Channel 7 has announced the worst kept secret in football TV with industry giant Craig Hutchison making the move to the network. Seven’s Wednesday morning confirmation also showed its hand to rival Channel 9 as the networks prepare to go head to head in 2025. The footy media is undergoing one of its biggest shake-ups and Hutchison is one of the final pieces Seven is putting in place to challenge Nine’s mid-week dominance. One of the biggest moves announced recently was Fox Footy’s coup in signing up legendary AFL/VFL star turned four-time premiership coach Leigh Matthews. Four-time premiership player Shaun Burgoyne and Geelong champion Tom Hawkins will also join Fox Footy’s commentary team in 2025.

Supplied by Channel 9: Craig Hutchison, Eddie McGuire, Sam Newman, Rebecca Maddern and Billy Brownless. Hutchison, meanwhile, is returning to Seven after previously being with the network for 18 years. Wednesday’s announcement showed Hutchison will be directly going up against his former colleagues from Channel 9’s Footy Classified when he hosts Seven’s new The Agenda Setters program. The footy panel show will feature on Monday and Tuesday nights. Hutchison will host the Monday edition. Seven is also rolling the dice with another football program ‘Unfiltered’ that will be screened on Wednesday nights alongside the popular ‘Front Bar’ hosted by Mick Molloy. Hamish McLachlan will host the new Wednesday night project. Hutchison’s production company Rainmaker will be producing several of the new AFL programs on Seven. The SEN chief executive will be forced to cut all ties with Nine as a result. Seven announced in a statement big signings Kane Cornes and Nick Riewoldt will join Hutchison on the Monday night. Seven’s football productions will look almost unrecognisable in 2025 with veteran football journalist Caroline Wilson also saying her move to the network is imminent. Wilson on Tuesday teased there was going to be “interesting” news from within the footy media industry and her information was spot on. Nine’s biggest move has been the hiring of Essendon great James Hird. Seven has also said goodbye to some talent with Luke Darcy stepping away from his media roles with the network and Triple M. Tim Watson is also finishing up at the end of 2024. Presenter Rebecca Maddern is also going to take up a newly-created role as chief sports presenter with Channel 7. And then there as one. Picture: Channel 9 Seven’s new direction to beef up its football content comes after years of private concern from the AFL that the network had not been doing enough to promote the game. That is about to change. Dramatically. Hutchison said in a Channel 7 statement: “Seven is the home of free-to-air AFL, and has an unrivalled history, legacy and contribution to AFL football. These new shows will shape and set the agenda of the weekday discussion of football, which is at the heart of the game. “The media and opinions around the game is the zeitgeist of what fuels Australian football, and we will bring the game’s biggest names to the table and call it as it is. “And on a personal level, to return to Seven where I spent many years earlier in my career is an honour.” During the 2025 AFL season, Fox Footy commentary and production will be available on all games for the first time along with no ad-breaks during play. With Fox Footy able to commentate all nine games each round, it’s expected the likes of Gerard Whateley and Matt Hill will call games on the network.

Champions League: Bayer Leverkusen soar without Boniface; Lookman ignored as Atalanta smash Young BoysCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 2) has to do now is beat Michigan at home next Saturday and it will earn a return to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2020 and get a rematch with No. 1 Oregon. The Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 in a wild one back on Oct. 12. The Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1, No. 5 CFP) had their best chance to beat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988 but were hurt by special teams mistakes and disrupted by an Ohio State defense that sacked quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times. “In life, all good things come to an end,” Indiana coach Curt Cignetti said. Late in the first half, Indiana punter James Evans fumbled a snap and was buried at his own 7-yardline with the Buckeyes taking over. That turned quickly into a 4-yard TD run by Henderson that gave the Buckeyes a 14-7 lead. Early in the second half, Caleb Downs fielded an Evans punt at the Ohio State 21, raced down the right sideline, cut to the middle and outran the coverage for a TD that put the Buckeyes up 21-7. It was the first time a Buckeye returned a punt for a touchdown since 2014. Howard finished 22 for 26 for 201 yards. Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 80 yards and a TD. “Our guys just played with a chip today, and that’s the way you got to play the game of football,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. Indiana scored on its first possession of the game and its last, both short runs by Ty Son Lawson, who paced the Hoosiers with 79 rushing yards. Rourke was 8 for 18 for 68 yards. “We had communication errors, pass (protection), every time we dropped back to pass, something bad happened," Cignetti said. Indiana's 151 total yards was its lowest of the season. And it was the most points surrendered by the Hoosier's defense. The takeaway Indiana: Its special season was blemished by the Buckeyes, who beat the Hoosiers for the 30th straight time. Indiana was eyeing its first conference crown since sharing one with two other teams in 1967. That won't happen now. “Ohio State deserved to win,” Cignetti said. “They had those (third quarter scores), and we just couldn’t respond.” Ohio State: Didn't waste the opportunities presented by the Hoosiers when they got sloppy. The Buckeyes led 14-7 at the break and took control in the second half. An offensive line patched together because of multiple injuries performed surprisingly well. “We know what was at stake," Day said. “We don't win this game, and we have no chance to go to Indianapolis and play in the Big Ten championship. And that's real. We've had that approach for the last few weeks now, more than that.” Poll implications Some voters were obviously unsure of Indiana because it hadn't played a nationally ranked team before Ohio State. After this one, the Hoosiers will drop. All about Will Howard made history by completing 80% of his passes for the sixth time this season. No other Ohio State quarterback has done that. He completed his first 14 passes in a row and finished with a 85% completion rate. “I think Buckeye nation is now seeing, after 11 games, that this guy is a winner, he's tough, he cares about his teammates, he's a leader,” Day said. Up next Indiana hosts Purdue in the regular-season finale next Saturday. Ohio State hosts rival Michigan on Saturday. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
