lehmo knows how to wreck a good show

Haha another social justice experiment fails

PC = poor tv. No one will watch PC bullshit. Aussies like to laugh at ourselves not this PC crap

Ahhh another case of Get woke - Go broke! When will these people realise that political correctness is nothing but a destructive force....

Its competition? A beer advertisment disguised as a TV show.

Oh no what rubbish will they replace it with _!!!

No surprise there. Should have cut their losses first show. It was destined to be axed after 5 minutes of viewing. shockingtv

Could be the daily double of sackings this week........Carlton's Brendan Bolten is not looking too good if Collingwood win by more than 12 Goals.

Should have stuck with the old crew! .... and bring back Trevor Marmalade!

If only Gary......

There is another success for our new wave of TV producers, millennials/ gen Y.....no idea how to put a show to air. Their attitude of telling audiences what they SHOULD like....sees us moving to no ads, Netflix and Stan....

Let down by 3 things!! Female ✔️ Wheelchair✔️ 3rd rate Comedian ✔️ Buffoon ✔️ Footballer ✔️ Aboriginal....... Muslim....... LBTQG+......

Needed Sam nothing without him sadly

The show was dead years ago. The new panel never stood a chance. It was a terrible line-up and the producers should have known better.

So you're saying that a show that had unfunny ex Victorian footballers and only catered for the Victorian football market can't succeed nationally? Thin end of the wedge stuff.

Breaking: we’ve sacked all our editors.

Do gooder political correctness just like the today show. Turns out people don’t want a female presenter all the time.

Everyone saw the demise of this show before it started.

Bring back Eddie the goose

This is what happens when you try to appeal to those who never watched you in the first place.

Get woke go broke

Not surprised at all. Get a b grade comedian at best too host a football and washed up has been footballer aswell and you the makings of a sinking ship. A horse doing a shit during a parade would get a better following than this show.

Not just seven, more like 20 years! This show has been dying a slow death for a long time. goodriddance

BK6785 Ho thanks CAN WE REPLACE FREE TO AIR TV AUSTRALIA . DON'T STOP NOW CHANNEL 9 . THERE IS STILL 23 HOURS OF BULLSHIT ON DAY IN DAY OUT.😂😂😂😆

Lol g with those hosts I just don’t know how it failed ?!

Bad Television.....Cringe worthy at every segment.

So bad they dumped it twice

Good Riddance... Australian TV NOT fooling anyone(with any degree of intelligence) several young Attractive T&A 'empowered' women, pretending to make boring Pommy Colonialist Sports a 'science'?! 🤨👎👎

Had to be done

dumped, humped and stumped

Well 'duh' 7 shows too many. They are in the Back Bar. The Front Bar is where the crowd are.

Wow. Dumped twice in the same sentence. It must be bad 😂😂

SUB!!!

Lol not surprising......

No mention that your new owners thought right to not tell them before the show so they ended with “see you next week” poor form to hard working cast and crew

That's what happens when you hand your show over to lefty cucks and activists.

“Not captured..”? It would take more than 18” high fences and razor wire to keep me anywhere near that mess...

Maybe the national IQ will rise slightly

Back to the drawing board for Channel 9!

Sad.

Finally.

This deserves a 'BREAKING' tag...why?

It was just unwatchable!

Nothing last forever not even the FOOTY show

footy show fans are obviously too old to appreciate a new idea. Let it die and start again somewhere else. I personally would've gone back to it with Dylan and Fev on the panel.

good

Would it have succeeded without The Front Bar for competition?

Cue shadenfreude

Only 20 years too late

Good riddance.

Sam and Billy the only ones that kept the show alive, big mistake listening to the vocal minority

good
