Gillon McLachlan was not able to appear on the show tonight mainly due to the Hawthorn racist allegations controversy, but recorded a short message at the MCG following the AFL grand final entertainment press conference this afternoon.
However, Gil did appear on AFL 360 on Fox Footy earlier tonight.

Then, on Thursday, 24 November, Mick, Sam and Andy will be joined by former Australian batsman and 7Cricket commentator, Matthew Hayden, fresh off his coaching duties with Pakistan for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, alongside iconic West Indies fast bowler, Curtly Ambrose, to launch the 2022-23 Summer of Cricket on Seven, ahead of the highly anticipated Australia v West Indies Test, which starts on 30 November.
Molloy said The Front Bar team was raring to go for the All Sports edition, as he looked back on his favourite sports stories of the year.
“There are so many, but probably Tom Brady divorcing Gisele Bundchen is right up there. Good to know I still have a chance,” he said.
“Novak Djokovic missing the Australian Open was pretty massive, though I thought he could’ve been escorted on to the plane by a couple of ball kids.
“The SuperBowl half-time show with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre and Mary J Blige was good, but I just thought it should have had Noiseworks or even a bit of Oingo Boingo. Missed opportunity in my opinion.”

Furphy fronts up to The Bar
The Front Bar returns live and free in February 2023 on Seven and 7plus
Following a jam-packed 2022 season, which covered a wintery edition, cricket, the Commonwealth Games and the AFL, everyone’s favourite sports show, The Front Bar, is set to return to the screens of Seven in 2023 with a fresh new beer at the bar.
In a first for fans, resident patrons Mick Molloy, Andy Maher and Sam Pang will be serving Geelong-born ale Furphy when they kick-start happy hour at the bar on Channel 7 and 7plus from Wednesday, 1 February 2023.
Making its triumphant return ahead of the 2023 AFL Premiership Season, The Front Bar will enjoy a mega 2023 with 37 episodes set to air across Seven with Furphy locked in as The Front Bar’s drink of choice each week.
The Front Bar host, Mick Molloy, said: “Furphy slid into my DMs, we hooked up and the rest is history. I’ve always been a fan of Furphy. It’s a beer. It’s from Geelong and…it’s a beer.
“It’s great to have Furphy on board. They had to pass my stringent taste test first, which went for about two weeks, but I have high standards.
“I have a reputation in the industry as a tough deal maker, but the free six pack eventually got me over the line,” he said.
“We wanted to change something, and once I checked that Andy Maher’s contract was watertight, we decided to switch to Furphy.”
