Talking Footy

Talking Footy is an Australian rules football television program on the Seven Network broadcast from 1994 to 2004, from 2013 to 2020 and again from 2023 to 2024. The show was hosted mainly by Bruce McAvaney and Luke Darcy in both runs of the show, now to be hosted by James Brayshaw.

The program was first broadcast from 1994 until 2004. It was created by Gary Fenton, the Seven Network's then director of sport.

The show was hosted by Bruce McAvaney from 1995 to 1998 and 2001–2003, Tim Lane in 1999, Gerard Healy in 2000 and Tim Watson in 2004.

Regular couch members included Mike Sheahan, Malcolm Blight, Terry Wallace, Caroline Wilson and Leigh Matthews.

It was initially screened on Monday evening at 8:30 pm from 1995 until 1997, then on Monday at 11:00 pm in early 1998, then on Monday at 10:30 pm from late 1998 until the end of 2000. In 2001 it moved to Tuesday nights and stayed there until the program was axed at the end of the 2004 season. The program struggled in the last few years due to the network not having the rights to broadcast the AFL while also having poor ratings.

In August 2013, the Seven Network revived the series, which aired on a Thursday night throughout the 2013 final series with Bruce McAvaney, Luke Darcy, Wayne Carey and Andrew Demetriou as panelists.

The following year saw the show return to Monday nights at 7:30 pm on 7mate in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, and on delay at midnight the same day in Sydney and Brisbane.

The show is hosted by Luke Darcy with Wayne Carey, Tim Watson and Jacqui Felgate. It is broadcast from Seven's Docklands studios in Melbourne. Other panellist to appear on the program included Brian Taylor, Campbell Brown, Sam McClure and Mick Warner.
