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

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

 

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?

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
