Yeah, enjoyed this show (Barrett notwithstanding) over the past couple of years as a good concise wrapup of the weekend. Bartel as a replacement is OK but a bit dull.

Garry Lyon..
What’s with this no sock stuff? looks shithouse!
Does he think he is 22? Jesus Christ.

I feel that On The Couch is still a good show but it's lost what made it so unique. I liked the old format of Gerard, an ex-coach and a journalist. Now it's blended in to other shows with its quest for cringey segments like the best kick etc. I think I preferred last year's line-up as while I know King gets a lot of stick on here (and with some justification at times) but at least he brings a different perspective to it with his Champion Data tie-in.
Roos is not likeable but geez he's got a footy brain. Love his insights, his view on Carlton two weeks ago were spot on. Brown doesn't research at all and goes with cliches. All bluff. Lyon I'm indifferent will give a view but tends to know that his view isn't respected greatly by the footy industry.

Its just tired I think. Dunno if I have missed even one show in years, last night I switched channels at 8pm half way through and watched some show on the Nazi's. Only so much football bullshit one can take in.
The ooh yeah segment is boring, JBrown has re-explained the schtick every episode now

His faux aggressiveness is getting really tiring too.

Brownys lack of shoulders is most concerning
This is a production issue, i doubt anyone on set feels comfortable with this childish garbage. The new producer of the show has turned a very good informative format into a crock of shyte.
On a side note does anyone know when Roos is due to run out of bath water.

It's so weird. When he is wearing a football jumper both in his playing days and post retirement (EJ Whiten games) his shoulders seem normal, but if he wears anything else (i.e a long sleeve shirt), his shoulders vanish into thin air.

Good to see Garry has worked out socks. Well done Gazz.
What's with the farmer boots though.

The show seems scripted. I felt uneasy when theyre talking trends and each of them are lecturing me the viewer.

Brown is a waste of space and he gets pissed off if Lyon gives a different opinion to him. It’s like Brown has spent a couple of days memorising what he has to say.
Roos is good, excellent analysis of Dees defensive set up and how Hawks exploited it.
And last night was better without a guest

I rate this show. Might not be perfect but I love the behind the goals footage that breaks down the games. By far the best analysis show, make that the only one really.
Thought last night's show was actually good.

I can understand people being critical of their sillier segments but its an hour long show, they spend 30 minutes doing a deep dive on structure and strategy etc, the lighter stuff helps keep the show going otherwise it'd get a bit dry.

Not sure if the dynamic of Brown and Lyon is going to work longer term
What's the go with Brown's obsession with Joe Daniher? I can't say I remember it, but did they have an onfield run-in in a game or something?
Brown seems to dream up some sort of criticism (and usually a very trivial one) of him in every second On The Couch show. And I can't ever recall watching an Essendon game, with Daniher playing and Brown commentating, where he doesn't seem to rip into him for something.
Last night, he criticised him for his body language, goalkicking and also found some footage of one supposedly poor attempt at a lead, and banged on about it as though it was one of the worst pieces of play of all time. (And it was doubtful it was all that bad anyway, or anything that you wouldn't see every forward do numerous times in every match.)

Spends way too much time goo chugging the swans
I've always found Gerard annoying and Brown is hopeless. Garry is a good addition , one of the best analysts IMO. I think Roos breaks down tactics well even though he seems like a bit of a whinger in general.
