Looks like just the Wednesday edition this week. Amazing half the time Hutchy mentions at the end about Footy Classified being back next Monday it doesn’t happen. It is probably the fourth time he’s done that in two years.

Definitely no Monday episode this week according to guides posted by TVCynic last week.

Eddie said Hutchy will be back on Monday too. Must be force of habit for them. It definitely wouldn’t make sense to air an episode on Monday up against the live telecast of the Richmond v Melbourne Anzac Day Eve game on 7.

The show was in the early schedules from Nine.

The new Wednesday night team are growing on me. Four smart football minds. Great that it’s on live at 8.30pm tonight.

I think questions have to be asked about where Hutchy’s loyalty lies. How can he front a Nine product each week, yet is also conspiring against them (albeit for a different arm of the business - radio) as CEO of a rival media company?

Nine have him contracted to front Monday Footy Classified only though. His involvement with SEN is a separate issue as he doesn’t contribute directly to 3AW Football in any way.

Because of Wimbledon coverage the show will be on 9Gem Monday 3 July at 8:55 pm. Wednesday will be on the main channel at 8:30pm.

It hasn’t been airing in NSW/QLD while the tennis and women’s cricket has been airing.

Due to Nine’s Ashes coverage on Monday 31 July, Footy Classified with be on 9Gem only at 7:30 pm (11:40pm NRL states) (assuming there is a 5th day in the 5th test).

So if there is no Day 5, they won’t keep it in that timeslot?
It would also likely be also found on the main channel.

I would expect them to keep it at 7:30 even if the cricket finishes early. Would hate to sit down only to find they have moved it elsewhere for such a safe timeslot.
Showing 10:50pm on the main channel in Melbourne.

If Nine was ‘testing the waters’ for Footy Classified in the early 7.30pm last night, the show ranked just 17th in Melbourne and 18th in Adelaide. So I don’t think that will develop into anything permanent. They would have done better with a Travel Guides repeat at 7.30 the FC to follow.

I think the problem is its never advertised or promoted. All I know is the show airs Mon and Weds and each day I check to see where and when its airing for that night. Last night was a prime example, that I just happen to catch it at 7.30.
Also, they need to give Bartel some camera training. He not once looks at the camera and always looks very awkward trying to get his points across.

I think they had no choice last night because of the World Aquatic Championships airing later that evening.
If Nine stuck to regular timeslots of 10pm each Monday, and 8.30pm each Wednesday, both nights on the main channel, that would be good, but it’s been difficult this year with Nine having lots of sport committments (State of Origin, Ashes, Wimbledon, Swimming etc.)
Agree. Matthew Lloyd is miles ahead with his on-air presentation skills. The Wednesday panel have great chemistry but yes, Jimmy comes across very awkwardly sometimes.

Craig Hutchison genuinely being disappointed that North didn’t tank on the weekend, and not able to see the point of the rest of the panel last night was truly mind boggling.
Im glad the other three called him out on it.
