The downfall of Fox Footy.

Gary Lyon mentioned on SEN breakfast that fox will be having a massive relaunch and shake up next year when they can commentate all games with their own people. Fingers crossed they make smart decisions with who they chose to utilise but their track record recently is pretty poor.

Feel like Kane Cornes is going to be the big fish they try and build it all around.
Cornes would be a plus for Fox.

More important would be Fox stop being tight-ar*es and get their commentators to be at all interstate games in person.

Any commentator who doesn't want to leave Melbourne can be punted.

No more calling off the TV crap.

They’ll just have a local crew for SA/QLD/NSW like they do with Kath/Pav/Schofield in WA & maybe add one of the ‘big guns’ from studio.
 
For the Melbourne based games, are Fox commentators ALWAYS at the grounds? Some games I watch have the same 'feel' as the commentate-from-the-studio games.
They make it very obvious they are there. They’ll stand on the ground before the game or at half time. Suddenly, those shots mysteriously go if the game is a GWS home game.

Very true.

Add to that the pathetic low resolution camera inside the commentary box that's often used, focussing on the commentators.

Can just imagine Seven's Sunday morning show.

Jobe, Ling, Burgoyne, Cotchin and Selwood.

Yeah, nah.
You have forgotten the cherry on top. Gil's brother is back next year.

Although you think Channel 7 would realise he hasn't been missed and they aren't beholden to Gil anymore
 
Good discussion with Garry Lyon and Tom Morris on SEN earlier in the week about the situation unfolding in 2025 - who is going to be live at games, who isn't, when games will be televised and some chat around potential commentary roles. Ch 7 role obviously diluted
