Thread: AFL footy show

  1. #1

    AFL footy show

    Watched the show today (recorded last night), and what a vic-centric show. I know I shouldn't be surprised at that.
    They previewed 3 of the 1st finals match-up. Guess which one didn't get a mention?
    They had past players on from the clubs
    Pies had Daicos, Eagles had McKenna
    Geelong had Stoneham, Melbourne had Neitz
    For the Tigers/Hawks game they had Terry Wallace who played for both teams
    For the Swans/Giants game NOT A MENTION.
    Why do I bother?

    Don't.
    I watch the one of Channel 7 with Sam Pang and Mick Molloy.
    A much better show.
    Marngrook is also an awesome show.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Stopped watching the Footy Show about ten years ago, probably longer and now that Fatneck is back on it, I will never again.....Front Bar is all over it but lacks serious footy analysis.....for that, I watch Marngrook, who do actually treat the league as a 'national' league.

    Love both of those shows. Also the back page although it is not strictly AFL related.

    The Footy Show needs to be put down. It has gone passed it's use by date. Before the internet it was a must watch to find out the INS and OUTS each week. It's not required anymore. And Sam Newman is an embarrassment.

    The Front Bar consistently beats it in the ratings.

    I watched it back when just for the team changes. Once they were on the internet I stopped. I doubt anyone on here will be offended but it appeals to the lowest common denominators in society, the types who watch reality TV. How are The Footy Show ratings going? I know it was almost done a while back.

    Now the lowdown has taken over for this on T.V

    I do watch some Reality tv 😜 but definitely not the footy show. (Although I admit to watching the grand final episodes in '14 & '16.)

    I think I heard that the footy show rated only 120,000.

    Looks like if you cross Eddie you are gone.
    Reports are that Damien Barrett won't be there next year, Sam Newman either (about time). Not sure about Fev,

    Right, so in Melbourne there is a TV show that has both Sam Newman AND Brendan Fevola on it? That is scary.

    I thought Melbourne was just funky restaurants on Lt Collins St, exhibitions at the NGV, IPAs at Riverland and then a leisurely
    walk to the MCG. But no, there is a dark side they never mention in the tourism ads.

    The footy show is a very old format. It's pretty much the hey hey it's Saturday format with some talk about Collingwood.

    The style these days is to have comedians rather than hosts.
