    Tried 2 JBHiFi stores, for the Full Season DvD. Dandenong and Fountain Gate both said New Release. Supposedly from the 1st of December.  Firstly Dandenong doesn't even stock DvDs or CDs anymore and Fountain Gate had none at their store. False Advertising at its finest. At least the lovely lady I spoke to pushed a few buttons on her device to show me Frankston supposedly has them. I better get it tomorrow or my Dad will make me watch the Granny Again.

    The season highlights/bonus material - does any of that include extra footage of Chris Scott as the Cats go down the gurgler??

    Finally got my collectors pack a few weeks ago. It's all presented very well and most things you would want but I'm a massive stickler for HD and quality playback and it seems this is all SD. Had a rough idea this would be the case but I thought they'd at least have the GF in Blu Ray. 

    I think it is great for people who aren't fussed about resolution but someone like me would expect this level when buying a physical disc these days.

    Which leads me to the next question, if I want to watch this game again in HD how would you access it without internet? Or are the only options to go on the AFL site/have a Kayo subscription and pray they never take it down? Appreciate any advice.

    I agree that this is quite disappointing. HD is now the staple format of sports. Most of the finals (GF for sure) would have been recorded in 4K too, but that footage will never see the light of day. I just don't get how FoxFooty and Ch 7 get away with this type of crap year after year. Perhaps they are asking for a premium for this level of quality footage, and hence, not profitable for the manufacturer to bother with. 

    Anyway, in answer to your question, Kayo would be the closest thing you'd get to HD access to the games from last year. But its a cheap man's version of HD (720p i think) at a pretty crappy frame rate as well.

    You can buy a bluray copy of the GF. Kayos replays are terrible quality, they must downgrade the frame rate when they out the replays up, it's actually pathetic. Otherwise there are great quality versions available on specific unauthorised websites.

    I've got the BluRay version and it is HD. My $99 Panasonic BluRay player handles it well.

    The good thing about the GF is there are three other commentary choices to Brian Taylor. 😃

    They certainly do. It has been the subject of much complaint by subscribers.

    Who even has a dvd player these days. At the very least they could sell them on a thumb drive

    I think I just have to do that Gonzo. For a guy who barely buys DVDs anymore I'm going to own two physical copies of this game haha *sigh*

    The definition on Blu-ray is worth it. 

    One gripe with my BR copy is with the channel 7 audio for the 1st quarter. You can hear an echo from the ump’s mic and the crowd (but of course BT’s calling has no sound issue 🙄).

    Good thing there’s other commentaries but it’s pretty lousy they can’t get a simple Blu-ray recording correct.

    Also no pre-game or half-time entertainment which would have been a nice addition.

    See that's the kind of stuff that would drive me bonkers. You pay premium dollar for something like this expecting premium value and it turns out you're just paying for defects.

    Also just noticed the collector's pack is at JB for $40 which is over half the price I paid a few weeks ago! Don't know if this is an error but I am quite enraged now! Rage aside if you haven't got the collector's pack and were thinking of doing it , get it from JB now :)

    To be honest the copies I managed to download (apparently in 1080p) are better than the Kayo, DVD or Bluray versions. And I was able to get every game for the season in this quality (not just the GF).

    Personally I wouldn’t have minded if they’d cut out the Nat Edwards/Jack Viney stuff and just focussed of the individual games longer. I mean I remember the old season highlights birdies and they didn’t have all that. They were much better.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
