Footy Show

[Rizzo]

This should be a standing question....

Could someone south of the border let us Sydney folk know if it's worth staying up for Eddie Everywhere? I don't think the Swans got a mention last time I was suffering insomnia.

I'll come back and check before bedtime.

Thanks in advance!

Hi There,

Ray Martin mentioned on A Current Affair earlier tonight that the AFL Footy show will be a first round FINALS special...so i would be extremely disappointed with Eddie and his magpie gang if the SWANS didn't rate a mention considering they are one half of the 2nd Preliminary final......worth staying awake for....telecast time in Sydney in scheduled for 11.35pm but it never starts on time, generally starts at 11.55pm - 12.00am...as the NRL footy show always runs late.....if you can't stay awake, set your DVD or VCR recorder....generally i have found that it also runs over time and ends up finishing around 2.00 - 2.20am!

There's a vague possibility that I might be spotted in the background of street talk this week. It's in Lygon Street.

Was tempted to wander up with a stupid look on my face, and then hit Sam with the Melbourne Arts student treatment when he's least expecting it.

Could someone post at roughly what stage (ie how many minutes in) the Swans get discussed.

[Grant]

well about 45 mins in now,and no mention of any teams/tips etc.

Pretty boring so far,just Aker having a whinge about the draw,and about Hamiil bumping him. Then street talk(and i didnt see you Charlie) then a bit of discussion about Dermie,and Dermie,and the hawks.
Now currently talking to Mark Williams(of the port coach variety)which still hasnt excited as yet,although he just confirmed that Primus has had an operation and has done his ACL and will be out for 12 months and may be career over.

Nup (not that I'm complaining about that). The bloke they were talking to at the end of the segment was the guy he was talking to when I wandered past.

Incidentally, the school those kids were from is in my suburb as well. It's the one we used to sneer at (until they went from being the school that all the feral no-hopers went to, to suddenly topping the rankings for my area last year! )

10:30pm- 1 hour in,still nothing.

Update since previous post-had Glen Archer on and now Bret Deledio talking about NAB Rising Star award.
Only been through one game so far,Kangas and Port.

[Rizzo]

Thanks all.

China Mieville is sounding the better option...

I'm guessing they will do the usual...."before we go, tips for West Coast V Sydney boys?" where the panel give two word answers and then the credits roll...at 2am. Snore.

Hope you guys ang gals in sydney arent sitting up to hear them talk about sydney.Seems we are last on the agenda.
They have now done roos-port game and cats-dees game.In going to the break Eddie said coming up is Almost footy legends and then crows v saints.
They might squeeze us in right at the end will be after 11pm here by then which could well be 1:30 am in sydney

[Grant]

hour and a half in now,and apparantly we are on after this ad break,i think you may be right Rizzo,they will do our game then time to go in a hurry.

[westernswan]

What a joke, here in perth i aint going to wait up for this terrible biasm, if they are trying to promote the game in our state why make our fans stay up till near 1am to hear 1 minute of dialogue spekaing about the clubs biggest game in past few years !!!

pi$$ poor from the footy show,whatever happens though atleast we will have one more week on the footyshow (atleast)

11.05 for Swans WC game

The best part about it was the Banner for McLaren

[Frog]

I suddenly remembered why I don't watch the "Collingwood" footy show any more ...

[Grant]

Yeah that was good,and the comment that maybe Gardiner has a broken toe and is limping around.

And apparantly Aker WANTS us to win the flag but thinks Eagles will.
