Having just taken up the offer , i'm curious if anyone has some inside info as to its worth to the club. Foxtel contributes $50- per head to the club for each new subscriber . Numbers anyone ?

That offer sounds like there's an asterisk attached?

 

Not sure if this is related but my cousin posted his new remote that he received from Foxtel on Facebook.

Looks to be a likely type; lots of options with him. But I'm afraid some people might judge him by the colour of his skin and get worried about him nicking off home too soon, or even blowing up early in a game, especially if the AFL decides to go down the 2 interchange, 2 subs path.

$100 to install and $50 per month doesn't seem too bad, though i have to keep reminding myself it's only about $1.60 a day ! Every game live plus no ad breaks siren to siren is appealing .

I am assuming this is a members deal. Seeing a I live in the sticks, does it also apply to Austar?

What's the deal?

 

I like Fox Footy channel... thanks to them, I've had the pleasure of watching us beat Collingwood 4 or 5 time already this week :)

Like fox footy? I've got foxtel with fox footy but would like to cancel this and get just the footy with a kickback to the club if this could happen. Is that what this is?

If only. That's one of the main gripes about Foxtel - that you end up paying for a lot more than what you actually want. I had Foxtel for years and thoroughly enjoyed it, but times have changed. All I got it for was so I could watch AFL, NBA, NHL and NFL. Now OneHD has great NFL coverage, I pay have access to watch every NBA game of the season live or whenever I have the time, and I can find a friend or relative to watch Melbourne games with when the Dees are interstate and only shown on Fox. I just can't afford the $60+ dollars on Pay TV any more - I assume IQ is just $10 extra per month with this deal, as Foxtel is as useful as a bag of vomit without it.

Again, if I had Foxtel, I'd enjoy it. It provides countless hours of entertainment, but they will need to continue to be creative about how they deliver their packages, as people will continue to watch the TV/movies/sport online when they want to.

Haha, I know! Never thought I'd get sick of seeing Melbourne beat Collingwood.......but I think I actually know the commentary off-by-heart! haha!

I'm guilty of this as well! It was on again last night around 9PM. So yeah, I watched it again. It gives you a chance to watch for little things you may have missed the third time around. Like how well Nathan Jones played, some of the things he did that werent on the stats sheet (that we see in the paper anyway), pressure acts, chases to force errors, shepherds, bumps, he really worked hard whenever he was near the contest Saturday night. Oh, and how Ricky P could easily have had 5 goals too, all the ones he missed were eminently gettable chances.

There are so, so many channels on Fox I've never watched for more than 5 minutes over the years that I've had pay. Such a waste of money to be paying for all those channels I dont need. If you could just choose which ones you wanted pro-rata I'd choose all the sports ones,a handful of music and news channels and could happily turf the rest...

Just installed . With the basic package that adds 12 sports channels you get the low-tech , non HD set- top- box so the resolution was only average. The Channel 9 picture via Foxtel for the cricket final wasn't a patch on the free-to-air. Though i'm not prepared to upgrade , i'm reasonably content to relax and enjoy the many footy options and a bonus is not necessarily having to visit friends, relatives and pubs for our "minor" interstate games .

That tv remote is freaking awesome.


That tv remote is freaking awesome.

You can get your club remotes at any FOXTEL Kiosk at shopping centres. $49.

I've got IQ and recorded it. Now I watch it everytime I'm down. (I'm not down for long)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
