Aside from repetitious content I feel a big issue at present is the Wednesday night timeslot. It's really a Thursday or Friday night style program. Though Channel Seven determine that AFL matches should be played on Thursday's and Friday's. The show can still be salvaged if the stakeholders are motivated enough.
It is basically a rehash of Before the Game which aired on ten.....before the Saturday night game
 
You'd expect they'd have a contract though. Would be weird if C7 said "sure Sam, you can go off for weeks and do your own thing in the middle the of the season".

I don't think they have anything to do with the producing of the show. As I understand it, they buy The Front Bar off the shelf from the production company, and if they don't like how Molloy is running the show, their recourse - again, just as I understand it - is that they don't buy it next year.

I notice that they remove the beers and the Hahn signage during the multi. Anyone know why?
Probably because Sportsbet pay for that segment?
They'd probably pay for the entire show but aren't allowed to.
 
the national TV average of Front Bar last night was just under 600k. For Reference, the St Kilda V Fremantle game only had a national average of around 480k viewers. Which means more people watched the front bar than that game haha

Surprised 480k watched Saints/Dockers. Wasn’t Better Homes and Gardens on?
 
Was great to have Sam back but gees I didn't miss Drip Tray, needs to bring back Sam's Six or something else.

I will never see enough of Derek Kicketts torpedoes!

Lingy was good

Show much better with Pang in the seat.
I wouldn’t have minded if they just showed Derek Kickett highlights the whole show last night a lot more entertaining than some of their flat jokes.
 
Dale seemed like he was struggling... is he OK?

Perhaps that's the reason Derek appeared with him.

It might seem a bit tired, but it still rates well. The last show got ~1.2 million viewers nationally, and was the 9th most-watched show in Melbourne.

And the ratings are virtually identical to the same time last year:

Why are they getting Lawrence Mooney back

The single best employment position in Australia - be a mate of a comedian on TV. Absolutely endless appearances on every network, and you don't have to be close to being funny (which is appropriate, as most of them aren't).
