Yes, they've specifically said they'll use their own commentary and graphics, similar to their deal with the NRL/Nine.
Only exception might be the AFL Grand Final; Fox League uses Nine's pictures for State of Origin & NRL Grand Final.
Dwayne Russell will NOT be calling Thursday night games as he will calling for SEN in that timeslot.

So having listened to the segment from yesterday, the initial rumor from gazey was "jb & bt are not doing friday nights" which got twisted by mayher into "so they're splitting them apart?", whereas I heard it as neither of them doing friday nights.
And considering there's now not one but two...
Yeah, that and Garry Lyon now co-hosting On The Couch were stinker announcements.
Leigh Matthews joining Fox I'm ambivalent about.
Gerard & Huddo comm'ing every Friday Night game is a god-tier call, imo
No, it's been confirmed 7 gets 5 Sunday games. So in total they get 81 matches (they get 24 Friday nights, not 23).
Sunday Night Football is probably not on their infographic because of how infrequent it is.
TV Tonight has revealed the name & logo for 7's alternate kids commentary (for select Sunday Arvo matches)
Hoping this is just a screenshot of a video and not the final static logo, though
I'd never heard of it until someone mentioned it elsewhere. So I quickly looked into it & it's like, ok, it is literally kids doing f1 commentary. I already knew about the Nickelodeon NFL stuff, but that seemed a bit much for even Fox to do, let alone 7, hence why I think this'll be similar to...
So Fox have released their article about the fixture and I noticed this little tidbit which was not expanded upon...
Unless I'm reading it wrong, or they've worded it wrong, it seems to mean one of two things. Either
A) The Fox Footy exclusive Saturdays in Vic deal was extended from up to Round...
Would match up with Fox's NRL coverage.
Though I hope they update the team logos.
Crows I can understand but Power dropped the thunder hand back in '19.
