The Footy Show's 2019 format revealed (and other Nine AFL stuff)

[Elite Master]

I noticed they went with different theme music but have still kept the orignal Footy Show logo. I wonder if the specil event big shows that Sam and Eddie will be on will keep the classic 'Before the Game' theme music?

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Can't believe the show is still going.

I thought their main audience was idiot boomers and uneducated bogans who tune in to watch that moron Sam "telling it like it is." Now he is gone, what's the point of it at all?

 

[PerfectFooty]

Didn't see it. Was it any good?

 

[The Unforgiven]

I didn't like it. I switched over to The Front Bar after half an hour.

I was afraid of that, decided not to risk it and just start with the front bar. (Also 7Plus is way better than 9Now)

 

[Gersman]

Not good at all. The panelists are all completely wooden and try to be funny but fail miserably.
That woman on the panel is hideously annoying and has a stupid laugh.
Every time they put a woman on the panel on these shows it becomes a borefest snd fails soon after. Don't care if that sounds sexist or not.
Discussed very little about football or the upcoming matches.
As a spectacle it was something resembling the aftermath of the 1989 Kempsey bus crash.
I'm tipping the Nine execs will be right into them within 6 weeks if it doesn't improve.

 

[Whiskers]

Gary Lyon didn't think the show should even bear the same name, I totally agree with him after that effort

It’s a completely different show now just has the same desk.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Looks like they’ve ticked every box.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Finding Lehmo is wearing a thick black pair of frames that make him look like Drew Carey.

Neroli is absolutely shitting me with her over the top laugh.

Mason Cox talks with arrogance like he's a 5 time Brownlow medallist. Just cant warm to him.

This format will get canned in less than 6 weeks. Terrible.

So reading through this thread and decided to switch over to the Front Bar as lots of you have. I just dont find these 3 funny either. I dont know. Maybe will just have to give free-to-air football programs a miss.

 

[Topkent]

I stuck fat through all the JB an Gaz years, hung on when Gaz left an even survived through to Ed hosting again but I'm done

That abomination shouldn't be called the footy show.
Sam Newman was the footy show, Neroli Meadows, Lehmo an Alcott? **** that
Cancelled by mid year I'd say

 

[raymond35]

I lasted 5 minutes. It's exactly the same!

 

[belliott]

saw the line up and 5 seconds later turned it off. It wont last

Should have just put the old name to bed and come up with something else. ‘The Footy Show’ has a stink on it like Hey Hey and Burke’s Backyard.

Just call it something lame like ‘Goal to Goal’ or ‘More Than a Game’ if you want a nod to the past...

Seriously though...Fev and Shane Crawford?...yikes...

I’m assuming the Sunday Footy Show (already basically unwatchable) will go next level on it’s ‘fake arguments’ thing with Newman around and slowly morph into what it was when it started with that long panel of old coots...Sam Kekovich, Ted Whitten, Lou Richards etc....yikes.

Sunday footy show is great. If you like game day your opinion is invalid

Hmm it’s a tough one.

Sunday Footy Show is pretty bad...the false bravado stuff and Bill Brownless in general. It’s tough though, I can’t watch Matthew Lloyd pretend to be a hard hitting journalist for very long.

Game Day...it’s ok? But so so....banal? They all piss into each other’s pockets and pull every punch, especially if someone’s mate is on the show (whether it’s a typically Geelong heavy panel or a Hawthorn one...). Hamish is....just such a w***er - almost a self parody these days.

I’m tough to please I guess!

 

[Timewaster]

Stop braying, Neroli, please.

They need to mute her when she's not speaking. Terrible noise

The Sunday show is good light hearted banter mate. The players are alot more relaxed an the show is what it is. It doesn't try be controversial or have Hamish who is the hands down biggest w***er on tv.

Lloyd doesn't do hard hitting stuff on the Sunday show.

I think your getting it mixed up with clas

The only way this show can be saved is fev has to be pissed at the Brownlow. What a shitfest.

That’s why I love the Sunday Footy Show. No women. Blokes being blokes, taking the piss out of each other.

 

[zucchini]

How can they call it The Footy Show?
Watched for 10 minutes the whole thing was just piss poor, that laugh is I don't know what it is and wtf is the tennis guy on there cracking wheelchair jokes for?

 

[De Iulio2Wiggins]

The past six pages of whining are much better if you read it to yourself in Abraham Simpson's voice

 

[Jcpdragonx]

I like Neroli but shes too nice and cant build up rapport to the point where she can take the piss out of others and vise versa. Its the only thing they do on TFB, and what made the Gary/Jim/Newman footy show good. Sam Pang went on for 30 seconds on how bad Andy's calling of the BBL was.

I don't think the producers get it, no more revamps, scrap and new concept. Bringing big names on the show isnt a long term solution either, just desperate.
