And then thinks he's really funny.

For what it's worth I stopped watching when Brownless and Crawford became semi-permanent panelists. Not only did they add nothing but took away from the show one-third of the contemporary players.

 

 

Stopped watching it around 10 or so years back right around the time I finally grew up myself and realised it was all toilet humor and zero footy analysis 

Saw a random episode at someone's house last year and I couldn't believe home much more it had deteroriated since ed and Trevor left 

It's a relic of the 90s for me... 

Anyone remember Live and kicking?  ☺

Don't watch it much at all, usually scroll through till I get the news bit from Barrett, then I'm out. But Good luck to her, at the end of the day, its another Job, high pressured and scrutinised a lot.

 

I actually find the most balanced footy discussion show to Be Talking Footy on 7mate. not a massive wrap on the panellists, but they don't scream over each other, they don't contrive arguments, they are not journo's, so you actually get footy talk that you can listen to, again, don't always agree with them, but its a watchable show.


Stopped watching the show when Trevor Marmalade left....better things to do with my Thursday nights (ironing work shirts)

It's a brilliant move, because there's only 2 possible outcomes:

1) It totally works and turns the show around, hopefully making it a bit more mature and actually about footy

2) It totally flops, Newman does what we all expect and it gets taken off the air

Win/win

Third outcome, it continues exactly the same as always, but with a female co-host added.

I wonder if she has to "bring a plate" for supper afterwards?

Oh yes Bitter.

Unfortunately you don't see the worst best  of it dc as my puerile humour is often removed by moderators who have no taste for refined scatology.

yeah sad that, confined to the internet bit bucket. what a waste of precious prose,,,,,bloody barbarians!

Don't watch the Footy Show.

Her appointment at least steers them somewhat in the direction of the 21st century.


Despite to remove the show away from the Billy/Garry issue that has clouded this season.

Watching The Footy Show cast drool over Rebecca Maddern isn't my idea of entertainment.

Agree. I could care less about what Dyson Heppel thinks about a game he's not playing and offers no insight into, or current coaches and players tiptoeing their way around copping a fine for giving an honest response.

Just give me some goddamn footy analysis.

 

And if I cared about watching the Footy Show, I'd probably be annoyed that they've added another cats person to the Geelong love-fest... but I don't.

 

 

I actually know this, and it used to bother me... but some reason I elected to stop swimming upstream.

Chalk up 1 for the ignorami.

Some people in the know would say Rebecca certainly qualifies alongside GL (if and when he returns) & to a degree SN. Some media has picked up on the fact that her now husband - Miller (Madderns 2nd marriage) - was once wed to her fellow work colleague/reporter/presenter Rahni Sadler, before Maddern had an affair with cameraman Miller allegedly away whilst working in LA on a story (work). Sadler was left heart broken with the breakup of her 12 month marriage.

It's also alleged Maddern's personal relationships since have become a little messy. This may help explain her move to Nine.

Apparently Maddern's new gig as co-host on TFS has Garry's blessing......

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
