That instagram/twitter segment is the biggest waste of time. Ego gratification to the max. I mean, who cares what Gordon tallis suitcase looks like whilst he's packing?

Whoever decided for Mollan to get a full time gig needs to be sacked. if ch9 we're after a permanent female pannellist, Yvonne Sampson was the much better option and look forward to her interview with Will Hopoate next week

The Footy Show made this forum hate Newcastle. They made us want Benji/Tigers to lose. They made us vomit cardinal & myrtle with the Burgii lovefest.

Who will be the next victim?

Looks like the Burgii/sbw face morph gig from Beau is going to get another extensive run this year. Sigh........

What about Hadley being a dickhead and interrupting that Dragons fan. Probably his first time on tv and Hadley just rudely interrupts him while he was giving his opinion.

He is a loudmouth f**kwit, so we shouldn't be surprised.
The punter was obviously nervous and Hadley sensed it and had a crack at him like the bully he is.

Exactly. Bullies will always pick on the weakest prey.

I feel my IQ drop by 50 points every time I watch it.

Yeah, that was disgraceful. I embrace the idea of having fans involved in the show but that idea is only going to work in that segment if the producer has a strong word with Hadley not to do that again (like what happened in Andrew Voss first appearance as permanent pannellist in 2009 with Russell Crowe) or Hadley is canned from that segment. That Dragons fan should've given it to Hadley.

When they announced the segment I liked the idea, it actually has potential. But if it's just fan (or ch 9 reality contestants) tweets like "OMG Footy show ad...wrecking ball...soo funny. LMAO #awesomeballs" then there is no point. I guess the players are just as diplomatic on twitter as they are in interviews so there may not be a lot, but I think we could have some good stuff there this year. There is nothing better than a twitter feud. I bet most of the stuff will just be brown nosing though.

Agreed, Molan adds little to the show, she often is wrong with her facts and doesn't have the personality for what the show is going for. She seems like she wants to be taken seriously, but is on a show where that won't happen.

The next victim will probably be Maloney with his barbecuing

You'd think SOMEONE involved with the show would tell them they've run that joke into the ground by now wouldn't you? They only brought it up every week they had Maloney on the show last year.

That Dragons fan should've given it to Hadley.

Let me guess what will happen. The fan will express the popular opinion every week and Hadley will shout and scream they're wrong because he has no idea how out of touch he is. Eventually (by round 7 I'm guessing), they'll tell the fan what they should and shouldn't say, to agree with Hadley. If anyone on here gets the fan seat they should share the inside scoop here, it would be interesting to hear.

EDIT: Watched the video of five in the bin, what a dick.

Felt for the guy. He actually had some valid points in how dragons could still have an alright year. Hadley just didn't like someone had a different opinion to him. Good on him for biting back and not giving in to the dickhead.

The Dragons fan should has asked Hadley how his missus was doing. That would have made great TV.

don't watch the show, but it sounds like one of the reasons I stopped listening to 2GB - if you don't agree with them, you're wrong

I thought the Dragons bloke was well spoken, gave some good points and got them across really well. Finch sitting next to him was back slapping him and the other guys were happy to let him talk...

....Hadley is a merkin.

Jesus f**king Christ.

The Thursday Footy Show is a LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM, where the subject matter is footy.

It has been this way for most of its 21 years.

If you want a serious footy-talk version, then tune in Sunday mornings at 11am. Thursday night has always been silly-buggers. The same "OMG ARE THEY EVA GONA TALK BOUT DA GAME!!!!111!!ONE!!111" posts every f**king week... gimme a break.

As for 5 in the bin... had plenty of time for that Dragons bloke til he turned on the Dogs :lol:

But Hadley's conduct was as bully-ish and self-indulgent as ever. He gets the first question and makes it instantly about Parra.
