Enough already!!!

[Apocalypse XXXI 243]

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!!!

Don't watch that channel then...

Have you emailed foxtel with your ideas? That may help.

[Demonland 70,312]

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.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I saw ten minutes of the Sydney replay but got too frustrated but the poor umpiring to keep watching.

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

[Sir Why You Little 36,668]

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.

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.

[Clintosaurus 7,565]

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.

[mjt 640]

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.

[ILLDieADemon 804]

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

[saka888 54]

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.

[Bedraggled Dee 336]

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.

[reynolds46 1,062]

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

[Whispering_Jack 29,240]

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).
