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

I always took it as no commercials during regular play time ie siren to siren each qtr I can't understand why anyone would be worried about between qtr ads

Rhett, if you're still watching this thread the following sentence this page (http://www.foxtel.com.au/xbox/packages/default.htm?presel=pbtm) is a shocker: "Don’t add AFL now. For free^ AFL trail jus

Any danger of putting Dwayne up against a wall and shooting him? Would make a great one-off special.

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.

Live games going on now and foxtel on xbox is playing replays of last nights games. Not a great start..... Not very happy.

well if it's partnered through Telstra what do you expect?

Thought the Foxtel telecast tonight was poor. Camera work sloppy and direction poor with no replays of interesting incidents. I suppose the A team didn't go to Blacktown.

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

What are you talking about? Without Dwayne I wouldn't know that each time a player has the ball within 100 metres of goal that he could go for a Super Goal.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
