The downfall of Fox Footy.

[hawkman]

Allowed to? Yes

Will they? Only in Vic although Gerrard does fly for SEN so maybe

They probably will then as they are competing with 7. As much as BT annoys me I would probably prefer listening to him from the ground than if Fox are calling from a TV trying to work out if a ball has gone through for a goal or point.

The Fox exclusive games they will probably call from the studio if they aren't from Melbourne or Perth as there is no competition

“We’re expecting new subscribers in ‘25 and we can’t wait for them to enjoy the combination of Huddo and Gerard calling Friday nights, we know our audiences will value their clear, accurate, and descriptive call.”

A nice crack at BT!

Now now. It could have been a crack at JB as well
Brawshaw, not Bennett.

Leigh must’ve come in cheap because I don’t know what new audience they’re going to attract by featuring him.

Friday night commentary is an obvious winner, but still looks like we’re getting the same programming with some reshuffled seats.

No real response to 7 other than we can call games now.

 

[smy1305]

Riewoldt isn't that bad. The fact that Brown is still on there is the problem

100% - if people think Lyon is the issue with OTC then I question your footballing nous. Good old JB adds nothing and it is fairly obvious he is provided with "talking points" each week vs the other guys just using old fashioned football eyeballs.

Jack Riewoldt to host On the Couch.

Just thinking, Nerd and Aldi Nerd on Friday nights will be great. But how jarring is it going to be going 30 odd weeks without having to listen to BT and Brayshaw and then having them as the only option for the GF call.

 

[LordLucifer]

Lyon replacing Robbo on 360 ............ doesn't thrill me.

Riewoldt hosting On The Couch ........... jobs for the boys and also doesn't thrill me.

Hudson & Whately commentating together .......... a serious step in the right direction.

Jack Riewoldt to host On the Couch.

This one did surprise me given that OTC has always been hosted by a more seasoned media performer. The combination of Riewoldt, Buckley and Brown doesn't really excite me.

The next move I’d make is dropping Midweek Tackle and putting a revived Best on Ground on Tuesdays, and Bounce on Wednesdays.

There’s no point in having another serious analytical program after 360 when Seven and Nine will be doing this during the week, so I’d look at some light relief during the week.

Bounce with no studio audience, with the Chief, Gazey, Moons and Bernie.

hopefully by mid season when ratings are down on 7 because people have a choice, they sack them

What the actual **** are you smoking? Best on Ground and Bounce are two of the worst shows I've ever seen. Have you heard Ruby Schleicher speak? It's like screeching a blackboard.

Nine will have Footy Classified and Seven will have their new show Agenda Setters. Fox cannot compete with them if they throw up another analysis program in the timeslot.

As I said above, I think an entertainment show would go much better and differentiate from 7 and 9. Schleicher is brilliant, she is a rising talent in the media.

people watching for the personalities on the show, not necessarily the analysis?

Don’t mind moving bounce and BOG away from games but unless you add a journos section to 360 isn’t Midweek a different format to couch/360? Although I think the beauty of midweek tackle is you can flick to stories your interested in if watching delayed

What?? Seriously??

 

[calculon559]

What?? Seriously??

Yeah, 7 still has the Grand Final live exclusively, though I'm certain Fox will have their own call for the replay like they do with the NRL.

ok - if we have to listen to BT butcher another big game by calling every 3rd players names and then incorrectly calling every 5th players, then it will be insanity. I know his mate who was the Ch7 CEO has moved on so possibly the gravy train has ceased.

 

[Elite Master]

Lyon is a better fit hosting On The Couch, won't work on 360 as co-host. Not sure why he would prefer this. Would have preferred Gerald Healy come back to host.

 

[Slime Roy]

On the couch is dead. Friday nights on the other hand should be great, Huddo and the nerd are a great tandem

Aren't they both Geelong Shills??
Can see that being an issue..

Doesn't the nerd hate Huddo?

They're best mates.

 

[Breretonisahood]

"As my old coach and new co-worker Leigh Matthews used to say..."

Or “this game will be won in the midfield….” Oh really Browny?
