Just finished watching first half.

After FOXTEL saying they have so many cameras following the play.

and wont miss anything.

They then miss the most basic behind the play incident.

Dermie then has to explain what he thinks he saw. (totally amateurish)

One thing I have learned from the first half. Tigers are crap and kangas are worse.

GO DEES

dusty martin looks like having a big year though

It just gets worse for Tigers & Kangas.

Should I suggest that one of them would provide the first win to GWS?

I know it's early but gee they really look shite.

Don't think they looked too bad for 1st game of the NAB Cup. They were both competitive and made some mistakes that are to be expected.

I reckon thats what I may have done. Now I feel like an idiot!

No you didn't Wonna.

I got the T-box option and missed the first game saturday night. i had a message on my screen saying tune into pies v dogs at 8:10 as there is no football on now.

I rang Telstra and got some overseas numbnut who had no ides what footy was. Jumped on bigfooty and asked those giving score updates what was going on and got this link in reply http://www.foxtel.com.au/whats-on/blackout/default.htm

This is February's list, No Melb V Bris live next week. I paid for all the footy live and as far as I'm concerned I've been lied too and ripped off. What guareentee's do I have this won't happen in the season proper. Their own staff are ignorant of the product they are selling which makes assistance impossible.

I am really furious about this and I'll be removing all my business from this shitstain of a company.

Live vision not great on iPad...vision keeps dropping out.

I was watching on Friday night and it dropped out quite a few times, though a refresh got the video stream back quickly.

I watched for about 90 minutes on Saturday night (GWS, Collingwood, WB) and it only cut out once. Also watched about 20 minutes last night with no problems.

I should note that it automatically cuts out after 60 minutes as you can only stream in 60 minute blocks for some reason, even though you can start streaming straight away.

The vision is only so/so, can be difficult to make out the numbers on the count down timer at times, although it was much better last night with the Ess v WC v Freo game.

Overall, I think it is worth the $50 for the entire season, which includes match summaries, press conferences and so on. It's a shame you cannot replay games and can only watch them live though.

Had the same problem, rang Telstra complained and got $20 off for the month, and I only joined on Friday afternoon.

What a f'ing joke. Paying $365 for 7 months of footy and we don't even get our nab cup games. Add to that how glitchy the service is. Disconnecting tomorrow and requesting a refund.

Did you manage to make contact and disconnect ? If so, I hope you advised them of the reasoning so they can investigate the quality of signal delivered to you

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
