AFLW returns to Your Home of Footy 7

26th August 2024

New faces and women’s footy show bolster Seven’s AFLW season nine coverage.

On the eve of the new season, the Seven Network’s AFL Women’s commentary team is locked and loaded, ready to bring fans an epic season nine of the AFLW competition. 

With fresh and familiar faces delivering all the action live, free and in HD*, there’s nowhere footy fans would rather be than on Seven and 7plus, Your Home of Footy.

In a massive bonus for fans, dual AFLW Best and Fairest Award winner and South Australian women’s football icon, Erin Phillips, will join Seven’s AFLW team for the 2024 season following her first full season behind the mic for Seven’s men’s AFL coverage.

Fresh off the back of her decorated career with Adelaide and Port Adelaide, Phillips will be part of Seven’s commentary team for the opening clash between the Sydney Swans and Collingwood, under the Friday night lights at North Sydney Oval from 7.00pm AEST live on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus.

In addition to the team’s new recruit, Seven also welcomes back a star-studded line up of the game’s best callers and experts in 2024, including Jason Bennett, Libby Birch, Nigel Carmody, Natalie Edwards, Melissa Hickey, Abbey Holmes, Sam Lane, Kate McCarthy, Alister Nicholson, Sarah Olle and Jo Wotton.

Seven’s AFLW team will also include 7NEWS’ Ryan Daniels, Theo Doropoulos, Anna Hay, Kate Massey, Alissa Smith and Laura Spurway for matches in their home states. Joining them will be former AFLW player Akec Makur Chuot, in her commentary debut.

Throughout Round One, a group of the game’s most well-known voices – Matthew Richardson, Dale Thomas and Nathan Jones – will also form part of Seven’s commentary.

 

Following the excitement of Round One, footy fans will be treated to more women’s footy content when Seven launches its brand new weekly AFLW talk show, Talking W, starring host Abbey Holmes and expert panelist Kate McCarthy, alongside a rotating group of current and former players.

 

Every Monday night, Abbey and Kate will be met by a special guest to tackle all the biggest women’s footy headlines dominating the news cycle, while providing expert match analysis from the previous round, live and free on 7plus.
