The price isn't bad but they could do a lot to improve their quality. Many people used to argue that they didn't want to canibalise their Foxtel box model but that's a dinosaur in decline.

I think their real problem is that they are gradually losing sports (tennis coverage for example is now almost exclusively gone to Stan)

If you really want to see overpriced rubbish quality check out WatchAFL πŸ˜“

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.Β 
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.Β 
Β 

The last thing I want to do is promote anything Murdoch, but I can happily stream Kayo in HD on a 7mbps ADSL connection without any quality issues. And I'm out in the sticks 7km from an exchange.

Agree there's no issue with the streaming per se but the quality of the feed is circa 2000 especially if you are watching the replay after they cut it down.

These days it should be 4k minimum. (Some of the blame rests with Channel 7 who simply refuse to upgrade their camera/broadcast equipment for reasons I can't understand. Youtube vloggers have been putting out 4k for the last 5 plus years)

channel 7 still don't have 4k cameras

i love that foxtel advertise 'footy in 4k' but it's actually not - it's upscaled telecast to 4k

Subscribe to Kayo today. Cancel before finals -Β as all finals are on free to air. I do it every year.

I refuse to give Rupert one more cent to lord over his over entitled children with.

Just got an email from the club with the Kayo sub for $229.Β  Is this good value?

Lots on there besides AFL that I would watch. 6 months on Kayo just to watch AFL is $180. Buy the club membership and you get a year for $229 only $49 for extra 6 months and the club gets a cut. Seems a good deal to me.

It's not $25 per month anymore is it? In that case it could be very decent value for some.Β 

I would have watched a lot of stuff on there once but now I reckon NFL and maybe the odd UFC would be about it. A dream for cricket lovers, not a huge fan but if you are then there's massive benefit there.Β

My calculations were based on the email the club sent to me. Will check. I like motor sport and Basketball so I would value just there.

Oh yeah do like a bit of NBA come the pointy end of the season.Β 

Motor sport is another one, it's got just about everything for that I think.Β

That's the other thing I guess, for me the 1 x screen would probably be enough. As long as it's HD!

With a membership the club profits.Β 

  • Get the game info as it happens - radio; multiple coverages - two old trannies from the sock drawer
  • Wait 24 hours for the screening on the AFL Website - not too difficult making game analyses more relevant
  • Attend the home games as you can, through MFC Membership assisting the Club - on game day, drink at a good pub with Foxtel/Kayo as an alternative when we play away

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?

Contact the club.Β

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?Β 
I have an inactive Kayo account

Did this get resolved? I just took up the offer but all I have received is a receipt (which is so far unhelpful in helping me watch the golf on Kayo this morning)

Crisis averted. An email with details does come through eventually… for me it was just in time to see Lee bogey the last and Scheffler birdie πŸ₯΄

The club's Kayo membership is great for someone like me who is interstate so generally get the Armchair membership which is included in this package. I had the Telstra deal for the last few years at only $15 for 2 screens but that ended so the club deal came at the right time. My email also said it is a 2 screen package which makes it much better than the usual $30 a month the price was going up to.

Thanks for posting that. How long did it take for the details to arrive? I took up the offer this morning and only received the confirmation they've taken the money. Kayo support are very confused by the offer too.

Did it ever show up? Or should I give up today and go to the pub? πŸ˜†

Mine came within the hour so my guess is youΒ have it now. If not, something has gone wrong!

I'm tempted to take the $229 Kayo deal. For years I got around it by using Foxtel Go (Courtesy of my folks) and chromecasting to the TV if needed but I'd like to have the option to watch games, mini games and footy shows on demand and get the best picture quality possible. I also love the idea of a chunk of the cash going to the club.

If I didn't have the Foxtel GO access this would be a total no brainer but it's still a good deal for a much less clunky experience, I know a lot of people aren't fussed about quality and user experience but it's definitely a plus for me.

If you’re already a club member Layzie, and purely an AFL fan, then it’s more cost effective to go month to month on Kayo. Sign up now, pay for April - August, and then cancel in September as all finals are live on FTA. That’ll cost you about $150 to watch literally every game in the season.

Then spend the money you saved buying a Flanket…

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistΒ  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedΒ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Β

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
