No, just watched Manyoo & Wolves.

Cheered up yet?

One show I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in this thread is another Ch31 hidden gem like Marngrook and The Local Footy Show.

Footy Talkback. A 30 minute insight to fans and their beloved clubs. Concept is simple, interview fans about their teams on the way into a game. Show the footage during the following week. There are ranging questions from funny to serious on topical news about their club, the competition and AFL in general. Hosts get a solid pass by not dominating the conversation and letting people articulate in their own way. A funny finishing segment is where they've compiled all of the participants' pick for the winning margin that game. Some are waaay off the mark. Worth a gander, in all honesty.

They're prepared to say what they think and not the rehashed dictum that you can readily get on any other number of shows. It is a niche in a glut of more of the same in tv football show options.

Grant Thomas was a dreadful coach but is, IMO, clearly the best person in the media reporting on football at the moment.

There you have it. Although much more moderate on TV than in his coloumn. How few decent commentators there are in Footy.

Marngrook, people are honest in their Bias - manage to pull in some real celebrities. Bernie Quinlan , Paul Vanderhar ( excellent interview )- great old footage, Paul Hudson? I seem to recall? These quietly spoken giants who would never go near the Footy Show or otherlike.They give them the respect they deserve and the old footage is magic.

They had Rob Hulls on to give the weeks tips! Hilarious. How do they get these people? Had a very long interview with Eddie McGuire that I actually enjoyed. Somehow the low production values keep it real.

However, Mangrook deserves kudos for having women play a normal role in this show, being themselves, not trying to be like men or at the other end of the scale, super models. That's outstanding.

Rough Gem if you don't expect too much. Any serious analysis, internet - TV is dead

After a shaky start AFL 360 is quite good. That skype debacle they had last season was hilarious

Re: Best Footy Shows

I am hearing a lot of good things about this channel 31. Apparently there is a good music program on their too. Anyone know whether it can be streamed?

You could check out the Ch31 website at this link http://www.c31.org.au/

For those of us that don't get 31 the Marngrook Footy Show is on Fox Ch.180.

Re: Best Footy Shows

I haven't watched the footy show for many years now, i was just flicking through the channels and there is nothing but rubbish on so i left it on the footy show in the background while i mucked around on the computer.
Now i haven't considered this to be a 'football' show for a long time and is rubbish that tried to pass itself off as comedy with a football theme but they generally did at least try to pretend and have some discussion on the games. The Dogs, swans game just came up so of course i paid attention and they flashed the team up on the screen for maybe 5 secs asked the panellists their tips and went to an ad. WTF??
Is this normal? where's the discussion on the game? how is this effing crap still on the air?? What am i missing?

Re: Best Footy Shows

i mean it goes for like 5 hours or something like that, it isn't like they are pressed for time to have some discussion
Makes me feel dirty just having it on in the background :/

Re: Best Footy Shows

It's a footy related variety show (which is being generous) rather than a football show. The gameplan on OneHD at 8.30 is a pretty reasonable show focussed on the actual games. After that it's kill an hour until Craig Ferguson at 10.30!!

Re: Best Footy Shows

Don't watch any footy shows but a few guys at work like AFL 360 and talk about it quite a bit.
Has or does anyone watch the one on one hd with Chris Grant? is it one week at a time??? What is that one like I have been meaning to take a look?

The Final Siren, it's ok, just a wrap up of the weeks games. Chris Grant is ok, a little stiff and serious, he might start to relax as the season goes on and be a bit more natural.
