The "Footy" Show

The Febes
in Melbourne Demons

Can't wait for the real footy to start & Marngrook (SBS) is a pleasent low key change.

I could not agree more. I have watched Marngrook for 2 years and despite its B grade set and appearance, it truly grows on you each time you watch it. They take the [censored] out of each other briefly which at times can be classic, but they move on very quickly to footy matters. I have njoyed Thursday nights in the past starting off with marngrook and then switching to TFS but after Thursdays show, along with most others on this forum, I doubt I will be switching to channel 9 at 930pm any more. TV will be switched off and I will get another hour of guitar in which i otherwise would not!

By the way DL I think it is on Channel 31??? Correct me if wrong!

    I'd watch it but I get very poor reception on Channel 31.

    The Foxtel AFL teams show which is on this year @ 6.30pm is essential viewing. You get the teams, good serious footy discussion, a bit of humour and very little of the trite schoolboy smut that characterises TFS.

    Adam Cooney was the best thing about that show on Thursday night.

    Last year I watched the sow for the first time in years to see a segment on the MFC Debt demolition.

    The show began with a juvenile no humour phallic joke. Its was not funny when first said but that did not prevent the joke from being recycled ad nauseam for the next half hour.

    The guest players brainlessly read off idiot cards (appropriate?) even when what they had to say was out of context to what was said before.

    It seems the show is now hooked on an unsuccessful formula. Good riddance.

    I also recorded it on Foxtel IQ, WJ, and sped through it , only to see them give scant attention to our great sponsorship news.

    There was one segment which interested me though , where a few players were interviewed and asked if they could name 5 AFL umpires.Only Stuart Dew had a clue.

    Does it still happen where the umps come into the teams room(formerly to check safety of footy boot stops, and presence of sharp rings etc)?

    They did the only time I've been in the rooms before an AFL game(in Adelaide about 6 yrs ago.)

    If so, I think players should be informed beforehand who the Umps are, their first names, if it's a milestone game for them etc.

    They should be treated with respect, and wished luck, etc.

    Apart from being common decency, it could just add that one percent, which could end up being significant. (It strikes me that a lot of umpires are easily affected by outside influences!)

    I thought the way the players on the Footy Show talked about them was appalling(no Dees, I'm glad to say).

    Well it seems I am not the only one of the opinion that this is time that could be better spent. I am very disappointed with GL as a host because I just don't think he fills the role very well. I am not an Eddie fan but he was certainly much better, especially the pathetic co-host. Average cricketer and less so as a personality.

    Terrible to have to admit it but I also watched the rugby equivalent and it was so superior it was unbelievable. When the likes of Newman make Could play the game and knew when to quit but unfortunately he has forgotten now.

    Anyone else as impressed with Russel Crowe as I am. Certainly knows the game and his insight into the future of the game makes me wish he was involved in AFL. Wonder if he would like to get aboard the Deewagon?

    Ironic that it is called The Footy Show when that is the least talked about topic!!

    I watched it for our sponsor announcement, the preseason lunch and also Hutchy... and of course the news on sylvia!!

    Marmalade used the same jokes from year to year and was old and boring - just look at the circles under the clowns eyes.. the bloke in the warmups, jeremy cawley, is much funnier...

    Hutchy is honest and think that his stories should be treated by the show with greater respect, hence the new set for him.

    as for the players, it just confirms that if they did not make it as footballers, then the unemployment rate would be up a few more percent!!

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
