The Footy Show - Brayshaw Out

You'd almost think his departure would improve that abhorrent excuse for "entertainment," but all I needed to read was Hutchy to realise this is a break-even outcome.

    Oh no!!! Now we won't hear James say " Nicky Dal this Nicky Dal that " any more. Now I'm really upset !!!

    Brayshaw has obviously upset somebody - off the cricket and now the footy show.  Not good for your self esteem to be replaced by the moronic Hutchy. Even more reason not to watch it.

    Not sure what career he now has....radio possibly...

    Must have been caught reading a book to get turfed out of the team.

    I am curious to know what he has done apart from being his usual obnoxious self.

    Not a great Footy Show fan, but when I do watch it, I thought Rebecca Maddern and Brayshaw were ok together.

    But to replace him with Hutchison!?!? A surly, sefl-inflated grand stander who likes to take a contrary position on most subjects to make him look intelligent (which never works) and who does not let co-hosts finish their sentences because he has another pearl of wisdom to share  or another contrary statement to make. The worst footy person on TV, and that is a huge statement considering some of the gits who get given air time. 

    Nothing of substance holding the Footy Show together now. The bell is now tolling...

    At this point they should just bring back Ed and Trevor Marmalade for a farewell season and then just salvage the whole set (and/or its hosts) for glue.

    Astute move by Brayshaw. Couldn't leave with Lyon. Newman can't keep going. Best time possible to price yourself out and get another position while your profile is highest.

    Could not agree more - after the first couple of years, the show seemed to pride itself on being boorish, mundane and dull.

    To now recruit a balding sock puppet like Hutchison surely suggests the end is nigh.

    Intelligence and the Footy Show are oxymoronic.

    Listeners to his Sounding Board podcast will know the real Hutchy does appear to be a understandingly flawed person, a loyal friend, a cunning and eager businessman and a savvy media mind. The footy classified Hutchy is largely an act and he suffered this year from no Garry Lyon and Lloyd battling along in the 4th chair.

    He could do well on the footy show. Bec Maddern has proven herself to be a pretty decent host. 

    The issue with the show is that it's Sam Newman's show. Everything revolves around him. And he hasn't changed his act in 20 years and it's more than worn thin with most of the viewers. Given that he's the centre of the show, the show also has struggled to adapt to the change in AFL media circumstances and technology. 

    There's no need to watch the footy show for the teams anymore. There's little need to watch it for news or opinion on footy stories besides the occasional interesting Damo news break. 

    If I were in charge I'd probably just carry on with Sam as the show whilst enough idiots watched it but it must be getting close to having to really reinvent itself and not just shuffle hosts in around Sam.

    I heard that. Anything else maybe?? Seems unusual to cut your nose off like that....

    I agree. Good move by Brayshaw. Once Sam moves on that show is gone gone.

    I saw the headline and thought the show might improve, but then I saw that Hutchy is coming an and realised that the steady decline is ongoing.

    So you will have two ambulance chasers on the show instead of one...

    Havent watched innyears so dont really care, its not like they talk about football on their anyway.

    This is the reason I rarely watch it. They focus on side issues, silliness and Sam's personality quirks. It is the Footy Personality Show and has very little to say or offer about the actual games played or the games coming.

    When "The Footy Show" started the idea was based on the old "World of Sport", mixing football with larger than life personalities like Dyer, Davis and Richards among others.

    Light on football & personalities it has fallen way short of that goal.

    Are you guys talking about Brayshaw or Hutchy?

    Hutchy. The classic hands-it-out-but-can't-take-it rissole who is quick to pounce when he sees a weakness, and clings to it like a dog to a bone, but when the tables are turned, somehow the conversation is immediately steered to something else.

    Are channel 9 so bereft of ideas and talent that Hutchy seemed like the best choice available? (He asks, knowing the answer before he even types the question.)

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
