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.

You like the show.

Others do not.

Their judgment is surely just as valuable as yours?

Let it go, and watch your show...

Exactly my point...

I remember when Tom Scully was on it he stated that the Melbourne Football Club was a great place to START his career....

that was jack trengove...

I dont generally watch it cos most of it is rubbish and we rarely have any mention however I thought cos we have our new coach and all that it might feature some Demon news and now, if tis true that Jack will be on, well I will tape it and watch it tomorrow.. its on too late here and some of us like our beauty sleep..

plus the added benefit of taping it is the rubbish can just be fast forwarded and only have the good bits..

I like the Footy Show. Not a serious take on footy (plenty of other shows exist for that), but fun nonetheless.

Yeah plus 1, it's a bit of fun, and they normally have some pretty decent exclusives or interviews for the serious footy nuts. I don't mind it

Ah really? [censored], it's too bad I'm working, the past few weeks it's been nothing but Collingwood, Hawthorn and Geelong on the panel. Do channel 9 have an iview like abc?

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..

Cooko, I personally think it hasn't been about our form on the field - it has been about our lack of players with personality that comes across on camera.

Bruce and Davey arent exactly extroverts.

Green and Moloney typify the term "wooden".

Sylvia is passable, but nothing special.

You wouldn't get much out of Jurrah in that environment.

That's not to say that they are in any way bad people.

We just unfortunately have had a period where our best players have not been gold media performers.

I think that will soon change.

because of Newman and his gutter talk

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.

I highly doubt that he'd get a say in whether players went on the show or not.

That is the way I will watch as well Deb.....

I don't normally watch it, as it is not on till midnight up here and I usually forget (plus I ignore the NRL version with all I have).

But I will put the IQ to work and enjoy whatever Jack has to say tomorrow!!!

And as well all the players mention have at various times made game winning performances.

We have had bugger all of those types.

We have had a captain this year that has struggled to justify his spot in the team

As well the MFC comes across to lots of outside fans as upper crust snobs.

But the most simple answer is we do not rate.

TV puts on people who draw a crowd.

The MFC is poor at that.

We start winning games and making the finals and watch the player

numbers rise on the show.

There is only one Footy show worth watching-"Marngrook"

I just get annoyed by the difference between 'what it is' and 'what it could be if done right'. I wish there was more competition out there to force them to make the hard calls to improve it. And that's all I'm contributing to the 'Footy Show' debate!

Marngrook has it all over these blokey twits

Certainly does... This is the credible show.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
