The Footy Show 2015

Yeah it was all fake. Molan was hopeless. When Powers set up Grothe being the dog, he woke up too early and was ready for his part. Was obvious it was acting.

So the hypnosis was a load of crap? Could Peter Powers hypnotise you?

Peter Powees is the best!!!

If you think that was real, than you're either stupid or gullible.. Or both.

I remember Mario being on the show a few years ago when Powers 'hypnotised' him. Mario f**ed up the acting and I was sure as f**k that that should've signaled the end of Powers' career. Alas, people still believe the garbage

maybe that applies to all viewers of the show

It is kind of a metaphor for whoever watches the show...

The Beau Ryan celebrity interviews are embarrassing.
These celebs must truly wonder why this guy is interviewing them.

They probably were joking and laughing at Beau after he left the room

The show desperately needed some new blood who were either funny or had respect within the game and instead we got Molan as a co host. The show is dead on it's arse.

On that topic of humor, I see the AFL Footy Show signed up Dave Hughes to be a part of the regular panel doing the comedic segments and player interviews.

Regarding someone who had respect within the game, Ch9 had a chance to get Sterlo back before he started his own show on Fox Sports. From Sterlo's point of view, it was a great career move to leave The Footy Show at the right time (at the beginning of 2007) and then sign with Fox Sports a couple of years ago. I think not being invited to Germany for the Soccer World Cup Footy Show in 2006 (whilst pretty much nearly all Eddie's AFL lackeys were) was the final straw that made it an easy decision for him to see the direction The Footy Show was heading in.

Yes sterlo was gutted at that. I think fatty going when he didn't have a clue about football was more of a kick in the guts tbh.

That World Cup Footy show was such a joke. It was nothing more than a glorified attempt from Eddie McGuire - who was CEO of Ch9 at the time - to jump on the soccer bandwagon and use the show in Germany as an excuse to give all his mates a free mid-year holiday, travelling first-class. I remember there was a lot of controversy in the media about this at the time, given the 'boned' incident and the stringent cost-cutting measures and subsequent staff redundancies at Ch9 that Eddie had implemented. Ch9 never, EVER gave a stuff about soccer and Eddie had plans of his own to cash in on all the publicity regarding Australia's first World Cup in 32yrs (Gerald Stone mentioned more about this incident in his book "Who Killed Ch9?").

I remember that first Footy Show after that World Cup episode. It was the NRL Footy Show's first show in Melbourne (for Melbourne Storm members only IIRC), and they were broadcasting in a small studio room next to where the AFL Footy Show was also broadcasting. Fatty and Matt Johns - the two members from the NRL show that went to Germany - both gatecrashed the AFL Footy Show and made appearances on it (Matt as Reg Reagan).

And yes, you're right about Sterlo's reaction. I remember him looking absolutely gutted at the start of the show, especially at times when Fatty and Matt were crapping on about what a great time they had over in Germany and all the shennanigans they got up to etc etc. Given that he had been on the show for more than a decade like Fatty and all the years of loyalty he'd shown to Ch9, Sterlo felt he should've definitely been over there instead of Matt Johns (who'd only been on the show as a permanent pannelist since after he retired in 2002). So, it was no surprised that Sterlo left only a few months later and at his official farewell show on the first episode of 2007, he looked very happy to leave after the show paid tribute to him in the opening segment.

I don't watch any more, but the Beau interview with Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell last week got like 3k upvotes on reddit which is where I saw it. Heaps of Americans praising Beau for the way he conducted the interview.

Also watched the fast+furious cast. Looked so start struck and out of his depth on those ones.

 

[southwalesrabbitoh]

Footy Show is not that bad IMO, I watch it up here. E Molan is okay, yeah I think Y Sampson would be better, but it's meant to be a light entertainment show, so Molan is more suited to that kind of thing.

Not sure about hypnotism, I think some can go under, doubt I would be able to though.

 

[Tigers1986]

It's hit and miss. I'd like them to spend more time discussing the real issues and having in-depth game previews without pumping the betting odds. THe over the top comedy segments are painful, redundant and a turn-off to viewing. Molan tries way too hard and is out of her depth when it comes to knowledge of the game, which is why Sampson should be on the panel as well for when the serious talk needs to happen.

Sterlo on the couch is MILES ahead of this show, as well as both of Matty Johns shows (he mixes comedy with the serious quite aptly).

 

[Rhyno]

Fatty, Sterlo, Cheif and Beau would be a great panel

 

[shinobi]

I didnt mind beaus interview with the rock it seemed pretty laid back and the rock was going along with a lot of the fob jokes

 

[Tigers1986]

Fatty (if they must keep him), Sterlo, Matty Johns, Sterlo, Big Marn & Yvonne Sampson. Add in your two guest hosts and there's your panel of 8.
