Who would've thought ...

"Demon premiership sees a resurgence in DVD player sales!"

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. 

 

Stuff this order on line, ventured into Sanity Rosebud and picked it up yesterday.Got last one but they are getting more in.

EXCELLENT PICKUP $144.95


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.

  • 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?
