    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
