‘It’s not back to the future’: Eddie McGuire returns for the ‘rebirth’ of Nine’s AFL Footy Show

Despite flicking the bird on air last night, Sam Newman will remain a host of Nine’s AFL Footy Show, and will be reunited with Eddie McGuire who returns to the show after an 11 year absence.

McGuire will join Newman and co-host Rebecca Maddern, with Craig Hutchinson exiting after a four month stint as the once dominant show struggles against Seven’s competing Front Bar program.

McGuire and Maddern addressed the media this afternoon.
