2013-09-06_1049The 2013 AFL finals series kicks off tonight and Seven has supplied details of its broadcast schedule on Seven and 7mate (broadcast in SD).

Saturday night pre-show coverage includes both David Koch and Eddie McGuire joining the panel together.

In the first week of finals, Friday Night Football sees reigning premiers Sydney travel to the MCG to confront ladder leaders Hawthorn in a re-match of last year’s grand final – and with a place in the preliminary final up for grabs. With former Brisbane coach Michael Voss on deck in commentary for the first time, we catch up with Buddy Franklin at half-time and gain an insight into Swan’s power forward Kurt Tippet and his life in Sydney.

On Saturday Arvo Football it will be an historic day with the first ever finals match to be played at Simonds Stadium in Geelong as the Cats host Fremantle in the second qualifying final with Michael Voss again suiting up in commentary alongside the rest of the team.

On Saturday Night Footy we return to the MCG for a mouthwatering elimination final between the Pies and Power. The pre-game show will be hosted inside the Port Adelaide rooms, with the two opposing presidents David Koch and Eddie McGuire joining the panel together.

Hawks’ skipper Luke Hodge is another guest, while Collingwood’s Ben Hudson takes the lie detector test. In the last match of the weekend on Sunday Football, the much-hyped Richmond confronts Carlton in front of what promises to be a packed MCG. Nick Riewoldt joins us as an expert commentator, and we also speak with his cousin Jack Riewoldt ahead of his first final and Carlton’s dynamic duo down back, Andrew Walker and Kade Simpson.

    It is up to Channel 7 if they want to broadcast the game in HD on 7mate. I really doubt that 7 would ever broadcast the game in HD at all as their V8 have gone backwards. Umm ONE broadcasts F1 and MotoGP in HD and it seems to get the ratings for the network and it doesn’t seem to be a problem to them unless if you are AEST

  2. I know its not in HD but atleast its Live all around the nation. Looking forwrd to the I just love the footy on 7. I think in time 7 will broadcast all their Live Sport on HD but for now be happy with Live all around the nation, these things take time, the decision maker often look closely at the money and how much it will cost at this stage the 7 executives have decided that HD is too expensive.

  3. The channel might be capable of HD but doesn’t mean seven will record it or broadcast it in HD like what is happening now with 7 Mate.

    At least with the NRL on nine you can watch it on fox sports on replay in HD. Last nights game looked great.

  5. what a shock another year, another leap backwards by 7. the only channel that refuses to give its broadcast in HD. i hope some time in the near future Foxtel get the rights to every AFL game so we can get the blockbusters and Finals in HD.

    childish by 7 for not giving Foxtel a HD broadcast. absolute joke, no-wonder why FTA is going the way of newspapers.
