The Footy Show officially axed.



Recommended Posts

Trevor Marmalade, Sam before he became the old man yelling at cloud (and when it was still cool to be a sexist old flog), and it being the quickest way to find out who was in the team are my memories of TFS. Don’t reckon I’ve watched an episode since the early 2000s at best.

Some years ago I knew a girl who attended the same high school as Jacko. She told me he was exactly the same at school as we saw him playing football and the way he spoke in public. No way did he put on an act. That was his true self. (According to her).

He was certainly a character...  & really,  I'm glad he started his career with us.

I think we should celebrate that fact,  and one of the biggest characters in the game.

I stopped watching the same time The Ox copped a cream pie in the face. 

That was a turning point for the footy show and it said clearly,  that it was about media players,  and not about Footy.

Sam took two tumbles at the same time,  in that show...  one was witnessed...  and one was on a parallel universe...  the subconscious universe of respect lost.

All downhill sailing,  from that point.

A Peter-Hillier-esque level of comedy but was all eyes when teams were named.

Short of seeing a premiership, I think Wacko Jacko's handstand protest after remenstrating with goal ump is my greatest footballing witnessed moment - was anyone else there?

The Footy Show died with Gary Lyon's departure in my opinion. All down hill since then.

They kept the show treading water with Gazza, but only just. 

It was just Sams mirror,  me,  me,  me,  me.  and so on... .  geez that bloke has stooged Ch-9  for  $quillion$.

 

I'm just glad its over,  now maybe footy can make a comeback.

Lets get rid of  Gillnet McL...

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
