Dave Hughes joins the Footy Show

I don't find Dave Hughes funny at all and his voice grates on my nerves. Does anyone else think that the Footy Show will 'jump the shark' because of this?

The stable must have needed to find him a Gig.

It could go either way for the Footy Show. This could be a massive hit for the show or a massive flop.

Personally I don't find Hughesy that funny at all but each to their own I suppose. I doubt I'll watch the Footy Show much this year if at all as I haven't watched it properly for years.

Guess Hughes is finding the going a little tough since he left the project.

Not that he'd need the money.

While I'd much prefer someone who wasn't a scum supporter I think he'll be a decent enough addition.

Peter Helliar would have been much better though.

The whole AFL footy show needs an overhaul like the NRL version has done over the years.

It's pretty stale.

I always laugh at Hughesy. Not the greatest comedian, but I'm a sucker for a funny voice and stupid facial expressions (Jim Carey and Adam Sandler both make me laugh too).

Suits the vibe of the show pretty well, can be a bit more risque that he was allowed to be on Before the Game and I'm just glad they're bringing back someone to make jokes (Dogs that look like Gary was getting pretty old).

Would have been perfect timing for TFS to get a FEMALE Woman type person on the panel.

Hughes isn't funny, he is just a whiny voiced whinger.

Will it ruin the Footy Show? Probably not. i cant stand James Brayshaw and still watch it.

Think the shark jumped about 7 or 8 years ago.
Think Hughsey is over rated but then cant stand Jim Carey and millions love him.

Well The Footy Show be no Worse or No Better then Before.

He be just like Trevor Marmalade was when Eddie was on.

Only Problem he is a big Scum Fan
