    I wasn't paying attention on FC but I thought I heard Caro saying something about Nine losing the NRL streaming rights or being prepared to give them up in this bid? Someone else may know more. 

    Correct. They lose part in the same year 2025

    As many have mentioned it's interesting that the media auction was all about money and to a lesser extent coverage. There was nothing about broadcast quality and growing the audience.

    A little cute of the AFL to insist that these matters are solely up to broadcasters.

    They also failed to address the role of platforms such as youtube and Instagram. A European soccer player hit 100M subscribers this week. It's very big money

    Dangerfield and Bailey Smith make huge amounts of $ from sponsors for their instagram followers.

    As do any number of 'influencer' AFL partners.

    Not sure the AFL can do much about these supplementary but essentially private arrangements.

    Interesting

    The standard player contract has always had rules about use of player images etc so you would think it has been updated over the years.

    Often wondered " Guessing the contract will not allow it" why Channel seven do not use 7mate as a 24 hour Footy station. back to back replays with front bar or other footy shows to fill it out. Maybe Pawn Stars and American Picker just rate to highly.

    I think it was 10 that had a 24 hour Sports channel years ago. It was quite good but 10 went broke and got bought out by CBS.

    Not sure that Ch 7 have unlimited replay rights.

    These days people want to have historical shows on demand so it would be more like Kayo

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
