house.

    Hehe a big penalty will go a long way towards easing the supposed Vic-bias tensions!

    WA Premier keeps on saying they wont lift the border restrictions so no idea of when WA may open.

    The plus is that they have as I understand been letting in fifo mining workers all along so there is some precendence for exceptions.

    WCE v Richmond or Collingwood at Perth would be  a nice opening round game

    Not doing themselves any favours, especially if they want to lobby to move the GF in future.

    I’m not sure if this has already been discussed but with the NT pushing their case saying they can have crowds I wonder whether (like the Suns) we’re pushing to still play our usual Alice Springs game this year. Would people here be supportive of it?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
