Hear me out: Bulldogs: 1984: Premiers 1994: Runners Up 2004: Premiers 2014: Runners Up 2024: 👀 Just putting it out there as a non Bulldogs fan.

[@danieljohns4519]

Bulldogs won in ‘84, ‘85, ‘88, ‘95 and won in 2004

[@TJ_Beam]

@@danieljohns4519 yes I know. I was just pointing out the 10 year pattern…

[@lewisstansfield9255]

I've watched this show for a few years, and I love how Joey can't help but mention Fyshwick every time they talk about going to a Canberra game🤣

[@UneekBruh]

Love this show man. This and Matty johns show.

[@GroperJoeandFriends]

Why so many games, joey's says TV, free to air games, dude we get two games 😂😂😂

[@troystaunton254]

92-94 blues is the best blues team ever. The one thing I often ponder is how would Joey be different as a player if he’d have played hooker for the blues with Daley and Stuart in the halves 95-97. I can’t help but think being exposed to Stuart that early in his career would have advanced him tactically much earlier than he actually did.

[@amsterdamoriginalsaustralia]

No emotion after a 43m field goal 😳 I mean 😳 I'd be like a soccer player running wild

[@scriviguy7490]

Parra in 2022 were in the four, played Penrith week 1, Raiders week 2 and Cowboys week 3

[@nickmilan2739]

Joey is right. Roberto Carlos was left footed. They should show Joey his “impossible angle” goal

[@tidlesmcdaffy2215]

What about Reed Mahoney for QLD? Knowing his grubbness could definitely see Leniu losing it a bit too much.

[@shielsy1]

He’ll get what Curtis Scott gave to Dylan Walker eventually and that’ll be the end of it

[@jarrodsefton3767]

In recent history, say the last 10 or 15 years of State of Origin was the second in sporting terms a fluke?

[@bloodsmart]

One of the junior clubs where I live on the NSW south coast have been training on the beach because the grounds are a mess.

[@GodlyCarnage]

Thanks fellas

[@steveskrobot9496]

Im surprised you didnt show the bluper of that soccer player getting stretchered off that went viral a few years ago, when they kept dropping him. You know the one!

[@TheParkerThirteen]

Is that one where the poor fella gets teabaged like 3 times before he just walks off?

[@steveskrobot9496]

@@TheParkerThirteen Yeh the two carrying him keep dropping the stretcher. just needs Benny Hill music🤣

[@matpage1456]

Matty thank you for saying that about juniors rugby league wash out games! It is a joke ! every game in our area from Randwick council calls training off.. games off! With a couple drops of rain. It is ruining the comps and the ability to play. Everyone pays council fees. Grounds men I get it. The fields get ripped up but that is there job to patch the fields up and play on . And as a dad that has several kids playing. The kids are devastated they can not play🤷🏾just my thoughts

[@ConMac9]

im a player in the bankstown comp they do the same thing they are so soft

[@bornyesterday1895]

They probably sacked most of the groundskeepers to give themselves a pay rise. Then cancel sport 'cause there's no groundsmen. Councils are every bit the scumbags state and federal governments are.

[@troystaunton254]

5:14 I’m almost certain that kick was the cover pic for arl96 pc game.

[@pjc1362]

Every time...in decider..NSW makes themselves favourites.

[@troystaunton254]

I’d like max plath to come in for kaufusi to add aggression. Faffita in for Capewell and have cobbo replace Coates.

[@danielkelly4487]

Plath isn’t aggressive 😂

[@tamamakiiti587]

love it

[@mark_668]

Hey Matt. Until the fields are fixed they can’t play because of risk of injury…….

[@ThurstonWatt]

no mention of Tim Brasher in that NSW team.....tsk tsk.

[@dobbyafreeelf300]

Am i the only one who thinks JT's hit on Yeo is most underrated? Straight knocked his ass out...

[@JayYoung313]

Right side.. Fafita over Nanai, Cobbo over Holmes.. that’ll plug up that right side. Ponga has to be our fullback and Walsh on the bench when the game is fatigued, only if Grant isn’t fit. But Ponga definitely needs to be in there. Has the experience and is a bigger body than Walsh who just gets smashed

[@sallymay24]

Actually Freddy in Victoria we play when it rains no matter what

[@pjc1362]

Bubba Watson is at least 6' 2....hits it a mile

[@ConMac9]

hes so right about the council

[@Keene-md9cm]

Where even is Israel Folau these days? Why did rugby league never try take him back?

[@willjones2788]

Benji marshal hit a field goal from 50. Maybe it was even 55.

[@anthonyc4812]

I think Latrell has kicked a really long one also.

[@user-zr5ke9ew1g]

How can the Broncos win Las Vegas trip , Injuries , SOO and the hardest draw

[@thestoicwhinger]

They leave Qld about 5 times a year lol

[@Tommy.b0y22]

UP THE DRAGONS AND TIGES🧡❤️

[@Alekosdw]

Barrett will be named Eelz coach 💯 crystal ball 🔮

[@markwhelan9887]

John's is a Peanut 🥜 sometimes like when he said carlos kicked a penalty from 40 yards out over the wall. Andrew its not a penalty if its kicked over a wall and The black dot in the box is the only place a penalty can be taken from. You are describing a free kick.

[@clutch7548]

Not knowing free kick vs penalty means absolutely nothing if you couldnt care less about soccer like Joey does Its like saying to an AFL fan “thats a 6-again IDIOT not a penalty🤓”

[@michaelfountain2620]

Hughes had a great game and has had a great couple of months, but you guys never talk about him , I want to know why there is so much hatred for the Melbourne boys.

[@GroperJoeandFriends]

Before we think about expanding the league, how about you clean up the officiating of the sports first because it is coming off as If the refs are corrupt 😊

[@kevinknight1924]

Penrith may has well been outside the top 8 in 2021 because they lost their first match so had to keep playing with no week off even being minor premiers.

[@Jimmyjim4]

Matthew Vs Councils

[@roosters1711]

Egan Butcher hasn’t played any games this year……. He did his ACL. Seriously embarrassing

[@aripapadopoulos-wj1sv]

What up

[@tamamakiiti587]

anyone else hate the "on todays show" section of a video? I just mute it because i'm gonna see again later

[@Whistler112]

Nobody asked.

[@Godzilla32]

God, each week Freddy becomes an even bigger flog.

[@pjc1362]

Is Joey still attacking Walsh?

[@TheNewcastleKnight]

​@@pjc1362 explain who he attacked Walsh.

[@mattsmartin]

I think Freddy must be in the reckoning for immortal status. I do think Joey was extraordinarily talented but I remember watching the Roosters vs Knights at the SFS and Freddy tore the knights apart. On that day he smacked Joey. Cut out passes, intercept off memory. I do remember Ben Kennedy being a handful. I didn’t appreciate how quick he was and how hard he hit the line.

[@Jimmyjim4]

Next immortal has to be Jamie Soward, unbelievable resume

[@SPUDAD666]

@@Jimmyjim4 hilarious!!!

[@JimBetts-ns1mk]

Na. Beau Ryan.

[@bornyesterday1895]

Yeah, was at that game 1999 or 2000...... Fittler played all over Matthew Johns. The next year John's was at the Sharks.

[@Hubbabubba1999]

Question for Fat. "Would you want to do the footy show again? If so who would be on the Panel? Surely get Sterlo out of retirement. Your the only QLDER i love Fatty💙💙

[@_Sensei_8]

Phirst kommentos

[@mattphillips-xc4hp]

If you want to see the deplorable things that are happening in bush footy, come to the Group 9 district. And not Wagga or any of the major clubs, go to places like tumut or Adelong. Absolutely disgusting. One more thing, why don’t we let the girls play tackle as opposed to League Tag? So many injuries because the girls haven’t been allowed or trained in how to tackle when they get old enough to play tackle footy. They do it in rugby union, what’s the difference???

[@pjc1362]

The WORST tippers ever...

[@danielvermeer3363]

Have you seen the gayguy try and tackle this year?? Nearly as bad as Val. Either one will do. Trell will destroy them anyway 😂😂😂😂

[@haydenivers6863]

Thank you! Someone sees it too. Being a knights fan I can attest that his defence has been shambolic

[@joetangeria9891]

Are you intentionally misspelling Gagai 😂😂😂😂

Imagine trying to make fun of someone for their name. Very grade 5 of you 🤦‍♂️👍
