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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
