The broadcaster has been called out — and reportedly disappointed the AFL — for a move a footy scribe says is hurting the game.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced Seven to have its commentators call games off television screens instead of attending the action in stadium and has been unclear on how it plans to approach the finals, which start at the end of the month.

“Channel 7 chose not to send one member of their AFL commentary team to the AFL-sponsored Gold Coast hub two weeks ago,” Wilson told Footy Classified. “The AFL was disappointed. Her comments sparked a spirited debate with co-panellist Craig Hutchison, who runs the SEN radio network and said her position was “tone-deaf”.Hutchison: “I feel that’s a really shallow view.”

totally agreed with Caroline ... the commentator actually made a comment couple of times already during the game .. because they are not on the ground, they cannot see what is up the field to see how the team are set up because they can only see what is at play on the TV

Who cares. Shit game anyway

Two of the worst football callers in the game it wouldn’t matter if you blindfolded them in front of the television screens or had them calling the game from two feet away.

Doesn’t concern me I muted most of the callers a couple of years ago.

Football stopped being a game years ago

Will there be any woman in the broadcasting box calling the football with the men’s club ? 7AFL 7NewsMelbourne sunriseon7
