Sorry, I'm just not a fan of Rebecca Maddern as a host on the AFL Footy Show. Just doesn't work well for me.

#9AFLFootyShow mmmmm boring having bec on, it's not like having the principle in the class room, not exciting, at a boring level

This is not going well. Not Maddern's fault - she's trying her best. Newman can barely hide his contempt for her. #9AFLFootyShow

Rebecca Maddern is out of place here, is just awkward #9AFLFootyShow

Absolutely nothing against Rebecca Maddern but I want to watch stupid boy humour. If I wanted serious I have every other footy show #fail

Omg This has not worked tonight, Rebecca Maddern has been embarrassing. Tried way too hard, super cringeworthy #aflfootyshow #planb #relax

Rebecca Maddern is doing alright so far, the dynamic will get a bit more comfortable after a few more reps #9AFLFootyShow

I don't really rate Rebecca Maddern on the footy show, just doesn't quite work yet
