His schtick comes straight from 1984. Not the book - the year.

Lol and ROFL as they say.!!

Nice one.

It is curious. He was a rare talent of Orwellian proportions. At times, dare I say, he was Brando like. Those expressions, the sincerity, that laugh....he had it all.

Was he sponsored by Western Star?

Hey, how come this website edits the word [censored]? It does have a legitimate, non-obscene meaning, such as what you do to a balloon with a pin.

And how come such words are censored, when apparently blaspheming is OK.

Care factor on this is zero as I can't remember the last time I watched that dreadful programme, however, Brayshaw added absolutely nothing to nine's already very ordinary cricket commentary team so I am not surprised.

Interesting to note that the Herald-Sin rated this story as worthy of front page headline and a page 3 story.

FMD!!!

 

 

Agreed, I decided many years ago that watching the footy show was a poor reflection on me. Life was too short to watch such infantile pathetic drivel. 

Hopefully, the death rattle has sounded for this show. It is well passed its use by date and should be guillotined as soon as possible. And Sam should be first cab off the rank.. 

Brayshaws presence was not the high point of that show. He is the sycophants sycophant. He was only there to laugh at Billy Brownless, roll his eyes after any reference to North Melbourne, say Nicky Dal at any opportunity and rub his hands together at the start of the show. Tasks he managed to master. He's run out of ideas now.

Excuse my obvious ignorance, but WTF is a nicky dal?

Nicky Dal = Nick Dal Santo.

 

Brawshaw gone, oh how I will miss him, somewhat like flushing the toilet.

Brayshaw was always admiring of "rigs" - He seemed to be always the older guying using a young man's parlance to demonstrate his currency


maybe now he will get a normal haircut and leave the spikey cut to gen-y. he can't play peter pan forever

A giant amongst giants.

It's been a bad week or so for the Brayshaw clan with James getting boned and Hamish missing out on being drafted. Hopefully, Angus makes up for both of them.

Hard to believe that pompous blowhard Hutchy has got the main Footy Show gig when one remembers his short term role as footy reporter some years ago when he was utterly rattled by Sam's needling .  Cracks about his weight and receeding hair left him a humiliated mess .

This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators, save only he,Did that they did in envy of Caesay; He only, in a general honest thoughtAnd common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements so mixd in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, This was a man!

Be nice if you had attributed this to Shakespeare.

Help me out here, Stretch. I've already wasted too much time trying to work out who's who. These words are said by Marc Anthony about Brutus, one of Julius Caesar's assassins. Are you saying Hutchy is Brutus...because that would make James Brayshaw Julius Caesar. And it would also make Hutchy noble. That doesn't seem right.  

 

But is hutchy an honourable man?

Was james seeking a crown?

If James was seeking a crown he need only seek out a fellow North Melbourne president Allen Aylett who was also a fine dentist.

I'm predicting Hutchy's hair to make a full recovery before the first Footy Show next year.

PD, i think you are overestimating him. He is at best the sycophant's sycophant's sycophant, but more realistically the sycophant's (x3) sychophant. If you follow my drift. 

 

I'm not a fan of Brayshaw but replacing him with Hutchy is a mistake imo. Too serious and when he gets comical it's embarrassing and forced. At least Brayshaw had a bit of larikan in him, Hutchy's a newsbreaking reporter. 

Shouldve gone with totally fresh blood, Nathan Brown would've been my call. 

Its a dying show, Hutchy could bring about them ending or totally reformatting it.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
