Shut up Davey you Goose.
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

I suggest that you set out to get along with other members, and avoid any criticism of Davey

Channel 7 reveals its new star-studded team

Channel 7 reveals its new star-studded team

Michael Warner From: Herald Sun October 27, 2011 12:00AM

MICK Malthouse has signed with Channel 7 as a new era dawns in football broadcasting.

Seven unveiled a star-studded stable of expert commentators for next season headed by recruits Brian Taylor, Luke Darcy, Cameron Ling, Brett Kirk and Malthouse.

Taylor has defected from Foxtel, while Darcy crosses from Channel 10, which lost the broadcast rights in this year's $1.25 billion race.

And in coming weeks Channel 9's Eddie McGuire is tipped to become the face of Foxtel's AFL coverage.

Seven will broadcast wall-to-wall footy next season on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

The station's new signings will join Leigh Matthews, Bruce McAvaney, Dennis Cometti, Tim Watson, Matthew Richardson, Tom Harley, Nick Riewoldt and Luke Hodge on a rotating roster.

Perth-based Basil Zemplis and AFL Game Day host Hamish McLachlan will also call matches next year in expanded roles.

Former Swans captain Kirk is the shock appointment, but was considered popular with players and the female demographic.

He got the nod ahead of former Bomber Matthew Lloyd, who has instead joined Nine.

Seven is also planning a new Saturday night panel show similar to Ten's Before the Game.

"This is the start of a new era for AFL on Seven," Melbourne station chief Lewis Martin said.

"We reckon we've got the best AFL commentary team in the business, some giants of the game, and these new additions only make us stronger.

"They're astute, passionate, connected to the game, and they'll give viewers an insight into the footy they won't find anywhere else."

Former Magpie coach Malthouse has signed on for one season, leaving open the option of returning to AFL coaching in 2013.

"I can't wait to get started, to be honest," Malthouse said.

"I understand why teams win and lose, I'm clinical in analysing the game, but now I'll get to do it without worrying about the result.

"And in many respects I'll have a clearer view because I'll be impartial."

Fox will broadcast the remaining five weekly home-and-away fixtures as well as simulcasts of Seven's four matches. It will also reactivate its 24-hour footy channel next year.

Seven heaven

BIG NAME recruits Mick Malthouse and Brian Taylor will spearhead Channel Seven's Saturday football coverage as the network doubles the number of games it telecasts each weekend.

Malthouse, whose 664-game coaching career - the second longest in League history - came to a close on Grand Final day last year, will feature as a specialist commentator on Seven's Saturday afternoon coverage.

Taylor, who crosses from Fox Sports, will be the front man for Seven on Saturday nights, which will include a one-hour pre-game show heading into the live coverage of the Saturday evening clash.

Seven unveiled its commentary teams for 2012 at an event in Melbourne on Thursday.

The long-standing Friday night football team will remain intact, with Bruce McAvaney and Dennis Cometti as the commentators, Leigh Matthews and Tom Harley offering special comments and Tim Watson and Matthew Richardson as the boundary reporters.

Hamish McLachlan and Basil Zempilas will call the Saturday afternoon matches, with Malthouse and Harley offering special comments and former Sydney Swans captain Brett Kirk as the boundary rider, or as Seven prefers to call it, the field commentator.

Taylor will be the sole commentator on Saturday nights, with Luke Darcy and Matthew Richardson doing special comments and just-retired Geelong premiership skipper Cameron Ling on the boundary.

As per the last few years, McAvaney and Cometti will share the call on Sundays, with Watson offering comments and either Ling or Kirk on the boundary.

Good to see Richo will be doing some special comments. Am I the only one who thinks McLachan is a stuffing clown?
