Yeah, its a topic that has been covered before, but I thought I'd begin anew in case there's been innovation in the field, so here goes:

What is the cheapest/best value way to get footy on the TV or streaming app? Free to air sux, obviously, and Kayo is comprehensive but expensive and Foxtel is even more so. Any other alternatives?

In explanation, now that I'm back in Aus permanently, membership/attendance is competing with TV coverage for a limited supply of $AUD, so... I turn to Demonland for help and support. I mean, where else? 

 

kayo is probably cheapest. you only need to pay for footy season...say 6 months. additionally if you want to squeeze it down, get a basic subscription which supports 2 devices concurrently and split costs with a mate/family member.

only thing cheaper is probably the pirate sites and fight off the virus attempts.

Go to home games and go to pub for away games

just costs a H&A membership.

Note, Netflix is reportedly starting a crackdown on subscription sharing and I wouldn't mind betting Kayo do at some point too.  Just hope it's not soon as sharing a subscription with my sister is a pretty good deal for me at the moment!

Overall, it might not be the cheapest, but I'm pretty happy to contribute my MFC home and away membership and attend at the ground as my preferred means of watching.  Totally understand that everyone's finacial situation might be different though and you've got to rationalize what where you spend your money in life.

Kayo are owned by Foxtel, they don't need to worry about that stuff. Already make a squillion. 

Kayo is the failsafe way. Bite the bullet, get it for 6 months. There really is no better cost effective option for being able to watch every game. 

 

Kayo just increased its monthly price

$25 = One screen

$30= Two screens

$35 = Three screens

The Telstra subscribers discount is finished.

Some AFL clubs are allowing members a $220 per year ($19 per month) subscription. (Bulldogs). Not sure if MFC offers a similar deal. Of course if you were intending to cancel over summer this deal is more expensive than a month to month subscription

There's a Kayo membership on the site, says Coming Soon for $263 for 12 months. Fair discount. Wonder if it will ever actually appear..... 


I'd pay for a Melbourne only membership if it existed. I like watching other games but if it meant saving money it's a no brainer.

Yes we do have that option, just look for it on the membership website

I've got a fire stick. Pay 400 a year. Have live TV from heaps of European countries. There's about 400 sports channels, epl, afl, NBA, any sport you can think of plus ppv events for nothing. Also has a movie library with movies still out at village and hoyts. Netflix, Amazon, stan library as well

I just got the email from the club offering this deal. They also throw in an armchair membership. Great value at $22 per month but a little more expensive than other clubs ($19?).

The info is listed under the membership categories under KAO Digital Membership:

https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/packages

The club should hopefully advertise this on the main page so non-members will can find it.

Help a ludite, please:

Does a fire stick require additional monthly payments beyond the initial purchase?

Does it have access to Kayo without Kayo subscription?

Fire stick OK to use with a smart tv?

Seems too good to be true if there's only the initial purchase and it give wide access to paid platforms

TIA

Whatever is on kayo you will find on here. For example, the afl comes through UK channel BT sports. NBA comes through UK channel ESPN NBA etc

No monthly payments. 

Was built for smart tvs

Yeah, just saw it. Looks pretty good.

In terms of overall total value, wait for the pre-season Foxtel sale. Normally $40ish dollars with Sport 4K + Entertainment. So it works out as more overall value than Kayo and you also get 4K.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
