It just came to my attention that more than likely this week will be our only game on TV this NAB Cup campaign unless we make the grand final. In both round 2 and 3, we are playing in rural areas and Foxtel are not covering them.

Just thought I would let every one know who did not know already.

Very disappointing but guess that's the life of a Dee supporter.

    At the end of 2012 season we were irrelevent to the competition.

    Only by winning games during 2013 will we prove to be otherwise.

    Start winning games and the world opens up until then we have no choice but to endure this crap position we find ourselves in.

    You're being a bit sensationalist, aren't you OD?

    Yes, a poor 2012, but this is purely based on a budgetary decisions made by Foxtel.

    There are plenty of other games not covered, one that includes last year's premiers.

    You mean we were relevant in 2012 jr?

    Have you forgotten how many games we lost by 8+ goals.

    How many games were over at quarter time.

    We had one genuine win all season.

    Yes not all games will be covered but the majority will be sides like us that don't rate.

    club should see if it can do some sort of streaming of the match to give supporters the chance to see it. Surely the NBN has done 90% of country areas by now!

    There are 36 NAB games of which 18 are being televised. So it's hardly just the MFC.

    That said, we were probably the least watchable club in the league last year.

    The Giants round 3 game is on foxtel, GC,Port and us are the only three teams that are getting stiched up with not one game in round 2 or 3. The bulldogs also get a coverage game in round 2.

    I'd say the worst. Most neutral supporters were quite interested in watching the Giants last year and to a lesser extent the Suns.

    On a different note the march 9 match v st Kilda at Casey we should try to make a massive turnout. Show Casey that we (the entire club) are embracing the area as a part of us.

    I agree. I like watching up close at Casey and having a stubby. You can't beat it. We should get a demonland marquee happening. Have some beers and anyone with some differences on here can sort it out on the field for half time entertainment.

    I'd jump in at half time but I don't have a problem with anyone on here. Even if I did I start off well but finish very poorly and then CW will be all over it. I can't handle another investigation. Could we get a marquee and name it "the vault"?

    I acknowledged we were terrible....but do you really think they want to send a commentary to Renmark? Or Alice Springs?

    I was a decision made on budgets, not on watchability.

  • Quote

    A live stream or at least a radio call would be nice, but I really don't expect that any game played in Renmark will ever get a run on TV.

    Was it Ballarat where they had that North game last year that Foxtel tried to broadcast and ended up delivering silence for the first quarter? No wonder they've decided it's not worth their while to go to the country.

  • Quote

    I reckon 5AA might do the Renmark game.

    I'll be off to Casey Fields for the St. Kilda game and then off to watch us in the NAB Cup grannie.

  • Quote

    I'm not that fussed. We might be able to DL the games from the AFL site. The round three game against the Saints is at Casey so I might head over and watch it live.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
