Upheaval in AFL poaching continues with Sports Entertainment Network CEO and former Footy Classified host Craig Hutchison to host Seven’s new AFL news and opinion show The Agenda Setters.

“Hutchy” will host Monday night’s edition of The Agenda Setters joined on the panel by Kane Cornes, also formerly of Footy Classified, and Nick Riewoldt.

A further episode will screen weekly on Tuesdays -both produced by SEN-owned Rainmaker productions.

Seven Network Director of Sport, Chris Jones, said “The Agenda Setters on Mondays and Tuesdays will be appointment viewing, and together with Rainmaker, we’ve assembled an incredibly experienced production team for this show to complement our unrivalled on-air lineup.

“Unfiltered on Wednesdays is going to take us behind the curtain and give fans the opportunity to learn more about the person behind the athlete. With Hamish McLachlan at the helm, viewers will be granted the best storytelling possible with the biggest and most fascinating names in the game,” he said.

“At Seven, we can’t wait to bring footy fans more content than ever before, every week of the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season on Seven and 7plus.

“From mid-week footy analysis headlined by new signings Kane Cornes, Craig Hutchison and Nick Riewoldt alongside our existing group of AFL experts, to light-hearted footy content midweek, all before the first bounce on Thursday Night Footy, there has never been a more exciting time to be an AFL fan,” he said.

Hutchison said: “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,” he said.
