As much as I love the show in its own right, I'll always have an extra-special affinity for the SFS because they kept going in the very darkest of times with no sport and it helped keep me, and I'm sure many others, going.

Any idea when this starts.

presumably once the Front Bar switches back into AFL mode (unless they are both doing a season preview episode), once the season starts
I actually didn't mind Talking Footy before it got axed. Usually not a big fan of BT but I enjoyed him on the show. Also found it funny how members of the panel seemed to have a great deal of contempt for that flog McClure.
Not sure about Cotchin and Selwood as panellists. Talking Finals wasn't the worst footy show I've ever seen, but parts of it were quite boring and awkward. I think it's due to the fact that neither of them have a great deal of charisma.

Why do the so called star players once retired automatically become footy show panelists regardless of how dull they are?
Maybe retirees from 2023 like Lachie Plowman & Andrew Phillips (2 names off the top of my head) are great analysts of the game and present well on the tele but because they are not perceived big names or former captains they will never get a look in.

Yeah that version of the show was pretty good. I remember it being on 7mate at a reasonable time on a Monday night
Take it to the Essendon Board

I wonder if they'll make a podcast form of each episode. Probably not going to watch but would happily fit it into my weekly rotation
they need Robert walls back.

Not a great start lol. JB asks who worries you. Joel says Collingwood! Trent says Carlton, but not the way they play. All just making statements and saying words for the sake of it to fill space. No substance. It's only 3 mins in! Also they're all standing up. Sit down!!

Celebrating what we're good at
Spot on with the standing thing. It looks so awkward, no one seems relaxed at all.

Didn't watch all of it. They did get into the groove after awhile. Playing older clips and old promos was good. Crossing to Mitch Cleary is a good segment. But yeah just sit down and relax abit. Tim was practically breathing into Trent's mouth they were standing so close.
All up, seemed like a show that was done with minimal preparation.
Disjointed, awkward...like nobody knew what was coming up next or what questions they were about to be asked.
Couldn't agree more re sitting down. My god they looked uncomfortable standing for the whole show.
Hopefully that's the first and last we see of Tim Watson's 'Say That Again' segment. Embarrassing fail from the start, with JB failing to introduce it properly.
Can only get better

JB and Tim …that was their first mistake.
Cold and without warmth and humor. Stiff like cardboard.
get rid of the cold blue colours for starters... then work on some humor mixed into footy talk. yesteryear and todays footy with footy greats as guests. inc umps.

The new intro is so damn generic and boring, they need to bring back the old intro with the old song.
Watched it for 10 minutes tonight ... that'll do for me.

Boring. Selwood and Cotchin have the personality of two stale pieces of bread. Dull.
Watson looks like he's confused and ready for his pyjamas and hot Milo and Brayshaw just looks like he doesn't want to be there.

Watched for 10 minutes and couldn’t stand it any longer.
WTF was that wordplay segment? Horse, Sky, Adelaide, Printer etc?
Agreed, I suspect Brayshaw had little choice from a network perspective and was told he had to do it.
Watson just doesn't watch enough football now a days. The other two are dull, I don't think they will last long in the media.
