The little flags for Fox are a bit silly for me. Would much rather have a small logo or at least a thumbnail pic of their jumpers.

He's saying it's about time they should.

Why is it that channel 7 only started with the scorebug in 1997? Plenty of other sporting telecasts had scorebugs years before that around the globe.
Wow: that first soccer one is delicious. Would love to see that for footy

Did channel 7's graphic change between 2012 and now?
Same reason it took them 10 years to broadcast sport in HD

score bugs started showing up from about 1994 or so, but it really didn't catch on until a few years later when every sports telecast around the world was doing it, so Ch 7/AFL were on par with the trend at the time

if heritage round ever came back, it would be neat if Ch 7 would use the corresponding graphics style of the era depicted by the jumpers if its mid 70s or later... heck, just show the physical scoreboard at the ground if its for an earlier era

No, they've stayed the same pretty much.
Be interesting if 7 use their own graphics on Sunday, or just use the RTE/TG4 graphics.

Hopefully Ch 7 continue on with these great graphics....
GEELONG CATS.....why add the Cats?
ST KILDA
NORTH MELBOURNE......why use the long name?
I mean I don't really care but just amusing that it's so ridiculous and no one has made a simple change.

They just use what the league designates them as.
Hence WEST COAST EAGLES; GOLD COAST SUNS etc.
Geelong 'rebranded' as Geelong Cats back in 2008 after their premiership the previous year because they didn't want to be known as the GFC, which at the time had negative connotations towards the global financial crisis

the last few years, I've found watching the Australian Open tennis is a good indication of if channel 7 will use new graphics in their football coverage - that's usually their first flagship event of the year, and an opportunity to reveal any new visual packages
When did Channel 7 start showing the countdown clock permanently during their broadcast?
I noticed in 1999 it was shown on an ad-hoc basis. Generally it was shown towards the end of the quarter rather than the start. Ie it remained on screen for the last few mins of the 99 prelim between Carlton and Essendon.
Could anyone confirm if the countdown clock remained on screen for extended periods of time prior to 99?

They didn't have a full time clock until 2007.
Fox Footy Mk I started the permanent countdown clock in 2002, while 10 and 9 gradually phased it in in 2003 (well technically 10 never had a full time countdown clock as they had that unprofessional 5 minute warning).

Unprofessional? How dare you.
The 5 minute warning increases the tension and excitement for the end of a game on your couch.
Give me the 5 minute warning over the countdown clock any day of the week. So much better.

Loved the 5 minute warning when watching others team play in a close game, hated it when it was my own.
The five minute warning is brilliant and really needs to make a comeback. Leo Barry's mark and Zaharakis' last gasp goal were all enhanced by the fact you didn't know exactly how long was left. It made the sound of the final siren oh so sweet, the way it should be.
Not much of a tennis watcher, however is the current series (Hopman Cup?) produced by Seven? The scoreboard in the bottom left is different.
Imagine the 2010 grand final with a 5 minute warning, would have made it even more intense at the end.
