Maybe missed your point... but isn't Succession available on Binge (which is owned by Fox)?

    Possibly, maybe the family enjoy watching themselves being evil and disgusting!

    It is an HBO Series…

    In Australia you can only watch it on either Foxtel or Binge (owned by Foxtel).

    Is it between games on a Saturday? Because fox have a very limited window there.

    Or is it after games? In which case 10:30 on a Saturday doesn’t seem like a rating winner.

    Fox can’t ever seem to produce a decent post game highlights evening show, with a player interview and then recap of the round so far. You’d think that’s the easy and obvious thing to do.

    Why would they put it on a night when there are games on? They won't have time between games as they usually have the twilight game into the night so I assume it's after the night game which is crap, after the game I either want to revel in a victory by listening to post game dissection or switch the footy off altogether.

    Why do all the powers that be believe that fancy features (dining, shops) at Docklands and at the G as well as poor quality so-called entertainment from ex players substitute for just playing footy.

    Our great game can promote itself.

    Sounds like entertainment for the lobotomised, much like Bounce.

    It brings back a memory of a variety show on 7 during the late 60s? where each club did one show each.

    Started as cringe  worthy  vomit and evolved into a reasonable show (brought in professional singers, dancers, musicians with the players doing cameos/background).

    It will be on after the 7:25pm Fox Footy game.

    This show might be a slight upgrade on Dermie talking non stop for 50 minutes in the previous post Saturday night game show they had.

    Gawd.

    As the thread title didn't distinguish between Mark Robinson and Russell Robertson, I thought that perhaps they were going to resuscitate the festering corpse of the Footy Show with a line up that would make the original lineup comparatively resemble  'Firing Line with William F. Buckley'.  

    If they were going to go that way, they may as well go the full 9 yards and bring back Hutchy as well to dial the slovenliness level up to 11.

    I dont think so.  It was on a Friday night and it only went one season.

    I see now, but I wasn't sure initially whether the 'the MFC one' bit pertained to Robbo or to the Footy Show. I know there were some club corner like shows lurking around the old 7 Sports AFL channel on pay TV back in the day and I thought Robbo might have skulked onto there.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
