Foxtel Now

I cancelled Foxtel after the AFL season finished up last year but it was by far the easiest way to watch and record any and all AFL games. Most of the AFL shows on Fox Footy were garbage but I didn’t mind putting on AFL360 after coming home from work. 

I was wondering if anyone has Foxtel Now or if anyone knows if Foxtel Now plays every AFL game and includes all the Footy shows the same way as having normal Foxtel does? 

I did try calling Foxtel but was on hold for some time and there’s a real lack of information regarding AFL via the Foxtel Now app. 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Work? You spend 50 weeks of the year 'getting ready for the trade period' - don't know whether I'd really call that a proper job.

    Well I signed up for Foxtel Now (Still goes by Foxtel Play on Samsung TV’s), lucky it didn’t cost a cent through a two week free trial because the quality is very poor. I’ll look into getting traditional Foxtel with the box as the content and quality of picture is much better. My local pub at the end of my street support the Western Demons where they meet every game to watch our games live. This might be the way to go.

    G'day ET, like you, I cancelled my Fox Play (through Xbox One) at the end of the season saving $50 a month (had the Movie pack as well). Recently I put some of the money into a Chromecast Ultra and signed up to Foxtel now. With the Ultra you can also use an Ethernet cable if you have one, which I do. Set all this up yesterday to watch the AFLW Demons game. Running through a 55" Kogan 4K LCD TV it was the best picture I've ever had off Foxtel. No buffering, no poor image quality and no freezing which had often been the case in the past. Only problem I had was with the initial set up where I was using my old Ipad mini to cast  and it would stall or freeze. Soon as I switched to my Nokia 6 smart phone everything went perfectly. I guess what I'm getting at is it is possible to get great pictures off Foxtel with the right set up.

    Thanks dworship. I’ll pick up a Chromecast Ultra and give it a go. The old Foxtel Play app which is on my Samsung TV isn’t the greatest. I’ve read Foxtel Now will soon be getting HD so streaming Foxtel Now from my phone to the TV using the Chromecast Ultra sounds like a good idea.

    Will keep my fingers crossed for you. Great thing about the Chromecast, if you're staying anywhere with half decent WiFi you get to take your Netflix , Stan etc where ever you go on a big screen as well.

    I’ve been wanting one for my bedroom TV anyway (for Netflix and Stan) so if I’m not happy with the quality of streaming Foxtel Now on my main TV I’ll just use the Chromecast in the bedroom, win win.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
