The Seven Network today announced expert commentator and St Kilda FC great, Nick Riewoldt, will join Seven’s AFL coverage in 2025.
The 336 gamer and six-time Trevor Barker Award winner is set to return home to Australian shores and will be part of the 7AFL team for season 2025 and beyond, featuring across Seven’s weekly AFL match broadcasts and soon-to-be-announced mid-week programming.
A leading voice in AFL since his retirement in 2017, Riewoldt is one of the industry’s most respected football voices and arrives at Seven with an exceptional knowledge and passion for the game. Footy fans can look forward to seeing Riewoldt on Seven and 7plus Sport multiple times a week.
Ahead of his arrival at Seven, Riewoldt said:
“After living in Cath’s hometown of Houston for two years, working full-time in stadium and event technology with PMY, we are all really looking forward to coming back to Melbourne and joining the Seven family.
“I’m excited about joining 7AFL and being part of the new vision for the network’s football coverage and programming in 2025 and beyond.
“Seven has assembled a great team and I cannot wait to get started and working alongside the team in bringing the game directly to footy fans all over Australia,”
– he said.
Seven Network Director of Sport, Chris Jones, said:
“We are beyond excited to welcome Nick to the Seven family in 2025.
“Nick is one of the game’s greatest modern-day players and an elite football analyst. He’ll be a perfect addition to our already star-studded team of 7AFL experts, callers, and hosts.
“As we expand our AFL programming, more opportunities open up for industry talent to join football’s #1 commentary team, and we can’t wait to see how Nick’s expertise will elevate and complement our already outstanding coverage in 2025,”
– he said.
Seven’s Head of AFL and Sport Innovation, Gary O’Keeffe said:
“Not only is Nick one of the industry’s most respected voices, he is also a natural leader and a brilliant football mind who brings an unbridled passion to his commentary.
“His ability to simplify complex plays for the viewer, paired with his deep understanding of the modern game will make him an invaluable addition to our already talent-stacked team.
“While our focus is set firmly on this Saturday’s 2024 AFL Grand Final on Seven and 7plus Sport, we are deep in planning to deliver more footy content than ever before in 2025, and we look forward to welcoming our new signings in the new year.”
