Footy Classified will cut through the fallout from an off-season for the ages that saw high-profile departures at Melbourne and Carlton, a new succession plan at Port Adelaide, and a change of leadership at Sydney.

The panels will leave no stone unturned in tackling the biggest headlines shaping the season ahead.
A legend of the game, James Hird makes his return to the 9Network this year, bringing a wealth of football knowledge from his days as an Essendon premiership captain, Brownlow Medallist and coach. Having built a strong media presence with his strategic insights, Hird’s addition to Footy Classified is set to shake things up in a big way.

I liked the Monday lineup but I was no a fan of the Tuesday show.
They need a female representative. All white males
I agree.
Three years after their infamous press conference stoush Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge and reporter Tom Morris are set to break bread.
The pair haven’t spoken since Beveridge launched an extraordinary personal attack on Morris after the Dogs lost the 2022 season opening game against Melbourne.
Next Tuesday night Beveridge will be seated alongside Morris on Footy Classified with the Dogs premiership coach a guest panellist on the Ch 9 show.
Eddie McGuire hosts the Tuesday night version of the footy talk show with former Essendon great James Hird and Morris.
Beveridge has agreed to appear on the show as part of a deal with the AFL Coaches’ Association.
Essendon coach Brad Scott will join Footy Classified for a must-watch special episode tonight at 9.45pm on Channel 9 and 9Now, sitting alongside former Bombers coach James Hird in a blockbuster panel discussion.
Scott fronts the panel amid bombshell reports linking Hird to a potential return to the coaching ranks - with both men appearing on the desk together for the first time.
With five wins and four losses, pressure is mounting on Brad Scott’s Bombers ahead of this Friday night’s blockbuster Dreamtime at the ‘G clash with Richmond.
Hosted by Eddie McGuire, with leading footy journalist Tom Morris also on the panel, tonight’s episode promises unmissable insight, opinion and analysis from those at the heart of the AFL world.
Adding to the drama, the panel will preview a huge Round 11, including the highly anticipated reunion between form team of the competition, the Western Bulldogs, and former star Bailey Smith, who now lines up for Geelong.
