That Molloy and Robbins show hasn't started yet?!! The promos have been going for at least 5 months!!!

I wonder if the promos last longer than the show will.

I'm leaning towards a yes

With some of these shows like MAFS and Kitchen, they are getting close to showing promos for the next season before the finale for the current one finishes rolling the closing credits

The rate it's going, Glenn Robbins won't need makeup to perform Uncle Arthur.

Enjoyed Mick Malthouse last night. Exceeded my expectations.

Poor Sam can't do the drip tray without Molloy butting in

Maybe I'm just over it, but I found Molloy's voice particularly annoying last night. The way he has to talk over everyone is particularly aggravating. For me, Front Bar has gone from a "must watch" TV event to "Maybe I'll watch because I've got nothing better to do". And I have no intention watching that new show with Glenn Robbins, shameless self-promotion.

Interesting to see if Mick took a few weeks off over the bye rounds to see if it would be better

I don't necessarily dislike mick but his schtick is repetitive
I think Andy needs to be the constant as a straight man but you could make a case to rotate the others

And drip tray needs to be weekly regardless of who's in the seat

He’s morphing into Ivan Milat.

I heard back when he was playing, he was the practical joker in the rooms, quite the sense of humour. We never saw evidence of it when he was coaching for obvious reasons.

I found it interesting that they touched on his playing days at St.Kilda and transfer to Richmond. They talked about him coaching the Bulldogs, Collingwood and Carlton, but very little time spent on his most successful era as coach of the West Coast Eagles.

I have a theory he doesn't really follow Richmond/AFL all that closely. Certainly heard a lot more about it in the last decade or so.

Here's some trivia about Malthouse: he wore six different numbers over his 11 seasons

mate Mick's been sinking beers in the grand stands supporting the tiges for a hell of a long time now
through many of bad years mind you.

yep.. that show has a shelf life that is already ticking down.

He is very much a man in the stands. Goes weekly.

Not really seeing him in these times of need. Pretty much like the supporter base.

He's going tomorrow night with his twins.

Good for his brand.

Fallen off the train? who would have thought he was a bandwagoner

With big name guests they could easily do two segments, plenty to cover
Same with Derm a few weeks ago

That would be good anything would be better than listening to the joke's Molloy drags out that have been around since Moses was a kid.

Mick Martyn was good value on the show last bight

I agree, he started nervously, but once he settled in he was quite good. I enjoyed it because it gave an insight to younger supporters how physical the game was back then. These days we worry about tummy taps

 

[SportsCentre]

as tough as they come in those days, but not sure Mick Martyn was all that thrilled at every 2nd answer of his being responded to with a reference to him being tough but also being dumb, especially when he pulled out his degree and the panel still persisted. Sensed the same when Molloy made a reference to his dad, Bryan having a (joke) prison sentence.

He was one of the better guests. I just with the 3 panelists would have shut up and let him talk more.
