TFS Rebooted - Gointocarlton - 03-20-2019
I'm watching, I like it. Reminds me of Before the Game.
Re: TFS Rebooted - Gointocarlton - 03-21-2019
I guess I was the only one in Melbourne who tuned in.

I watched it, but I'm not sure what can be said!
It looks like a work in progress, and it came across like a summary of the other shows. It will be interesting to see how they go after they have some games to talk about, because it looks to me like it's setup to actually talk more footy once they have some footy to talk about!

Why the footy show is irrelevant:
Its year 3 of AFL W, and they are still concentrating solely on mens football.
Innovate people. Get on board earlier and use some lesser lights and concentrate on womens footy for a bit.
It wont hurt.

I haven't watched it for a long time, occasionally change the channel and notice its on, watch for 5 minutes and move on.
On one of these occasions i happened to see Darcy Vescio on it. She did alright, was very outgoing and seems to enjoy the limelight. A natural. Within 5 minutes Sam Newman had made some comment about trying to get her into his car....and it went south from there. Darcy handled it well and largely ignored Sam, but called him on it too.
Perhaps thats why they don't focus on AFLW anymore.

I flicked between TFB and TFS last night, I thought TFS was much better than the first week and they actually spent far more time discussing football in detail.
Yet the TFS ratings crashed, I suspect because the traditional audience wants the buffoonery! I thought Lloyd and Cornes actually made sense without being controversial. For me to credit either of those two the commentary must have been of reasonable quality and impartial.
Ironically, I thought TFB had lost some of it's gloss, it's starting to feel a bit repetitious! I don't know how long Mick Molloy has signed for but I suspect it will grow old rapidly if they don't get the Molloy, Pang and Maher mix right.
One thing is clear, past player talent is very thin on the ground. There are just too many jobs for the boys and not enough quality commentators. This is partially due to the laziness of network producers who use the employment of past players and a free pass to the back-rooms.

I don't like either show to be honest.
Re: TFS Rebooted - Baggers - 03-28-2019
Love The Front Bar, and oh so smart not to mess with the successful format.
I caught some of the Thursday Footy Show (on a Wednesday) and it is a vast improvement on that previous cr@p. Given time it'll improve in the ratings but probably not to the level it was. Sadly, buffoonery (as the Spotted One so aptly named it) does rate. But for those who like a laugh (without mocking and ridiculing women, the disabled, the mentally ill etc), The Front Bar delivers.

Had a fair bit on last night on the women's footy.
