Well, AFL website has at least acknowledged that Port Adelaide didn't turn up for finals this year....

Edit: would also help to spell his surname correctly too, wrong both times.

Thirty years after it first went to air, Channel 7 is resurrecting Talking Footy for a third time.
After copping criticism for its lack of football analysis shows, the AFL’s free-to-air broadcaster is giving a new look to an old favourite for 2024.

The move comes off the back of the success of Talking Finals last year which was launched during the bye before the start of the AFL finals series. Premierships captains Joel Selwood and Trent Cotchin were the stars of the show which was hosted by former Channel 9 Footy Show host James Brayshaw and also included Essendon great Tim Watson.

The same line-up is expected to return while new chief football reporter Mitch Cleary will again also have a role.

Staying up to watch TF as a footy-mad kid was one of the great treats of antiquity.

Now I wouldn’t sit through five minutes if I was paid to.

It’ll be replaced by infomercials by this time next year.
 
That Talking Finals Show was ****ing terrible. Joel Selwood, Trent Cotchin, Tim Watson. Would rather watch paint dry.
 
Quite the trip when it turns out Bruce, Malcom/Matthews & Sheahan were the Talking Footy Dream Team..

Life comes at you fast.

One minute you’re watching an armchair-bound Nick Holland answering questions in a parachute tracksuit, the next you’re watching the North Tower billowing black smoke.

I remember staying up late as a kid back then to watch as well, then flicking over and watching Greg Blewett smash a double ton at the bullring & thinking here's the next Don.. by the time the second tower fell his international career was over lol

If that’s what the line-up is, I doubt I'll bother. About the only footy show I watch now is On The Couch, don’t mind Buckley, and J Brown is OK. Liked Nick Riewoldt. Still miss White Line Fever, used to really enjoy that.
 
For those of you too young to remember The News, this was deliberate :D

When the first episode had three times as much conversation about what Cotchin and Selwood did in finals as they did about the teams actually competing ….. click
 
Pickle juice into champagne? Kane you're a f*ckwit. We literally have the most all Australians on our list posted on the AFL website not long ago.

I love how he slips in “they only have 3 top 10 draft picks!” purposely excluding players like JHF and Dixon who cost Top 10s plus more to trade in. We even spent a Pick 10 in the Howard trade that netted us Bergman at Pick 12 and there’s plenty of decent first round talent taken between picks 11-18 that are pretty handy too. Butters, Marshall, SPP, Georgiadies, Jones, hardly “pickle juice” lol.

Cherry pickin’ at its finest.

And even worse was 4 days later we lost to Nick Hollands Hawthorn and tasted the first of many more to come do or die finals losses at home.

Bit going on around that week actually, Hewitt beat Sampras in the US open final, Fos Williams died a week before that.
 
Lol Kane, he was making sense until the pickle juice to champagne comment.

Not sure what that Tim Gossage is so offended about though, of course Adam Simpson and Justin Longmuir are under pressure, i don't see why they shouldn't be. West Coast have barely won a game for 2 years, and longmuir is entering year 5 with only 1 finals campaign under his belt so it's time for them to deliver.

Hinkley and Nicks are also under pressure too, so it is not some Vic v WA consipiracy.
