Hughesy was ok, but a little underwhelming for the first show. He was well suited to Before The Game, I'm not sure the stand up thing will work every single week.

I think Hughes has his place on TV, but I've never liked his stand up. The Project and Before the Game suited him, so he will be best served on the Footy Show as sitting on the panel providing scripted one liners in response to a story.... kinda like Trev.

Wow they are being campaigners to Dys
Something tells me Heppell is putting it on a bit. They probably planted the camels.
Probably weren't the real ones.
Fos seems sharper tonight.

Was never a fan of Hughes and his performance tonight was even worse than his one off last season. Only one half way funny joke about Hird and the delusional Essendon supporters but that's it.
The whole show felt kind of lazy, awkward and flat, more disorganized than usual. I still tune in every Thursday night but tonight's season opener was not a great start.

Pre-season shows are always a little bit flat, it'll get better once round one rolls around.
Sounds like your average episode to me.

Attempting to watch this in QLD and channel 9 has a ******* police show on instead. It's 20 minutes since the advertised starting time. * off channel 9. Useless campaigners.

So nothing has changed lol
I used to set the VCR to record it from 11.30 with a 3 hour tape to make sure I'd get it in full.
Regardless, it's just weed, it's not going to give him an upper hand over his opponents at all.
This. He's had all summer to nail his introduction, and that's the best he can come up with? What's he going to be like if he only has a week to prepare?
Dave's a likeable fella, and I enjoy watching him on panel shows, but I hope the stand-up was a one-off. JB's forced/fake laughter was even more painful to listen to than the comedy routine.
I think most people agree that Bill would be a pretty good bloke. The question is how this guy has been able to go year after year in the media without contributing a damned thing. I remember him on breakfast radio on SEN, all he did was sit there and read the newspaper. And on TV, his entire act is based around a fat bastard who drinks beer. He appears on Sunday morning football shows and talks about games he saw a little bit of on TV the night before whilst drinking beer with his mates. I mean, come on. Surely to earn the kind of lolly he'd be on, you should be able to expect a little more than this?

i reckon bill can provide some insight into the game, however you are right. he doesnt give anything other than being a good bloke (everyone must agree on).
yes on SEN cohosts made fun of his lack of research every day. eventually something had to give and im pretty sure he was tapped on the shoulder and advised services no longer required. however, the reason for him leaving at the time was due to early morning starts. but then again they did say tim watson left sen because he was promoted at ch 7 and didnt have the time to contribute to radio. now he's back.....the station must think listeners are idiots.
Has Dave Hughes already jumped the shark on the Footy Show?

I think if people are watching the Footy Show to actually get an analysis of footy then they've got the wrong idea. It's been like this for a number of years
Kick Hughes
Alternate Crawf and Billy each week, and don't have Shance doing awkward s**t with players' missus'
Jonathan Brown to succeed Newman when the time comes.
Stop bringing in boring players, bring in guys like Rockliff, Stevie J, Dane Swan, any others?

I'm not one to bag him, I think he would be ok if used correctly.
Last night he seemed to be used as a guest rather than a panel member, and he failed dismally and I want this to work. I don't see how it will now.
Trevor would be much better.
