I don't care what they do with the show. If only 118,000 watched it last night, neither do most of the footy watching/interested public.

If they're to turn the Footy show around then they're gonna have to sack Sam at the end of the season. He's a dinosaur that isn't needed in the industry anymore.

[GVGjr]

They footy show has a fair support base on here. It would be good to hear what they think of the show now that Eddie has returned and about Sam's comments last night?

Sponsors must be bailing on that kind of performance. Has McGuire started yet? If so, then the re-boot had failed and it's a matter of time before the bean counters realise all those wages and effort aren't worth it without high paying sponsors and ad buyers.

Damn shame...

The reboot 'success' was nothing but a dead cat bounce. Show is cooked - has been for years (possibly decades)

Yep, they mistook people tuning in out of morbid curiosity for a ratings bounce.

Here's my advice. Make the show more about football and people might watch. Actually make the new show more about football because TFS is done, stick a fork in it.

I tuned in, was interested in seeing how they would change it up. Beyond a new set, new (old) host... Not much changed. I'm still waiting for the "all new" they keep talking about.

Its all good Buckley has been named by Eddie as Newmans successor

Now the nation can finally begin the healing process.

Officially Axed after 735 shows and 25 straight seasons.

So it's gone straight away or continues until the end of the year?

There must be a team of Nine execs hunkered down in a morning meeting right now to discuss whether they can revive the concept with something bold like exhuming the remains of Newman.

[Remi Moses]

Didn’t realise it was still
I think I’ve missed about the last 20 years

I'd watch it. Looks okay for his age
