The Front Bar is back for Opening Round on Seven and 7plus – Brisbane Lions legend Simon Black guest stars.
Happy hour goes up another notch in 2025, when everyone’s favourite sports show, The Front Bar, with Andy Maher, Mick Molloy and Sam Pang returns on Wednesday, 5 March at 8.30pm live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport.
Doing what they do best, The Front Bar team will share a laugh each week of the AFL season and catch up with stars of yesteryear and today.
Host Mick Molloy is eager for the season to begin,
“Everyone is excited for the season to start, even the umpires. They haven’t bounced a ball and I’m hearing they’ve already given Patrick Cripps nine Brownlow votes.”
Fresh off the back of the Brisbane Lions’ 2024 AFL Premiership, triple AFL Premiership player and Hall of Famer Simon Black will join The Front Bar as special guest for the Opening Round show.
With his Tigers set for a quieter year, Molloy’s hoping for change to the team that holds up the premiership cup in 2025,
“I know everyone wants to see Gold Coast finally get going, but I’d really like Hawthorn to win the Premiership. There are some nine-year-old Hawks supporters who have never seen a flag. It’s not fair.”
“I think it’s about time the AFL introduced a Wildcard Round, mainly because I’d love to see Essendon lose a final before the actual finals. I think we can all get behind that,”
– he said.
In an extra treat for footy fans, especially Hawthorn supporters, Full Sweat – a 90-minute documentary produced by Seven showcasing exclusive pre-season action at Hawthorn Football Club – will air straight after The Front Bar on Wednesday, 5 March at 9.30pm on Seven and 7plus Sport.
The Front Bar – Returns Wednesday, 8.30pm AEDT on Seven and 7plus Sport, followed by Full Sweat at 9.30pm.
