Broadcasting legend Bruce McAvaney returns to 7AFL’s coverage for the 2024 finals series
One of the most familiar voices in Australian sports broadcasting is making a shock return to our living rooms for the blockbuster final three games of the AFL season.
Bruce McAvaney, the doyen of football commentary who has provided the soundtrack to some of the game’s finest moments, will take on a key hosting role with Channel 7 for this weekend’s two preliminary finals and the grand final on September 28.
McAvaney retired from full-time commentating at the end of the 2020 season, but will return to screens on Friday night when Sydney host Port Adelaide.
He will then be a part of the network’s coverage of Saturday night’s preliminary final between Geelong and Brisbane at the MCG and on grand final day a week later.
“The 2024 season has turned out to be unpredictable and thrilling,” McAvaney said.
“To have the opportunity to be part of it is a privilege and I’m incredibly excited to be joining my colleagues in broadcasting the finals on Seven.”
Seven West Media chief executive Jeff Howard described McAvaney as “a living legend and the best sports broadcaster of our generation”.
“He is part of the fabric of Seven and we are honoured that he is returning to our 7AFL coverage for the biggest three games of the season.”
Seven’s team of AFL commentators and experts also includes Brian Taylor, James Brayshaw, Luke Hodge, Abbey Holmes and Dale Thomas.
