Telling sign troubled radio host Marty Sheargold has changed his ways after AFL grand final controversy READ MORE: Dave Hughes set to 'take over the Triple M Melbourne breakfast shift' alongside Kate Langbroek By Kate Dennett For Daily Mail Australia Published: 00:36 EDT, 22 August 2024 | Updated: 00:36 EDT, 22 August 2024 e-mail View comments Marty Sheargold opted not to get involved with an iconic practice on popular sports panel show The Front Bar on Wednesday in a telling sign he has changed his ways. The radio host, 53, was hit by controversy last year following an alleged incident at the AFL grand final and later took a three-month mental health break from Triple M. He has since returned to screens and filled in for Sam Pang on The Front Bar as the usual host took some time off after his role hosting the Logie Awards on Sunday.
Joining Mick Molloy and Andrew Maher on the panel, Sheargold notably did not enjoy a Furphy beer with his co-hosts as he seemingly abstained from drinking. It is a long-held tradition for the hosts to enjoy a beer live on air, but Sheargold didn't have a drink in front of him on Wednesday's show, while his co-hosts did. He has been seen joining in with the beer tradition in the past, as he had a drink in front of him while appearing on the program this time last year, on August 9.
It comes after a difficult few months for the comedian which started with claims of his involvement in an alleged incident at the AFL Grand Final late last year. Accord.
