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.

    The Penthouse Club?

    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 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
