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?

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.

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 .

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
