So Gazey's mail was correct. Didn't take him as someone on the pulse of the footy media news tbh.
Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

according to the Hun:
Taylor will only partner with regular Friday night co-commentator James Brayshaw for marquee matches such as Anzac Day and finals. It’s believed McLachlan will likely replace him beside Brayshaw on Friday nights.
Taylor’s Roaming Brian segment could also move to Thursday nights as the new post-broadcast program called Extra Time moves into Fridays.
---------------
basically Thursday is the new Friday, and Friday is the new Saturday night.
Please say Bennett is doing Sundays

None of this matters. 7 have treated their audience like garbage with commentators like Cameron Ling for over a decade. We are all going to fox

Surprised that 7 would move BT from Friday night.
Not a fan but he'd at least provide a potential point of difference for viewers to Hudson and Whateley, whereas brother of and Brayshaw would be more similar to the Fox duo.
Offer contrasting styles, a bit like the ABC and Rex Hunt back in the day on the radio.
Instead 7 have gone Foxtel lite.

The only advantage Fox has over 7 these days is no ads during play.
I can 'tolerate' commentary on either networks but i don't see how people make out fox is a shining light
In terms of actual callers, asides from Huddo and Hill (I'm not throwing Whateley in until i see him call on TV) they don't seem to offer much different. The overall state of AFL commentary is garbage

Jon Anderson’s column in the Sunday Herald Sun clarified that the commentary pairings next year will be:
Thursday - BT and Hamish
Friday - Brayshaw and Alister Nicholson

Friday - Brayshaw and Alister Nicholson

When you put Hamish on anything, it feels less prime time. Certainly would take a shine Thursday for me
Friday night is interesting. I think Nicholson goes alright, i actually really enjoyed his commentary on this years prelim for a 7 game. But it seems like an odd pairing with Brayshaw, I wonder how it will balance out
Don't agree. Watch Bobby Hill (Fox) v Jamie Elliot (7) mark of the year this year. See a difference?

If you read the rest of my post, i said that Huddo and Hill call alright for fox, then you picked a highlight of huddo calling. My point still is the overall state of AFL commentary isn't that flash, but there are an okay few
So imagine for a bit, with the bobby hill mark, would you be as impressed if the fox footy commentators everyone seems to constantly complain about where working that arvo instead? Would you be as impressed if Kellie or Dwayne (or even screechy Howard) was called that mark instead?

Jason Bennett I feel sorry for as he should be calling Thursday night with Taylor but will be reduce to calling VFL Saturday’which be the new VFL match day games from 2pm to 5pm on 7 Mate
I know it's a commentary thread, but I said "see" the difference, not "hear" the difference. Ch7 changes camera angle half way through Elliot's grab, which ruins it. It's a trademark of their coverage unfortunately.

The reddit brigade think Andy Maher deserves a commentary spot.

Bennett is wasted at 7, I wish we would come back to Fox.

that's enough reddit for today...
I liked him doing the Blues finals last year, especially the Melbourne match. But I get why others can't stand him.
Agree, there is a place for that fanaticism and SEN should do more of that throughout the season not just in the finals.

I don’t mind Mahery. Passionate as they come and he’s provided some memorable commentary box moments against us the past couple of years.

Not sure that Thursday line up could get any worse. Hopefully Fox don't counter that with Russell and Underwood
BT and Hamish is an odd combo.
BT getting all the names wrong with Hamish's sucking up, boring stories and pedantry is just not something that I wish to inflict upon myself.

More likely it will be
Al and BT on Thursday
JB and Hamish on Friday
BT and Bennett on Sunday
