The Front Bar

Looks like the show has its biggest live audience in history: 350 fans (according to Andy Maher) inside Magarey Room at the Adelaide Oval.

Missed opportunity to not have Adelaide city (which is beautiful from that room overlooking the Torrens) as the backdrop. Don’t even need a screen to show it’s LIVE!

I thought the set looked a bit cheap, but I guess it will only ever be used once

I reckon the crowd was more a focus than the set

Probably to try and hide the set as much as possible!

I’m lucky enough to be in there tonight, what a great vibe! I do agree that it would’ve been nice to show off the Torrens’ and CBD however.

Yet to watch it on 7+ but the lighting looks shocking. How did that ever get to air?

Recall the project once used a nice glass room type thing at Adelaide oval with a nice view over the river and city. Should have gone for that.

They changed the lighting set-up mid show last night, I mean during live programming they were changing the lighting positions.

That’s the room they’re in - the set is blocking the view although I can’t remember if The Project did their broadcast in daylight savings - might be harder to capture a night view from that room.

Great to see Tony ‘Godra’ again. What a player.

My favourite moment last night was Mick and Andy saying Sam was wearing a diarrhoea brown shirt. I answered on the Instagram polls that Sam was wearing a terracotta and clay shirt.

Unpopular opinion but it’s a better show without Mick, exact opposite can be said when Sam isn’t there.

Why do they put the hosts in daggy check shirts every week on this show? Quite unflattering on guys with dad bods. The wardrobe needs a serious update on this show.

Hard disagree. I’m not a footy fan, but I watch The Front Bar because I like Mick and Sam. I love Mick’s Multi and I wish Sam did the multi when Mick’s absent and shows off a clip and says “I’d like to wager.”

Last night’s episode was more funnier than the 29th of June.

I think that’s the whole point. The premise is people at the pub talking footy.

Each to their own, but i’ve always felt that Mick ruins the pacing of the show, wether it’s interrupting the others/guests or trying to throw in one last joke, it throws off the conversation and I can’t stand that. If he spoke less and the show moved freely, it’d be far more enjoyable to watch. I can’t really remember him doing this on Before The Game but I would’ve been too young to notice, but it’s majorly evident on TFB.

Also he uses the same 4 jokes every week, I’m so sick of hearing “Hello girls, dinner’s on”
