Channel 9 Footy Show 2011 - New Year - New Ad - Same Crap

[Ozzy]

Sam Newman (to Mario): You are a f**kwit.

Truer words have never been spoken.

While this may be true, it is ironic that of all people to say it, Sam Newman was the one. He would have to be a much bigger f**kwit.

Still a footy show fan and proud, it aint great but its a good way to glide into the weekend over a beer or 3.

This is why I watch it. It's not great, but it still has some footy and involves footy players I as a fan enjoy watching. I find it's good to see a non-serious side to the players. Eg Ben Ross and Daly Cherry Evans couple of weeks back.

I sort of agree - but we really need a Sam newman type character on our footy show. Watch the AFL footy show - he makes that whole show.

He says what he wants to whoever he wants and that makes great TV.

Thought they might have shown when Mario flipped out at vossy and vossy shit himself. Blocker had to go back stage and calm Mario down to get him back on stage. Probably my fav footy show moment

Really? I don't remember that episode. It must have been back in the early days when vossy did the Around the Grounds segment

wasn't that on The Sunday Footy Show?

Voss always used to take the piss out of Mario's book called Personal Best http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mario-Fenech-Personal-Best-/130522857323

Glad i recorded this, will enjoy watching it before the game tonight. Did they mention what year the Mclachlan "comedy" act was? Still remember it like it was yesterday, absolutley cringe worthy.

05 i think.

 

[griffo346]

the mclachan act was at panthers i would of thought 04? year after the premiership

 

[griffo346]

I wonder since they have seen the viewers spike in this celebration show will the bring some of it back like a re hash

so as there house insted with ryan girdler have it with freddie etc?

 

[Brutus]

Saw Girdler on the League Lounge. He's a great TV talent.

He needs to be used way more.

They should groom him to be the next Footy Show host. He could do it.

I agree, he is a naturally funny guy, and doesn't need to try too hard. Their House was a great segment.

Nope...Thursday version 1998...i have it on tape


My fav is the old man at Dapto Dogs George Vagana (sp?) he was comedy gold with the things he said. He was on that show many times.

THIS.

Sam Newman speaks his mind and good on him. The gimps up here just cover the arses of everyone.

Not a set of nuts between the lot of them.

I should leave Sterlo out of that comment. He generally speaks common sense. The rest of them are all "its not his go" types.

Weak as piss.

Shockingly...I completely agree with you.

Fatty and co all seem to be in awe of any current player and want to be their best mate. Sam Newman makes genuinely uncomfortable points/questions when they need to be made/asked.

In terms of their hosts the AFL version has a much better balance in what each brings to the table, while the NRL show doesn't. I like Fatty but he's better as the sidekick host rather than the main host. Then after him you have the guy who brings nothing but fat jokes to the show, then two professional dumbarses in Fittler and Fenech. A pale imitation of Matty in Beau. While in the other version Newman compliments Lyon and Brayshaw so much better.

 

[Big Pete]

What? Sterlo is a good analyst BUT he's a major fence sitter.

i hope not fittler is not in the same league as girds, suely he can one night away from making coffee on the northern beaches to help out. one girds highlight that will probably never get played again was i think just before their semi against st george in 04, his interview with galuvao and robets was hilarious.

its a pity i missed the episode where fenech flipped out on voss, in hindsight it would of made great television

 

[Big Pete]

Freddie was attrocious last night.

So much awkward laughter.

Whilst I agree that Matt Johns is a very talented person, he will always remind me as someone like Bert Newton: someone who is very good as the sidekick/backup person (like moonface was with Graham Kennedy and Don Lane), but just doesn't have what it takes to carry the whole entire show on it's own. With that being said, although I cannot see him coming back to Ch9 after the way he got screwed over by them 2 yrs ago, I would much prefer to see him on there than Brohman, Freddy or Beau Ryan.
