Leigh is about the only thing going for the new show so far…
Bit awkward that AFL 360 has a segment called The Furnace.
The Sunday Footy Show returns today at 10am in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Tony Jones just had a meltdown after a joke style question during the quiz. This bloke is so thinned skinned.

Graphics look good and fresh, but they don’t match the set?
The graphics and set haven’t changed.

I was actually thinking the opposite. They really need a re-fresh.

Haven’t they? Goes to show how often I have watched. Just looks weird how graphics are so white and light and then the set is blue and green…
Yeah they must be at least 5 years old at this point.
Think the set was updated at the start of COVID

The graphics have definitely changed. Last year compared to this year:
Looks like they are now using the WWOS logo rather than the traditional Nine watermark as well.

Minor tweaks it seems.

You wonder what Warburton / Lewy are sitting back thinking about HSV-7 broadly at the moment, looking at GTV-9, everything so far in 2024 has just come together seamlessly and been smash hits… Ping: @BJT2

Interesting choice to drop “The Footy Show” branding from the Gather Round special despite the same talent and production team being involved. The choice of Tuesday night seems like a conscious decision to avoid going head-to-head with The Front Bar which may also run a Gather Round show on the Wednesday.
