Footy Classified (previously known under the working title Footy Confidential), is an Australian television program broadcast on the Nine Network which discusses pressing issues relating to AFL football. It debuted on Monday 2 April 2007. It currently features well known football analysis personalities Craig Hutchison, Damian Barrett, Matthew Lloyd and Caroline Wilson.
The show was originally known by the working title Footy Confidential, before Foxtel later announced a gossip news show it was producing called Confidential, causing Nine to rename the show to Footy Classified.
Footy Classified consists of four panellists: Craig Hutchison, Caroline Wilson, Garry Lyon and Matthew Lloyd. Following discussions on controversial events during the weekend of football, a special guest will arrive in the studio for an in-depth chat – usually a high-profile coach or player. During its first season, Wayne Carey was the fourth panellist but after personal life indiscretions was axed by Channel 9.
The show was known for its confrontations between Wayne Carey and Craig Hutchison, and between all panel members in general. One notable stoush consisted of Craig Hutchison making a sign for Wayne Carey to hold up saying that he was "wrong" regarding Dean Laidley (Carey had previously stated that he wanted Laidley sacked because his poor media manner meant that he was not diplomatic enough to lead the club, North Melbourne. The team responded by winning 4 consecutive games and, eventually by making the Preliminary Final).
