Imagine what could be done with that money…….full time umpires, grass roots investment, Tassie team, the list of ‘best for the game’ options likely to be ignored goes on.

Interesting to see how this fits in with government anti siphoning laws, More so for the tier B events.

Both major parties went very quiet on this before the election.

I wouldn't be surprised if they've (anti siphoning laws) quietly disappeared to appease Murdoch and co...

I'm interested to know, might contact my local member about it.

The anti siphoning laws are ridiculously out of date anyway, especially since streaming came onto the scene.

America has 300m people and 32 nfl teams… that’s 1 team per 10m people. Australia has 1 team for every 1.5m… 

please tell me how 19 teams is sustainable?

Agree 100%!

The number one priority should be investment in grassroots football.

If we don't do this then Aussie Rules Football will begin to die.

We also need full-time umpires and an AFL Team in Tasmania and eventually Northern Territory. The ACT shouldn't be forsaken too...but that's another story where we missed an opportunity in the early 1980's.

Lastly, and this is wishful thinking, but we should ask the AFL for $100 million so we can build a home base. The Melbourne Football Club will be left behind if we don't have state of the art training facilities and and an administration centre built in the near future. Especially with Hawthorn building their new $120+ million home base in Dingley.

The Good News is that the AFL, Channel 7, Fox (Kayo) and Telstra now have 9 years to get the product right and that should be good for our Code.!!

These broadcast prices simply do not stack up

Foxtel has separated its sports product from its entertainment product Kayo and Binge so the traditional loss leader arguments no longer work.

Unless the Kayo product is changed enormously.. increased monthly sub... occasional pay per view ($5 for Anzac day match for example) and of course ads.

Hopefully the camera and streaming quality is improved

Foxtel to have its own commentators and graphics for all games from 2025.

So you don't have to put up with the mistake riddled BT from that point onwards.

Boy oh boy wowee do I hope they use this time to invest in commentators that don’t want to be ‘personalities’.

Possibly more money than anticipated...meaning more available to be spent on players...meaning higher salary cap...meaning Luke Jackson can be accommodated within the MFC budget.

Of course, the flaw in the argument is that the salary cap goes up for everyone, so Luke Jackson's contract could probably be accommodated within any club's budget, although any other club would have to offer more than he's likely to get from the MFC.

I'm not sure what you are meaning here, but my take was that you couldn't syphon off major sports to a pay service. Streaming is a pay service...I have a feeling that people who can't afford even Kayo are going to be further shafted by this deal.

...no one is looking after the man on the street.

streaming was not included in the anti siphon legislation for the simple reason it wasn't thought of at the time.The rules relate only to cable networks.

The catch is that Labour said and the LNP quietly warned that if the broadcasters took advantage of streaming to avoid the "spirit"of the anti siphoning rules the legislation might be amended to include streaming

They also share that population of support with another 32 NHL teams, 30 NBA teams, 30 MLB and 28 MLS teams. And that's just the other major codes.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
