Enough already!!!

As a long suffering Demon fan, I wish to lodge a protest over the Fox Footy summer programming which is nothing more than a rip off of its customers.

Since the grand final in late September, they have been showing on rotation every game played during the 2013 season, mixed in with replays of that atrocity of a programme "After the Bounce" which surely ranks as one of the worst programmes ever shown on the a Fox Network? They also show some Open Mike programmes but how many times can we watch the same interviews with Sticks and Bucks?

Why not replay games from other years and programmes like On the Couch, AFL360 and some of the other shows including their older stuff like Grumpy Old Men?

There wouldn't be a Demon fan here who would watch us go around in most of our 2013 games.

Enough is enough!!!

If you're a subscriber, turning off the channel isn't really the answer but yes ... a letter to management might help although it's easier for their budget to just run the same stuff on rotation over the off season.

I would expect that a station dedicated to one sport could at least have a weekly programme covering what's happening in the sport.

Anyway, the NAB Challenge starts next month. Let's hope they can afford to take a camera crew to Traeger Park, Alice Springs.

Pretty sure all NAB Challenge games are covered which is awesome!

The weekly program isn't a bad idea. Although I think they fit some footy news in on Summer 360 and Fox Sports News

I'd be happy with them replaying all games over and over as long as they left out Melbourne's 20 losses this year.

I'm in complete agreement regarding this show. Has there ever been a worse footy show ? Probably, but this goes close.

And Andrew Gaze ? He seems like a very nice guy on TV and radio, but how this semi-literate former sportsman makes a living in the media is beyond me. I know he appeals to the more basic elements of the broader populace, but I can't fathom how he has a role in any media circles.

And that's not to mention the embarrassing antics that Dunstall, Frawley and he get up to during the programme that make it completely unwatchable.

due to work commitments,after reading back over some of the things written by posters,i enjoy looking at some of our games

just to pick up on things when your at the live games

as far as ATB goes,forget it

i find it funny some dee fans dont like going over old games,for me i dont mind at all

its definately better than lizard lick towing and some other fox gems

2014 we will win our first 3 games and then replays will be golden

Some games where we were competitive are ok. But how anyone can sit through the sheer incompetence of our thrashings is beyond me. Its embarrassing the mistakes you see.

i love my footy and watch the players for my own analysis,most interested to pick up areas where they will improve under PR

2014 will see me sitting in the normal possie,and armed with a complete reality of the teams improvments

whilst some find revues upsetting i find them interesting.

takes the mind off work


Why are you still watching the footy channel during the summer? The only reason to get it is to have access to live Melbourne games.

Agree RM

Surely we have other things to fill our lives at this time of the year.

cant get off tractor until late december and late arvo at best

so 504 catch ups better than nothing

went to most games last year 2013

I could think of nothing worse than watching replays of 2013 games. Good God we are beating the English 4-0 stick with that.

I want the sadness incompetence and despair of season 2013 wiped from my skull.

To top it off Whorethorn won the Grail.

Walk away.

Yep

After the Bounce is one of the worst shows ever made, period. It's excruciatingly bad. I'm not sure when Danny Frawley decided he was a comedian but I've got news for him, he ain't one. None of them are. They are ex footy players, and Andrew Gaze for some reason, trying to be entertainers and failing dismally. But idiots like the show, so it stays on.

I don't watch Fox Footy during the off season and I'd encourage you to do the same.

Been watching a few Adelaide and Bullies games to have a look at Bernie Vince and Daniel Cross. Bernie looks to be a really good highly skilled player.

Winners are grinners and losers can please themselves ,do you want them to turn back the clock to 2006 to see a few wins, we mean nothing to Foxtel thanks to past employees that need not be named.

That's why I have put my foxtel on hold until the start of the next season.

your missing all the quality

lizard lick towing

container wars

beverly hillbillies

swamp men

and how could you forget,say yes to the dress

ATB,wins the award for the least show watched

U know there are domains that exist where u can download almost any old game or tv footy show... however i would not be suggesting u commit such things.

The only footy shows I like are on the couch, and before the game (Just been axed :( ). I tolerate Footy Classified and watch the Footy Show for an occasional laugh. The rest are abysmal.

I have said it before on this site, the standard of AFL journalism (misnomer) is at an all time low. (Sorry Emma you are excluded) The entertainment (or lack of it) is sustained by the publics insatiable appetite (includng mine) for anything footy that any old rubbish dished up will get ratings.

I would rather file my teeth down wnth an angle grinder the watch after the bounce and AFL360 makes me want to punch the tele.

 

not sure why they don't just fill the off-season with classic matches from years gone by rather than repeatedly cycle through 2013 games and that dismal 'after the bounce' or better still credit their customers for hwat is practically dead-air from October to March

Been watching a few Adelaide and Bullies games to have a look at Bernie Vince and Daniel Cross. Bernie looks to be a really good highly skilled player.

Thanks for the heads up Clintosaurus. I've set Foxtel to tape Bulldogs v Adelaide (Round 21) at 5pm so I'll catch both players (assuming they were selected for that game).

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
