Have Melbourne FC thought about Podcasting?

I've come across alot of EU Football/Soccer podcasts on itunes and think the Dees should lead the way in providing more avenues to reach members and fans "across the world".

Ideas and thoughts welcome...

    fantastic idea.... fesability would be a bit of an issue.

    Also dont Sportal and or Bigpond already own the rights to all AFL web content so wouldnt there be a licensing issue?

    What really gives me the irrits is that games are already available to be viewed online via the AFL website but you need to be a bigpond broadband customer. It seems somehow anti competative.

    I wonder what would happen if say chanel 7 tried to introduce fee paid online replays?

    I believe that Melbourne FC would have some control over what access they can gain to match games, videos, audio etc...

    Alot of these podcasts are free on itunes and it only provides free publicity for the football club.

    It doesnt necessarily need to be match games or video....simple audio regarding club news, changes within the club, upcoming events and

    more importantly player interviews - this giving people the chance to know the players on a different level.

    Channel 7 will have alot more control now also so what is stopping them from allowing clubs to reach out to their members and supporters?

    You can get the online replays but you must live overseas and have to pay a fee. They are also not available until 24 hours after the final siren.

    I was happy to pay this the last 2 years and thought that while the quality of it wasn't great, it was acceptable. I've recently given up on the service, I get quite a lot of TV online and live in Korea where the broadband is great and the AFL service through Telstra is one of if not the worst quality of online TV I've found and watched consistently. The disgraceful thing is, it's also the only one I pay for. The fact that Telstra charge money for the service and then provide such a bad quality, constantly buffering and erratic service is immoral to say the least.

    There are other ways to get hold of replays, so no more through Telstra for me, the service is just too damn poor.

    As for podcasts, don't look for anything innovative from these pricks and the AFL site they run

    Am a member and use them, but if I can get it online legally and it's a decent quality, I'm happy to pay. Sadly the quality from the AFL/telsta site is poor at best

    • 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.
