chuck crawf behind the bar!!

Agreed, without the crawf on the show giving sammy shit the show isn't worth watching. Even if he has someone writing most of his gags, would be hilarious!

I agree he helps make the show. Although someone obviously writes his stuff for him as he is way too stupid to come up with some of the stuff.

Marmalade has to go he has been boring for the last 10 years.

Put Billy Brownless behind the bar- He's a classic!

"Bone" the show and get C10 to have a Footy Show that in some way dedicates at least part of its running time to discussing football.

Not how Sams nuts are,or how James has brought a new house or how Lyon cried when he broke his leg....

Never been a huge fan of Marmalade. He got stale about 7-8 years ago. Strauchnie though...I could put up listening to Marmalades rehashed one liners for 3 days on end before Id feel the need to watch Pete Hellier speak. Hellier in all of his guises, simply is not funny in the slightest.

[the big bang]

i rekon what crawf does is good. he's that dumb that it makes it funny. some of my funniest mates are the dumbest blokes on the planet!!

I'm glad someone else feels that way. I've watched Hellier for years, and just do not find him the least bit funny. I don't even chuckle at his attempts at humour. I guess it depends on your sense of humour but I've found Before the Game a lot funnier since Molloy took his place. As for Strauchnie ... that was funny for about 2 shows ... the concept of this unfit yobbo being drafted as a rookie for an AFL club ... now it's just painful.

Never for 1 second have i found that Strauny thing remotely funny. Pure self indulgence.
I rarely watch the Footy Show theses days and he is on I will watch it twice as least !

I reckon Strauchnie is a Victorian thing that no one anywhere outside of its borders finds anything remotely amusing. I don't care though as I haven't watched the Collingwood show for years so if they put all the wankers I hate on the show it's less chance of me seeing them on TV which can only be a good thing.

What about having Sammy kekovich doing a 2 minute spill once a show on the weeks events???

If you don't know much about Sammy, have a read of this. 'Centre Square' was a $1,500 a ticket event at Punt
Road before and after the Grand Final, Sam Kekovich was a guest speaker, and this is what he had to say....

My fellow Australians,
I've been invited here to talk to Centre Square, in these big marquees on
Punt Road Oval. And speaking of Punt Road Oval, let me tell you something
for nothing - Jack Dyer would be spinning in his grave if he could see the
place right now. Full of a bunch of Collins Street corporate criminals,
Chapel Street designer cats, and Toorak poodle rooters, who have about as
much interest in football as Paris Hilton has an interest in astrophysics.
Captain Blood didn't break every bone in his body and commit multiple acts
of on-field heroism and homicide so he could see his beloved home ground
turned into an over-priced pre-match party for chardonnay-swilling spivs
and their assorted hangers-on attending their one footy match of the year,
whilst tens of thousands of hard-working honest battlers who love the game
and love their team are denied the chance to attend the greatest game in
the world.
I've had a gutful. Whilst this bunch of Armani-wearing, Audi-driving,
Prada-carrying, try-hards monopolise priceless vantage points in the MCG,
millions of genuine footy fans who have followed their team through thick
and thin have to make do by watching the game at home or down at the local
pub, whilst the Melbourne spivocracy get to sit on their fat posteriors in
a marquee and wouldn't even know the way to the MCG without a tour guide.
Since most of you haven't attended a single match this year and know
nothing about football, let me give you a few tips - Geelong wears blue,
Hawthorn wears brown, and in case you were wondering, there'll be no
fashions on the field at half-time, and no, the Lexus Centre across the
road is not a prestige car dealership.
Centre Square is not only unfair. Centre Square is not only inequitable.
Centre Square is downright un-Australian! And so are all of you! In fact,
I bet you're all so un-Australian that you all hate the Anzacs, you booed
Cathy Freeman, and you want to cull cute, cuddly, koalas because one of
them once jumped out in front of your Range Rover on the way to Mount
Hotham.
But it's not just you who are at fault. I also blame the AFL - those
out-of-touch, opera-loving, elitists at AFL headquarters who are
responsible for this unconscionable abomination need to take a good hard
look in the mirror. That is if they can handle the sight of moral, and
spiritual, bankruptcy staring back at them.
I also blame the government. Our new Prime Minister has clearly failed his
first test of leadership if he thinks it's acceptable to allow an event
like this to go ahead without a pre-emptive strike by the SAS. The PM is
doing nothing to ease the squeeze on working families on the bottom rung of
the ladder of opportunity who just want to see their team in the Granny.
But he'd better get his act together and do something about it, or millions
of angry footy fans will do it for him. Revolutions have been started and
governments have been overthrown for lesser outrages than this. And people
ask why we need capital punishment.
So cut off your silver tails, tear up your fur coats, and get fair dinkum.
Our great Australian game is the greatest game in the world - the game of
the people. Not some once-a-year marquee piss-up for an overpaid,
over-dressed, pack of passionless corporate cretins who only turn up for
the free chardonnay and then spend the actual game looking about as
interested, and excited, as a line of Easter Island statues.
So don't bother coming across to the MCG this afternoon, because you're not
welcome. The next train out of Melbourne leaves Richmond station in 10
minutes - so make sure you're on it. Or, better still, under it.
So don't be un-Australian - everyone here in Centre Square can get stuffed!
You know it makes sense. I'm Sam Kekovich.

He knows how to get a point across!!! It's funny, clever and very Australian, the lamb chop adds for Australia Day are amazing, he could do an awesome wrap-up of the weeks footy and non-footy events that would be informing and hilarious.

[Booney]

I heard Sam talk about this and this wasn't in fact one of his speeches. He said he was happy to take credit for it but some of the material is his,the rest he has no idea where it came from.

[finn]

trevor marmalade will not be replaced by peter hellier or his alter ego strauchnie. word from somebody from before the game.
not that I really care one way or the other.

[Leaping Lindner]

Peter Helliar is about as funny as the death of a loved family pet. He'll fit right in on The Footy Show if it comes about.

Oh shit thats funny. Most laughs I have had when the name Peter Helliar has been mentioned in the same context...
