The Footy Show “announcement”

Sam Newman retiring? New hosts? The Footy Show has a "big announcement" to make.

footyshowSam Newman retiring? A change of hosts?

Tonight The Footy Show (AFL) is set to make “a big announcement.”

All rumours welcome in this 20th year!

Brisbane skipper Jonathan Brown’s form has been the subject of much discussion in season 2012. The three-time premiership superstar joins us live to discuss his playing future and the future of Lions co

With seven rounds already behind us, September action seems little more than a pipe dream for some clubs. Sam heads to the science and research capital of Clayton to find out whose season has already turned toxic in this week’s edition of Street Talk.

Award-winning journalist Damian Barrett comes armed with all the latest breaking AFL news, we catch up with some Carlton legends and rock gods Van Halen weigh in on an AFL issue.

Billy Brownless made the mistake of playing his certainty card on Carlton against the Saints last weekend. Crawf flew in a fighter jet, Sam was surrounded by mice and Garry was strapped to a wheel in Rundle Mall. What will big Billy be made to endure after getting it so wrong?

Crawf hosts Footy Legends, Sam delivers his Mailbag and we make a special announcement not to be missed.

8:30pm tonight on Nine

  1. @Rach Name me a TV show that doesn’t try to do things to boost its ratings?
    You may think The Footy Show is ‘tired’ and ‘lame’, but to some of us, it’s the only night we can safely watch 9 currently away from all the ‘reality’ shows they’ve flooded their schedule with.

  2. there were two ”big announcements” on the show. They were:

    – The Footy Show going to Perth to film an episode in July.

    – and that Shane Crawford will be cycling from Melbourne to Perth for his Breast Cancer Awareness (he did a running marathon from Adelaide to Melbourne 2 years ago for the awareness too). Good on him, i say.

  3. Just another attempt to boost it’s ratings for this tired,.lame show, we have not watched it for 10 years now anyone noticed no-one talks about the show anymore…

  4. @jimbo I don’t understand why it isn’t shown on GEM live or nearly live. Surely the NRL Footy Show would outrate whatever is on GEM in the AFL states and vice versa?

    I imagine the announcement is they’re doing a London Footy Show though.

  5. Don’t think its been as good this year as previously. Wonder if that’s due to the timeslot change. Still watch parts of the show. No idea what the announcement could be.

  6. with the ”success” of moving to 8.30pm, they now decide to move it to 7.30pm and make the show go 3+ hours. lol.

    @ glennc. I do hope one day it goes live into NSW (and other states) on GEM. It airs too late here in Sydney.
