In what seems to make good programming sense, Nine’s Footy Classified has added three more Live episodes across the next three Thursday nights with Garry Lyon, Craig Hutchison, Caroline Wilson, Matthew Lloyd and Damian Barrett.
Nine broadcast a special last night in response to the emerging stories of drugs and corruption in sport. It pulled 482,000 across three states but 353,000 of those were in Melbourne alone.
The panel will discuss the evolving drama that has plunged the sporting world into turmoil after the Australian Crime Commission yesterday released its bombshell results of a year-long investigation.
Tim Cleary, Head of Production and Programming at GTV9, said: “These are extraordinary times, the likes of which the AFL, and Australian sport, have not seen before.
“The audience response to Footy Classified last night shows there’s a big appetite for what’s happening, and Nine will continue to be at the forefront of this story, and anything else that’s happening in football.”
9.30pm on Channel Nine February 14, 21, 28.

I just love Caro…..omg I love her. Honest, smart, unreserved………..she makes the show.
On GEM at midnight for other states.
Looking forward to see how much more sensationalistic tripe can come out of Caro’s mouth. My favourites were calling “the Weapon” a “sports scientist” – which he isn’t – and using the term “secret chemical laboratory” …which naturally she prefaced by saying she “might be overstating it”.
Forgot it was on Thursday, checked the website so i could watch it and it’s not there. Where can i catch up on the episode?

I stand to be corrected but did Sydney get this show last year and will we get it this year?
Agree with oztvheritage… The show was a lot better without Hutchy…. Footy show works better without Newman, too, but thats for another thread…
Hutchinson looks very similar to Jason Dunstall these days
@oztvheritage Totally agree, the show was at it’s best without Hutchie. I am not a huge fan of Damian Barrett, but it just seemed to work well last night.
@Rutzie, I too am surprised AFL360 did not go for an early return.
Thanks Footy Classified for taking the chance, I for one will be tuning in to these three unscheduled episodes.
God forbid we have an intelligent football show on FTA before the witching hour. (Big respect to Marngrook). Come on someone, take the chance.
I can’t believe Fox Footy haven’t brought back AFL 360 early. Given what’s happened at Essendon this week I would’ve thought a 24/7 AFL channel would be all over this.
Good to hear – And last nights show without the Craig was excellent – We did not have to put up with Craig being a smart…s and having a go at Carro!!!!
Good idea. It didn’t seem right that they were just going to leave it at one episode then come back in march like usual. I will be watching. Still hoping they will put full episodes on ninemsn catch up this year. Just checked the footy classified website and it hasn’t been updated from last year. Grant Thomas is still in their promo picture. Their online content needs improving.
I just love sites that haven’t updated their photos when I am trying to do them a favour. What have they been doing since September?
