Eddie McGuire returning to co-host The Footy Show.

[Selene9]

I don't understand all the Eddie hate? He's had a few stuff ups over the time but as a show host there is currently none better, he brings insights into the inner thinking's of football clubs, has a vast history of knowledge of our game past and present and into his passion is to be admired love him or hate him, he also has a sense of humour and can seperate the professional side and his show business side and is far far better then the s**t we currently have available to us.

He may be ok in small doses, but he is totally over exposed!!

Does anyone find it interesting that they are having a weeks hiatus, just when the season is getting interesting?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Plus holds membership on a number of other boards and committees as well

Seriously don't know when he'd even have time to sleep, let alone do anything with his family.

Exactly. The bloke is a machine. At the very least you have to admire his drive, energy and ambition.

it seems like a really odd thing to do, regardless of the ratings issues.

 

[MightyTiger]

All good bud, I don't like the man you have a crush on him, no probs.

I don't have a crush on him, couldn't care less to be honest, I don't judge a person because of a couple of past mistakes and form my own opinion of a person.

Its a perplexing move.

I get the need to reset, with the new ep & host but its not like its the bye week.

 

[ArNcHiSe]

Until Sam is gone I won't be tuning in. His long winded bitching and moaning parading as "telling it as it is" was tiresome 10 years ago.

 

[Selene9]

Poor Hutchy, thought he performed well, but he's pretty basic and the rating weren't there so Nine didn't really have much of a choice. I'd prefer Bec gone, so bland and boring.

Eddie is a significant upgrade. Was the absolute backbone of the early Footy Show. There is a pulse.

I like Hutchy on Footy Classified-he was the sacrificial lamb!

They'd just be adding the drama to it. The first show back will be huge rarings I'd say and then it will slide again.

He also does Millionare Hot Seat.

I'm not judging him on mistakes just don't like his demeanour, his own biggest fan.

 

[Thrawn]

And one of Australia's most powerful and influential person going around, but I'm sure it's easy to judge sitting behind a keyboard on how hard someone may or may not have had to work to get to where they are.

One of the most powerful?

He couldn't even run Channel 9 as CEO. He wouldn't even be in the top 20 most powerful and influential in this country.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

The patient is dead. Do not resuscitate.

 

[Mappa]

...really lazy comedy

like Mick Molloy ?

 

[Leviathan Pie]

The show has been a basket-case since McGuire left.

Interesting to see if theres some sort of resurgence.

 

[tek87]

would have been an interesting story if it was the female host getting the chop for Eddie. first week Eddie one on one exclusive with Adam Goodes

I love the amount of hate this show gets.
These flogs flock to this thread an stroke themselves while typing ' I don't watch it' or 'shows not relative'

I know telling your 3 friends in the real world you don't like it gets boring but the Internet doesn't care either

So what do you do down at Channel Nine?

Clearly on their payroll.

Alot more than you seem to do in your life which is spent on the Internet talking about things you don't like to people who don't care hahahahahaha.

Also I live in Canada so suck it

 

[LouderNowBlue]

True blue Aussie? Let me guess? You've got a southern cross tattoo on your back, think Muslims are taking all our jobs, complain about high house prices due to foreign investment (will decode if you ask), want Sherman Burgess to be PM, and go to Bali for your annual footy trip?

This is a fun game. Let me have a go.

Let me guess? Private school educated, spoon fed everything by mummy and daddy, got a job because of someone your dad knows, go on holidays to the chateau in Paris and a staunch Liberal voter?

Yet you've almost got the same amount of posts as me.

 

[adammania9]

Look at me, I don't watch the footy show! Give me attention!

 

[DrEvil_]

Hopefully he brings Bucks with him, would actually be a good fit.
