And I also enjoy a sport which is tough..................

..............................takes skill......................

..........endurance.................................courage.................

........................and..................................................

................................................most of all..................

..................brains :D to play.

I don't care about playing other countries, only Collingwood. :D

They have endurance...courage and brains. All sports require this. Im talking union not leigue. At least there is no complaining about collingwoods draw each year...which annoys me too but i have gotten over it.

Any chance that Fox Sportz 3 will be showing replays of each game during the week.

They've already hinted that they'll be showing 'On the Couch' and for some strange reason they are currently showing games from 2005 (albeit at midnight).

This would be a major win for Foxtel subscribers!

Would they have to play channel 7/10 for the privelage?

Please don't tell me we'll be only seeing 5 minute highlight packages on the news and sport channels :(

I imagine that the only way full Footy matches will be shown on Foxtel is if Foxtel (and PBL) conceede to 7 and 10's terms, and i can't see that happening.

Foxtel having been gunning for the same price, but more games. At first i thought they'd succeed but it looks like 7 and 10 are going to make sure they get the price that THEY want.

Foxtel on the other hand are saying that while they'd love to have the Football, if 7 and 10 want to go it alone then Foxtel (and PBL) want to see them do it. Let's not forget that 7 have bought the rights to the V8's as well.

I'm not going to be happy about it if it's just going to be FTA because i have foxtel, but as long as i get to see the interstate games that Melbourne are involved in live then i don't mind.

Yep.

So no chance at this stage.

I actually have a feeling 7 and 10 will relent and a deal will be done - ironically the V8 Supercar deal is actually 7's biggest hurdle. The component in the deal that stipulates that the V8's have to go live ruins 7's Sunday afternoon, which they need to get all games to air.

Tings too do.

1. repair spill cheeker.

What about Austar, was that cool? Are we laughing at them to?

Anyway, the thing that worries me with 8 games on FTA is the quality of the coverage. Will the networks be spreading themselves to thin? There is only so much talent a station can keep on their books. If 7 are over the barrel with the V8's, where are they going to cut corners? A call team of Tim Gossage and that McDermott clown from Adelaide.....shudders.

It looks like Foxtel is now out of the equation and I think it's time to make decisions about retaining it in the future.

What are the benefits if any?

Not many without The Footy :(

Maybe The World Cup in Feb live from The Windies :D

& definately Late Night Legends on ABC2

Still it simply won'tbe the same

An era has passed :angry:

And be sure to enjoy all those 1:00am 60 minute replays because channel 7 couldn't be bothered showing them at a family friendly hour.

There is a reason why channel 7 and 10 prefer not to show 4 games each for the weekend.

Footy on TV is officially back to the dark ages.

Haha are u the same person that wrote this earlier in the topic and someone ansered it by saying "How would that happen if they are to show each game live". Good try to make me feel bad, but it doesent work and to be honest ild b happy to watch footy then (as long as 8 games are shown).

Sports should be free for ALL to see, Not thoes who can just afford it...or happy to waste their money on it

I'd be stoked too if I didn't have to pay $60 per month, while getting 8 games for free. Good luck to you!

It's called extreme bitterness that I along with thousands of Pay TV subscribing footy fans are going through.

I don't trust channel 7 here. I just don't believe they'll put in the dedication that Fox Footy put into the game. Ie- shafting games to the middle of the night in preference to a Rugby game, V8 supercars or a re-run of the 'Sound of Music' or some crap like that on a Saturday night.

For example can we be 100% totally assured that Freo V Melbourne in rd 21 will be shown live on channel 7 on the Saturday afternoon? I know Fox Footy would've shown it!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
