Who are the 7AFL commentators? Football’s No. 1 commentary team is primed and ready to bring fans an epic 2023 AFL season in what is set to be an exciting race to September. With some fresh and familiar faces delivering all the action live and free, there’s no other place footy fans will want to be than on Seven, your home of footy. In a bonus for fans, much-loved Collingwood and Carlton cult hero, Dale Thomas, will join Seven’s AFL broadcast in a field commentary role across the 2023 season, while current Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield will step behind the Seven mic, kicking off with a Saturday night appearance in Round 1.
The following night Collingwood - who missed out on a grand final berth last year by the barest of margins - will take on reigning premier Geelong in another eagerly anticipated blockbuster. There will be Thursday night games for the first five rounds of the season and Round 4 will be massive, with a double-header on Good Friday (April 7), a Thursday night cracker between Brisbane and Collingwood at the Gabba, and the traditional Easter Monday clash between Geelong and Hawthorn. The Anzac games again fall on Round 6, with the Anzac Eve battle between Melbourne and Richmond on Monday night (April 24) at the MCG tipped to be massive. Collingwood and Essendon will again hog the Anzac Day limelight on Tuesday afternoon (April 25).
Can Geelong go back-to-back, will Carlton break their finals drought, will the highly fancied Brisbane Lions get their hands on the silverware, or will Melbourne strike back after winning the flag in 2021?
