I beleive Jack will be on the panel tonight. He will do a great job.

I wont see it tonight, so would be great to hear how he goes and if he has any news.

Cheers

I think he will be great, look forward to watching it.

So excited! Not only do I get to see a Dees Player on the Footy Show, but they are actually GOOD in the media. Loved watching Beamer earlier in the year but Jack comes across as far more comfortable (see Before the Game) and good for a laugh. Guarantee they'll take the [censored] on his Energy Watch acting haha.

Not going to watch as I find the show to be a bore. It is nice to have some reasonably polished media performers in our side though. The years of watching Bruce and Green in front of the cameras have been a tad nauseating.

Ok thanks for letting us know Nash!

If only the show were actually good...

Well I will look forward to it. We seem to be way down the list in having players on show like this, so I see it as a positive step that we are starting to get a look in nowadays. And Jack is great on camera, so I'm very keen to see it.

There was something about DB not agreeing with the show's methods so for the most part I believe he didn't want players to appear on the show.

Really???? That's a bit bizarre I must say. Who gives a [censored] about the shows methods, it is publicity for our club. The more shows we get boys on the better IMO, regardless of their "methods".

finally a Dees player on the panel!!

we get so screwed with the panel.. only our 2nd for the year.. then you look at Cats who have someone on there EVERY week..

Jacky Watts is one of the only Melbourne players actually born with a personality too.. (but maybe not acting skills - Energy Watch).. should be good

That's typically idiotic Bailey nonsense. I don't watch the show, but we can't expect all footy players and coaches to present to the media as dry and devoid of personality as DB.

The most annoying thing about the show is the amount of time they actually give the footy players. They sit there for the entire show and say about 50 words each. they get asked 1 or 2 questions in the intro and then their tips for the game.

If you are going to have them on the show, you might as well use them. They should do a lot more.

As much as I like before the bounce, the players on the show spend more time listening to jokes rather than speaking as well.

the amazing thing i find about the footy show is that they had that stage where Sam Newman wasn't on it, they had brownless on and me and the gf would sit, watch after dinner and enjoy.... then he came back on and we watched a couple of episodes and it became that same awkward stilted sexist show it always has been.

having said that i'll watch tonight, and cringe through the awkward penis jokes that Newman doesn't let go.

I find Newman quite funny sometimes... then he will do some really awkward joke that offends a lot of people... and it's like 'bro, you didn't see that criticism coming?'

Agree wholeheartedly with the italic bit. It is funny though watching the look on Gazza and JBs faces when he does it, trying to cut him short.

Great to hear he is on tonight................some of the other players they get on are dead set morons..........Travis Cloke being the worst!

Here's to Jack raising the tone of that slop, not being dragged down to their level.

Will Damien Barrett come on and tell us that Scott Burns is a cert as the next coach again?

Gee Super, now you have made me all nervous. I actually go the news about Watts being on the panel tonight from Barrett's twitter account.

Sorry folks, the real story is that Barrett saw Watts talking to Garry Lyon and that's where the rumour originated from. The reality is that Watts was talking to Lyon about which table he is sitting on at the B&F, and if he is having the chicken or the beef.

Sorry to get your hopes up...

I guess a lot didn't support Deans methods

Cooko that may be because they have been winning Flags and we have been winning spoons!

Was there?

Can I have a refresh on that?

so why do Tiges get "Jumping" Jack, Deledio & Cotchin on it

why do Lions get Browny on it every 2nd week

why do the dogs get Barry Hall, Cooney, etc on it every couple of weeks

why do north get Boomer, petrie, swallow, etc

out of all the Melbourne clubs we are on it the least.. plus I dont see why us sucking should prevent our players being on a show?

if the argument was most of our players dont have personalities then I guess that is a fair enough..

I can't remember exactly what it was to be honest, but I do remember it mentioned around the time Beamer was on earlier this year - which had been the first time in a couple of years that there had been anyone on the panel, and someone mentioned in the thread on here that it was to do with DB.

Oh my god I always forget that The Footy Show sucks and just enjoy it for what it is!!

Then some randoms on a forum remind me that it is sexist dribble and then I just stop watching it.... Thank god people love mentioning that they don't like it so we all know and can now be further educated and grown up.

Looking forward to watching The Footy Show with the other thousands of people who do.

Absolutely, they could have gotten more out of a house brick!

Well that settles it doesn't it?

Bailey is gone. No need to forward what could only be considered spurious rumours.
