We just love the footy.

The Toyota AFL Finals Series, the Toyota AFL Grand Final exclusively, the Brownlow Medal, Friday Night, Saturday Afternoon, Saturday Night and Sunday Afternoon Football are all on Seven in 2012.

Australia’s favourite callers Bruce McAvaney and Dennis Cometti return as do experts Leigh Matthews, Tim Watson, Tom Harley and Matthew Richardson.
Seven also welcomes Brian Taylor, Michael Malthouse, Luke Darcy, Cameron Ling, Brett Kirk, Hamish McLachlan and Basil Zempilas to its AFL commentary team.

Together they are some of the biggest names in football – and they’ll all be at the home of football, Channel 7.

In 2012 we promise to entertain, inform and bring the most comprehensive coverage of our great Australian game.

Our award winning pregame shows will feature leading football journalists along with our special commentators who will address all the major issues and put footy’s biggest names under the microscope each weekend.

Once again 3AW is committed to bringing the most exciting calls, the latest news and the most forthright, experienced and informed views to the airwaves every weekend.

In 2012, Triple M calls will go further around Australia than ever before, via Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and now 929.5FM Perth.

The National Indigenous Radio Service (NIRS) will enter its fifteenth year of AFL match coverage in 2012.

With a commitment to a high quality broadcast, the NIRS is also a vehicle that provides opportunities for current and former Indigenous players to be involved in the media under the broad banner of AFL Indigenous Broadcasting.

A minimum of three matches are covered each round and broadcast via a vast network of some 200 plus community stations right across the country, including Regional Qld, NT, WA, SA, Victoria and NSW. Major city coverage is also possible via Brisbane, Darwin and Perth. All games covered are also streamed live via afl.com.au.

Apart from the broadcast coverage itself, the product of AFL Indigenous Broadcasting is used as a training platform and vehicle that provides current and former Indigenous AFL players with an employment pathway and opportunities within the media.

Additionally, with the support of the Federal Government, via the “Learn, Earn Legend” initiative, AFL Indigenous Broadcasting is also used as the brand to promote positive educational, lifestyle and health related messages to other Indigenous and non-Indigenous people right across Australia.
