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

[SmAshmoto]

Time to kill it dead and leave the memories alone.

 

[1989]

Tuned in for about five minutes at the end, only to hear Alcott rip out the F bomb.

I caught about 10 minutes after "You can't ask that" and saw the same thing.

It's probably not fair for me to judge this show having watched the first 10 minutes this year and 10 minutes last night - but the show just has a stench of death about it, and the reason is that there's no chemistry whatsoever between any of the hosts. Individually, we know that Meadows, Lehmo and Alcott are good tv hosts, but together it's just horrible.

All the hosts suck and I would not watch them on any other show.

I’ve heard the numbers last night was exceptionally,
Dismal.

 

[kirbatron]

Who were the management morons who decided to keep the name & format?

Truly mind boggling.

Irrespective of the current hosts' talents they were onto a hiding to nothing.

That’s bad, real bad.

Channel 9 need to take it out the back and quietly slit its throat.

 

[Chicken Parma]

Apparently next week's show will air at 7:30pm Thursday

 

[1989]

This thread would be exploding if anyone was actually watching.

Good move I think, running up against TFB was not a good idea to begin with

 

[1989]

Clearly, it's gone. The people who haven't watched it in recent years are probably not coming back, and those (like me) who stayed loyal, have probably switched off with the departure of Sam, Eddie, etc. It's The Footy Show in name only.

 

[peternorth]

It's a show about AFL football.

The AFLy show!

Thing is, even though ratings are poor, wil ch 9 cut it? It would be a major shot to the ego should they do that.

Well they cut the nrl version, which i thought meant the afl one was doomed. Keeping it going really makes no sense.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Well they pretty much have all bases covered, just need an Asian.

Channel 7 will just move TFB to 7:30 as well.

TFS started at 9:30, moved to 9:00 then moved to 8:30 and TFB has followed them every week.

Flogging a dead horse.

 

[1989]

With the panel they assembled, I don’t know how they thought the result would be any different.

There’s no more moves left. Just put it down humanely.

According to the TV Guides in this morning's papers, TFB is currently scheduled for 8:30 Thursday.

The Sunday footy show is waaay better, if they drop the weeknight show do they drop Sunday’s as well?

 

[yaco55]

The Sunday Footy Show is a different entity to the Thursday Footy Show - They are in no way related.

 

[Dixie Normous]

Everyone excited for tonight's show??

 

[reubski23]

I remember the good old days- every Thursday someone would ask who is on the footy show tonight first 10 replies “I think JB, Garry, Sam & Trev” will be on.

Back on those days this thread would be crazy you could literally miss the show and have a play by play on this thread
