The Fox Footy team will hit the road this week, making their way to Adelaide for the festival of footy that is Gather Round.
The Footy kicks off on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings direct from Adelaide Oval when AFL 360 will host special live audiences. Guests this week include South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas, AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan, dual Crows premiership captain Mark Bickley, Port Adelaide star Travis Boak, Adelaide veteran Rory Sloane and Gold Coast captain Touk Miller.

Fox Footy experts Dermott Brereton, Nathan Buckley, David King, Leigh Montagna, Jordan Lewis and Eddie Betts will also join the desk to preview an exciting line-up of matches all taking place in the City of Churches.
The Fox Footy commentary teams will cover all the action of every game live and direct from each stadium, beginning with the blockbuster opener on Thursday night between Adelaide and Carlton and finishing with a bang when top-of-the-table St Kilda clash with Collingwood on Sunday as part of a national exclusive on Fox Footy, available on Foxtel and Kayo Sports.

On Saturday evening in prime-time Mark Howard, Kath Loughnan, Jonathan Brown and Nathan Buckley make their much-anticipated return to Best on Ground for the first time this year. The foursome will be joined by footy fans live from the Fox Footy stage at Adelaide Oval.
Fox Sports executive director Steve Crawley said earlier this year: “The feeling at Fox Footy is one of great excitement and expectation after a record-breaking season last year. We have a new rights deal that is signed and waiting to commence, giving us greater opportunity to entertain our growing audiences. At day’s end, you’re only as good as the football and AFL football is the best of the best.”
