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)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
