Jones on TFS

[Leper Messiah]

I just read on the main board that Jones was on TFS last night and plugging the club! Did anyone happen to tape the show and be able to put the segment up on youtube? I live on the Gold Coast and can never stay up to watch the delayed telecast cos of work the next morning...

Yeah Sammy got him to read out the first mailbag letter.

 

[Deenamite]

The kid was very nervous and Sam made a bit of a deal out of it.

 

[FOOOOTY]

Jones was fine, nervous maybe but not enough to have him backdown when Sam challenged him to get up and read his mailbag

Jonesy was preety nervous, but did a good job when he did the mailbag, the whole promotion was good for the club. But i was dissapointed because i reckon they made a bigger deal of the bulldogs the week before. At least Gary Lyon looks like he might be supporting the club.

I didn't watch it. Was he actually on the panel?

 

[Capt_Concussion]

I missed it as well. Would love it to be posted on youtube. Or are you able to download episodes of TFS off their website or something?

From what i've heard he and Bruce were in the crowd (those tables at the front) and just answered some questions and stuff.

Correct.

Thought it was a VERY significant move getting the Jones boy on the Footy Show. Major media exposure could be the step up this young man needs.

Also thought he did a brilliant job, despite the nervousness.

Struggling to think of the last time a MFC player actually made me proud instead of making me cringe.

I thought it was pretty poor of Sam to get him to read the letter out when he was clearly struggling to speak well or read from an autocue (if he was). If Sam was honestly trying to encourage the kid and build the kids confidence he would have asked him questions about footy, the MFC and the like, rather than have him read out a letter complete with stage directions and the like that he had no idea about

Jones was nervous at the start but really started to warm to the show by the end of it... He honestly made more sence when reading the first letter than Sam ever does..
My girlfriend said 'oh he so cute" when Jonesy was doing his thing so that might be nice for a few more of the ladies to make it down on Sunday...

I noticed Bruce spoke really well almost like how a captain should... which was interesting...

Is anyone else annoyed how they constantly give Jason Dunstall shit... im so over it... its not even funny anymore.. now that i think about it.. it never really has been...

YES! Ever since JB and Lyon stepped in for Eddie TFS has gone down the crapper. It's so scripted now and they just talk each other up. It's never funny and they're always just mentioning sponsers and crap. I hardly watch it anymore.

Sounds like you watch it a lot.

Gone down since Eddie left? You've got to be joking right? It's a hell of a lot better than when McGuire was hosting.

I reckon both eras have their merits but what made the Footy Show so good back in the 90's was the fact that it was the first show to break the news, particularly concerning team selection. Nowadays you can access any news on Thursday as early as 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Eddie was also instrumental in having the big stories broken on the show. Not only that but nothing really surprises or shocks people these days, back then whenever Sam or someone did something controversial it would make serious waves. Now it's no biggie, excluding the womens issue. That's just a load of shit anyways. But I still enjoy the JB and Garry tag team
