No questioning the professionalism and quality of the actual football coverage over the years, but the quality and professionalism of "Footy Classified" and the "AFL Footy Show" is simply a joke.
Although my love for footy has compelled me to watch both over the years with the age of the "Footy Show"'s panelist has become a level of programming compareable to that of Channel 31(for those who have it).
Footy Show:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The cheap shots, plugs and constant fighting are quickly becoming a trademark of the show. The stretcher tape would be on a nonstop loop if Sam's 'in case of any dull moment' clause was actually in effect. The only laughs come through cheap shots, shane crawford/brendan fevola and crowd members yelling.
What crossed the line for me was the pathetic interviewing by the team when the newcomers came in. While Gibbs was asked adequate questions the rest were simply gossip questions and questions which needed little more than a yes/no answer. Jack Riewolt was ignored to tell you the truth.
Some heavy off season tuning is in order at seasons end!
Footy Classified:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gary Lyon's 22nd show on channel 9. Hutchie is the only reason to watch the show, knows when to hold back, when to push forward and provides alot of informed questions and great information to the football community. Caroline Wilson can't write articles let alone speak, a perfect addition to the channel 9 team. Lovely to see her squirm when Carey was having a go at her, too bad Gary stepped in or the old bat might've had a heart attack.
What was particulary disappointing when Dean Laidely came in he was contantly belittled by the panel and was given little chance to gather a sentence.
A little fine tuning and a better timeslot can see this show shineeee.
Thoughts?
