Legendary sports broadcaster Bruce McAvaney will host Seven’s AFL coverage for the 2025 season.

This marks a homecoming of sorts for McAvaney, who first joined Seven’s AFL commentary team in 1990, and went on to call over 1,000 games, including 20 AFL Grand Finals. He has also hosted the Brownlow Medal awards night a record 21 times.

Last year he joined the network for its AFL Finals series coverage, and was also heard on air as part of ABC Radio’s Olympic Games call. In 2025, McAvaney will host Seven’s coverage across Sunday nights and marquee matches.

Thank goodness. An expert in all aspects who knows not only the historical relevance [quite unbelievable and brings so much more to the telecast] but actual understanding of less-is-more a la Martin Tyler EPL etc. comment when relevant to let us watch the game. Certain winning decision, hope others take note. With any luck hopefully this extends to horse racing; and encyclopaedic knowledge.
