It's been mentioned before on the Fox thread, I think it's worthy of its own thread going forward

Twice a week 7.30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
I've watched a few now and the structure and is on the improve.

Uses a number of panellists, most appear to be Herald Sun affiliated
Jay Clark
Sam Landsberger
Scott Gullan
Glenn McFarlane
Lauren Wood
Jon Ralph

The lack of ex-AFL players is what gives this show a bit of difference

The last couple of weeks have had a couple of interesting discussions. Bailey Smith to Collingwood, the week before that the stats on decreasing numbers of indigenous players in the draft
 
Yep as a poster said on another thread. Feels like this is what 360 should be.
The talk the other day about the reduction in indigenous players was pretty good.

It's a good show that has a number of things going for it:
• Only 30 minutes instead of an hour
• A host that's able to keep things moving yet still adds to the conversation
• Enough panelists to rotate through so the show doesn't feel stale
• Barebones production; no distractions, to the point
• They just talk about the footy news and not themselves
 
Watching Midweek Tackle this week one of the things that stood out with the panel.

They tend not to interrupt each other or try and talk over each other while talking or making a point

Makes for some easier watching than Footy Classified
 
Both Gullan and Landsberger don't have alot of positive things to say about Hawthorn so don't rate them as balanced journos. Don't think I've ever seen Gullan write or talk about us in his whole HS career. Might not mean he dislikes us just has no interest in us as a club. Landsberger takes pot shots from time to time and I find it funny when discussing Bailey Smith he is very quick to deflect the talk to " He's going to Collingwood" can't bring himself to discuss the possibility he could be Hawthorn bound. Clark is the only one on there who advocates and talks glowingly about us when we come up in discussion.

I am sure 360 will acknowledge his passing as AFL Tonight did. I imagine Midweek Tackle will be postponed tonight.
yeah, first thing they mentioned on 360, and they said they'll show something at the end of the show as well. Foxtel guide still says Midweek Tackle will be on tonight; not sure if it's able to be updated on their end.
Edit: Confirmed it will not air tonight.
TVTonight said:
Midweek Tackle which also features journalists Jay Clark, Lauren Wood, Glenn McFarlane, Jon Ralph, Josh Barnes, will not screen tonight.
 
Thought the show had been cancelled when it didn't show up in Kayo then came on here and read the news he had been killed in a traffic accident of some type.
Bit of a shock really
 
Show has done well for my mind. It has prompted me to watch more of AFL360 as a bit of a follow up or lead in, so it might be getting more number son both shows
