The AFL Footy Show celebrated it's 500th show on April 7 2011 after 18 years of broadcasting. Viewers were invited to vote on their five favourite moments from over the years.
I don't know how Crawf didn't get Australian of the year not only after his run/walk but, also him riding his bike from Melbourne to Perth. Crawf, you deserve that honour mate.
i remember, the hairy man from china, Yu Zhenhuan, singing "can you feel the love tonight" to Garry Lyon, on one of the grand final footy shows if i recall correctly. It made Garry cry and it was quite amazing. i cant find it anywhere on the internet unfortunately. that was one of the top 5 moments for me.
Can tell he was totally blindsided when they first showed it especially after he talked about trying to run off. Was speechless, and Sam went straight with it :P
I remember watching the show back in 95 when EJ died and the came back from the break for the last segment. Doug lost a father figure in EJ and it showed at the end. I still get goose bumps from the footage at the VIC v SA game and the lap of honour around the G.
Never missed Thursday night Live The footy show a 6 pack of beers and a good laugh. For all the cheap shots from people over the years about the show they raised money for different appeals and charities and gave away many Nissan Navara utes ...I miss the boys and the main Man Sam...The show would not work in 2022 because of political correctness unfortunately....But as I have always said..That's why TVs have On /Off buttons... Thanks Boys for great memories.
6:26 knowing what we know now about how Bert Newton had to have his leg amputated for health reasons make these scenes seem like foreshadowing. first Sam comes out with his leg completely missing, and then Bert comes out crying about his leg. maybe its just weird synchronicity or something, or maybe its life imitating art
@@davidmoutien619 A 100% and why did something so good leave our screens ohh thats right we produced a generation of snowflakes that generations down the line will look as these as the ones who destroyed what it meant to be Australian
what a great game & an great bunch of guys... Australia we can be proud... AFL is possibly the greatest ball game ever. only people who say it isn't is people that have never played it... once played... never forgotten... that's AFL. r.i.p. Teddy & all the legends of the years... too many to name but you'll always be remembered through the game we all love. ps. i grew up in Geelong in the days of VFL... thankfully it's now a national game. AFL is hard to beat.
For all I sometimes got a bit tired of Crawf’s silly antics, BOY, did that opinion of him quickly disappear when he took on the challenges of Running/walking to Adelaide, let alone riding from Melbourne to Perth, I thought OMG, extraordinary! Nearly as heroic as those he’s doing these feats in aid of. 👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👍👏
A sport for men and a show for men, women out there if your listening you have single handedly destroyed our beautiful working class game and shows we called our own can't wait for the next 20 years, god help us
I don’t know how long the footy show has been going all that I now a long time, but I remember every Thursday day night and explicitly the end of year one me and my family would be laughing our heads off for how funny it but after Sam was fired from we stop watching it but I wish the show never got axed. I would do any thing to bring back the good old day.
Not actually trying to be funny but Bert Newton was one of the celebrity guests on the stretcher like Garry after Sam came out with the mangled leg, before he passed away Bert had one of his legs amputated due to disease.
Great Moment when the Ox 🐂 slammed Sam, and the moment we found out about EJ was one of the saddest moments in sporting history I had the pleasure of crossing the bridge that honours the great man in December 2019
Found the NRL one dull , a different kind of humour, might be the Sydney influence. The AFL version was far more laid back, and the humour was way more, well .. normal.
@@TheFykle Depends what era mate, the footy show (NRL SYDNEY) was on a decline in the last 5 years or so. I have to admit to a degree so was the AFL footy show... political corectness has F'd everything!
The mocking of Gary had to be done up for gigs but I have my own top five. Actually top ten. *10.* The week after the pie in the face where Sam wrote half the response compilation. *9.* Sam's walk on with the gay couple from The Block, how did this get on TV? *8.* One letter on Sam's mailbag is from a female viewer wanting him, and he reads out, "If you are ever in Adelaide..." that was it, deal breaker. *7.* Sam doing blackface on Nicky Winmar, and his comeback a year later. *6.* This was on Tasmania television where during a dismal Pies season you have the promo and it looked like this. Still the one Win 9 And this flashed up on one. Collingwood Still the one Win 9 losses *5.* And on a Magpies and Tasmania note The Examiner TV guide had this on Grand Final day. 2:00 Collingwood Magpies AFL 1999 Premiers 6:00 Movie: Mission: Impossible *4.* The first Street Talk that set the stage where Sam tries to talk to one person and, "The people you run into when you haven't got a gun." *3.* The revelation of the M&M Light Blues. My father, a die hard Carlton fan, saw it as sacrilege. *2.* Dermie invading Trevor Marmalade's house the week after he came onto the show drunk. Same episode when Sam dressed up as and mocked Tony Libratorie. *1.* Jack Dyer and his story on when he thought he killed another player.
There should be a show america about nfl that has a similar format to the afl footy show called primetime football with jimmy fallon as host peyton manning as co host and kevin hart as comedian behind the bar
Yeah there was. David Schwarz got the pie in the face because his former club, Melbourne, was performing VERY poorly, but the guy who gave him the pie ('Sam' Newman) went just that bit too far - basically, Newman was calling Melbourne clowns. That shove that he got from 'Ox' Schwarz was not a staged joked either. That made the news the next day.
The death of The Footy Show started as soon as the Garry & Billy love triangle feud began and Garry left the show. All downhill since that moment and look at the show now, an abomination. So sad. I loved The Footy Show.
