..................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.

 

Fox--- Certainly are dead in water as regards broadcasting games

 

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.


With 10 and 7 showing each game each round for the next 5 years...i am very happy. *edited by Fan. Inappropriate comment*.

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.

With 10 and 7 showing each game each round for the next 5 years...i am very happy. And I laugh at thoes who have foxtel...i laugh as they used to once be kool to have it...no ur a laughing stock

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.

I am so happy about the fact all 8 games are showing. Suffer in your jocks (The castle style) to Foxtell.

I hope your still smiling when games 5 to 8 are shown after midnight in a highlights package only :angry:

How the HELL is that EVER going to happen when ALL F^&%*$ games are going LIVE TO AIR :blink:

Go Dees - so long as the footy is on the telly I don't care who is broadcasting and calling it. :)

Good call. Make ur own commintory lol. They only need 2 commintators a game anyway i recon...not 4.

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 joy for thoes with free to air knowing there is no upper class people in the society now. Lol very happy man. Foxtel is overrated...a waste of time and money...even in summer season on free to air.

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!

What the 2 cameras. the ordinary biased commintators who are worse than Robert Walls. Missing out on alot.

I think everyone can afford pay tv, but thoes on a low income wouldnt wanna waste $60 on garbage. I never wanted fox as its a complete waste of $60...better spent at the pub.


All we can do is pray

Stand by for an announcement. Footy back on Foxtel.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
