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.

It's only one device though yeah? (The one with the Foxtel iq box connected)

Kayo you can use on any smart device and can watch on two or three devices simultaneously if you pay a bit extra (still cheaper than Foxtel). You can also split with a mate/family member for the time being which works out to $15 a month and there is no contract or joining fees so you can cancel as soon as the footy is finished meaning you're only paying for 6 months instead of 12.

so what is the $400 per year for?

 

I would just bite the bullet and sign-up to Kayo - we’ve got the two screens shared between family members which is never an issue.

You get virtually the same Fox Footy coverage, plus all the shows. Fox Cricket is great. Really good Motorsport coverage - and the only ads are during quarter breaks, tea breaks etc.

The downsides are when you rewatch a match you often get just the match itself - not the pre-game, half-time or post-game analysis. And obviously there isn’t the ability to record what you specifically want (ie. foxtel IQ).

I look at it as a cost per use or cost per sport. Sure, it would be great to have more US sport coverage, not to mention EPL or EuroSport but it is what it is.

About 1500 channels of live TV around the world and a movie library on demand with [censored] that's still showing at the cinema 


God bless Kayo.

Remember when we didn't have Kayo?

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.

With a membership the club profits. 

 

Everyone watches footy differently. If you like watching neutral games and spend Sat and Sun during the day getting a footy fix as well as getting all the exclusive Fox Footy content, then Kayo is a very good value option for you.

If you tend to only watch Melbourne games then it's a tougher ask to fork out that much per month but could still be an option. If you are a member and go to every home game and just need something to watch our away games then the pub is probably cost effective option. 

Different strokes though.

So this is an interesting development:

https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/membership/kayo-digital

KAYO DIGITAL

The best (and cheapest) way to stream all our games live, while supporting the Melbourne Football Club through membership. It's a win, win!

Package Benefits

A subscription for 12 months of Kayo Basic (RRP $360)

Access to watch all AFL Premiership season games, plus more than 50 other sports, as part of your 12-month Kayo subscription

2023 Melbourne Armchair membership

40% off voucher to use at the Demon Shop (valid for one transaction)

Access to exclusive offers from club partners

Would be interested in the details and implications of this deal:

1.  The number of devices it permits per subscription, i.e. is it Kayo premium etc?

2.  Does it mean any existing member that purchases the Kayo subscription through this offer adds another membership No. to the club's total (not sure that's a huge advantage as no doubt all AFL have been offered this deal)

 

Anyways an interesting option for those wanting to know 'the best way to watch the Footy'

it says kayo basic package which is 2 devices and $30/month from kayo

the afl club price for kayo varies a little from club to club

I would sign up for this if it was only for the footy season (and half price).

I cancel kayo as soon as the season is done and re-subscribe when it starts again. Nothing much to interest me over the summer except for NFL and I use their Gamepass for that.

In the off season, I have some of the 2021 MFC games on repeat, but yeah, get what your saying.

Sorry in advance for being a tech philistine

Has anyone else signed up to the $229 Kayo membership offer?. I have just signed up through the club website and not sure where to go from here. Sort of figured there would be prompts to get me access to Kayo but there isn’t. Any suggestions? 
I have an inactive Kayo account

I believe you'll receive an email from the club with details and a 12 month pass for Kayo. If you already have an account then it's likely you'll just have to redeem the code and you'll have access.


Dear Fellow International Demonlanders, anyone know if we receive a code for Watchafl like last year (came in January)?

I have not seen anything yet and cant access Watchafl, therefore no Fox Footy and no cover of Match Sim I think, any clue?

A relative of mine had to contact the club to get it to work this year. 

Anyone else use the Telstra TV box to watch replays of matches etc? The AFL app has suddenly disappeared ...

That Melbourne Kayo deal is outstanding value if you usually have Kayo for the year. Probably aimed at people who cancel during the footy off-season. 

I'll be saving $131 by signing up to this as opposed to year long Kayo sub, and i get a 40% voucher for the demonshop - the perfect place to spend the money i've saved aha. 

The only issue with Kayo.... 

If we get today's commentary team as the regular gig through the season... I'm not going to be happy.......

Have no idea who they were - he had good knowledge but the personality of a brick. She seemed personable but was deadset barracking for St Kilda and had absolutely NFI about players form both teams (possibly knew about them but it wouldn't be hard, given her lack of knowledge of the Dees)

At one stage she was saying how Lachie Hunter had once again linked up playing with Zane Cordy after leaving the dogs.... WTAF

Update: Tess from the club advised me my payment in October did not go through for automatic renewal, i sent her new card details and it was fixed inside 1 hour and the code for watchafl renewal supplied simultaneously ( and at the same time.., one for the buffs) cant ask for better than that!

Thanks Heart Break. I’ve been receiving other emails like voting at the recent AGM and this week a 40% voucher for the store, but I’ll shoot them an email 👍

I’m the same. Kayo gets cancelled the minute footy is done and I sign up for another streaming service instead to keep me busy during the off season. 
Plus I go to every game in Melbourne and have a premium membership so I mostly use Kayo for replays and to watch interstate games. It’s a rip off and the quality is rubbish.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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.
