International membership - whinge

Anyone else finding International membership a total rort this year? $215 for the exact same (except access to one game) perks as an armchair membership gets for $72. Double the price of last year and that included access to the watch afl app. Now if you want that it's $400! MFC trying to pull one over on all the expats. 

I don't mind giving money to the club. But that price is just stupid money in comparison to other memberships.

    does sound a bit rich, wonna. that sort of increase is definitely a rort. take it up directly with club

    I thought the same, the wording of the package is misleading. The club advised the $215 INCLUDES the $185 watchafl subscription.

    My Whinge - As an international relying on the club for info / content / engagement, the online media element really needs to lift when you compare it to other leagues fan engagement (prem league, NBA etc.). I suspect the media rights of Telstra (web) and broadcast rights (replays, condensed highlights, analysis etc) heavily restrict the club here - but, it's still pretty disappointing. Not just internationals, but if the club wants to reach new fans in a younger age bracket this area needs drastic improvement.

    This is correct. The $185 is for any other membership package.

    I joined up early and it was only $200.

    I think it's great value, this year watchAFL has Fox Footy channel live streaming 24/7. So now can watch all fox footy shows, all live games and support the club I love for $200.

    Watch AFL is $185 by itself, I would have paid $300

    Do you *have* to get international membership, or can you just get the armchair one if you're happy to forgo the watchAFL subscription and they are otherwise the same?

    I imagine that if you put that proposition to the club via an email that they'd be happy with it - I can't see them saying "no thanks" to a club supporter waving money at them.

    Up until last year, the international streaming was separate. I was taking that plus an armchair membership, just to be a member.

    You can still do the two separately, but I was under the impression that it was cheaper to do International + WatchAfl through the club.

    The quality or otherwise of the streaming content has been largely covered in the Live Pass thread. Everyone accepts that the AFL + Internet is nowhere close to being what it could and should be, and mailing MFC to remind them is to be encouraged. Though I think they're only too aware of it ...

    AFL Live pass and Watch AFL are two different platforms, Watch AFL is actually rather good quality, I know several pubs in Asia who broadcast it on multiple big screens at once and it is great quality. When I watch it hooked up to my TV it is a better quality than Aus Plus Network. That and now receiving full Fox Footy coverage I'm very pleased with price and service.

    The picture quality on the Aus Plus network is woeful. Another fail for non core broadcasting

    NRL is top quality so it can be done

    NRL is on Setanta, not really the AFL's fault.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
