Great to see the 24 hour Fox Footy channel returns in February! Just a pity Clinton Grybas isn't around to see it! (Alas, we have to put up with Eddie instead!)

But, the great news is that Fox will show ALL NINE games live every week!! Which means, uninterrupted coverage of every quarter, without those wretched ad breaks after every goal that you get on free to air. And, a reasonable pre-match program as well.

I, for one, like it!!

Bring on 2012!

Anyone else get the email from the club today about the Melbourne foxtel package?

Not sure if its a cheaper deal than normal, but you get a special Melbourne remote, $50 donated to the club by foxtel and a $25 voucher for the MFC store. Not a bad time to sign up if you dont have it, i guess.

No, can you tell me how much the fox was per month?

Odd, I'm a signed up and paid member yet I didn't receive this email.

I'm taking a different tack on this. I've upgraded to a 16 game membership so I can watch all of our Melbourne games & planning on travelling interstate to 3. I of those will be on FTA. I'll miss 1 which I suppose I can see at the pub. I'm only semi-interetsed in seeing other games and some of Fox Footy's shows but until someone at Foxtel wakes up that there is money to be made from people who want ONLY the footy they wont be getting any from me.

From the Foxsports website:

* Fox Footy will launch on air with the exclusive NAB Cup triangular match between Hawthorn, Richmond and North Melbourne on Friday February 17, 2012

* Fox Footy will be a standard inclusion at no extra charge for Foxtel’s basic sports tier in a standard Foxtel broadcast subscription package. Supplemental charges will apply for HD and Xbox customers.

* There is not a match during the home-and-away season that Fox Footy will not broadcast LIVE, in HD and SD UNINTERRUPTED siren to siren. This includes the Anzac day game, Dreamtime at the G, Mother's Day clash, Showdowns, Derbys, Q Clash, Carlton v Collingwood etc. Every match and always LIVE, UNINTERRUPTED and in HD.

* All finals matches (other than the grand final) will be broadcast LIVE, in HD and SD UNINTERRUPTED siren to siren.

* Where there are two games at any one time (for example on a Saturday afternoon), one LIVE game will be on Fox Footy, the other LIVE game will be on Fox Sports 1. Fox Footy will be the channel of destination – Fox Sports 1 will be the channel dealing with LIVE game clashes.

* The NAB Cup is EXCLUSIVE to Foxtel (other than the grand final, which Channel Seven will simulcast withFox Footy) – and Fox Footy will show 29 NAB Cup matches EXCLUSIVE & LIVE, in HD & UNINTERRUPTED siren to siren.

* In Victoria: In a regular nine-game round, the Saturday early afternoon game will be broadcast on a 90-minute delay on Seven. It is LIVE on Fox Footy along with all other eight games in the round.

That's awesome news!!

I love the fact that they're not charging extra for the new channel and that the ch 7 games are shown on Fox without the ads.

Yep! How sweet it is!

I will be interested to know how they will show all 9 games live as there are always games that overlap. They will have to do the "viewer's choice" thing like they often do with the NRL on Fox.

The second game will be on Fox Sports 1...

If Fox Footy's/Foxtel's goal was to put more pressure on footy fanatics and their relationships with family members within the home......I think they've just about achieved their goal !

As a result, Bunnings shares will also drop during the footy season.

I would wager they will call it Fox AFL is something like that...

Footy has apparently become The World Game exclusive...

then you would do your cash - its officially Fox Footy. Ads on telly and all.

I dont think 7 are doing any games on delay next year? From memory a few of the start times changed so 7 would show them all live

every game live for about 12 bucks a week, am I dreaming?

Yeah, you are. You have to get the base package of $45 and then the extra $16 for sport and that is just the unupdated numbers from their website as there is no sign of the Fox Footy channel in their packages.

So for $732 you can watch it...

There are minimums of 12 months sign-on and $600 plan for Foxtel.

Edit: Got a deal going for newbies - $100 install and $50 general and sport for 12 month minumum.

For a saving of $32...

Oh, and if you are already signed up, this doesn't apply to you...

From a Foxtel ignoramus

I take it this $50 deal is for Std Definition only and no PVR STB?

How much extra for these two features? (or are they one feature?)

Also would it be the same charges for satellite?

Not sure if this answers your question DC, but for Foxtel HD, it's an extra $10 a month. I think it's worth it as you can record things, and the picture quality is excellent (so it should be). I just can't seem to sell the idea to my wife though!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
