AFL 360 - (and other Foxtel footy programs)

[Dogwatcher]

Crap. I deserved that whack.
I'll fall on my sword on that one.

The front bar beat the footy show even more convincingly in Melbourne this week in their 2nd clash.

I know people on here bag the Front Bar a bit, but I tape it (we got it at midnight last night!!), and always has quite a few laughs, much more than the Footy Show lately.

Getting back on track with Caro and now you mention our ex-chairman JB....

How wrong she was with this article and one of the few times I've heard her say "I was wrong" and apologised.

I started reading this (thanks for the link) and realised why I don't read any of her stuff any longer.

Spiteful rubbish that serves no purpose other than to embarrass herself.

Anyone see/endure the Footy Show last night? Sammy Newman apparently tight-lipped in sooky-la-la mode, and rumours are the show will get the arse and the end of the year.

No I missed it.
When Sam actually talks footy he is very good to listen too. Just he doesnt do it enough and feels he has a on-air persona to keep up with.
The Footy Show as fellow posters have mentioned has been ordinary for a number of years.
Bec feels the need to scream to try and make something exciting...Hutchy....please. he is as bad as Robbo.

Pity his on-air persona is now that of a cranky old man that needs his bedpan emptied. Used to be sharp and witty 20-odd years ago, I used to enjoy his shtick back then.

His witty retorts are the same belittling condescending barbs he used 20 years ago. Nothing has changed.

Yeah we keep hearing how generous and kind he is...
Well he put a nail in his friends coffin last night with the footy show...no chance it will survive after this year.
I watched The Front Bar and they took the piss out of everyone and everything, and it was brilliant! Loved it.

Agreed, I'm a fan too. Sam Pang's dry wit is great. They also seem to play a good dose of classic footy video, which is good to see.

I think most people would be, bar Mick Molloy who I think is a bit stale, but I've never really been a fan of his.

Good enough for Basil Fawlty, good enough for me.

Yeah, Mick's definitely past it, but with the alternative for footy entertainment on Channel 9, then he's up there with Graham Kennedy!

Collingwood president and former Footy Show Eddie McGuire will reportedly return to his seat in the host chair as Channel Nine get set to shake up the long-running show.

The Herald Sun has reported on Friday afternoon that McGuire will replace Craig Hutchinson as the main host, and will host the show alongside Rebecca Maddern and Sam Newman, who will keep his spot on the desk.

Next step is to turf Dave Hughes. Have him on as a bit part person if they need too, but not as a panellist ffs

[Spargo]

That'll be a kick in the guts for that grub Hutchy.
Love it

[Trader]

Thank god Hutchy is gone!
Not enough for me to start watching again, but it's a big step in the right direction!

press conference at MCG at 4pm to announce it

Get rid of her as well!
I'm all for a female host or panellist but she needs to be the right one.

And with a slimmer Eddie back on deck, if I do choose to watch it I know I won't have to have a widescreen telly.

Dave Hughes isn't even a comedian FFS!
