MFC website has McAdam as a Medium forward, the injury announcement has him as a small forward, he's shrinking as well poor guy. Timing is everything and worked out in Henderson's favour. Happy to have him on board - especially as we considered him in the draft.

He's back in Melbourne at training per GW

Seems everyone is keen to draw a line through LK. Is this because they don't see the promise or they want additional players through the SSP. I think Roy serves a purpose as we are a bit low on small forwards but we may get more out of Culley/Henderson. Was keen to see LK after a full AFL-Pre-Season but seemingly that's been derailed.

We'll definitely lose people (both in attendance and viewership) to the F1. We're starting 20 minutes after the race starts too. Perhaps it may have been wiser to give us the 12:35pm slot for the armchair viewers. But i'm sure we'll put a respectable crowd. I'm not attending either as I have a function that day - which is not ideal,

Any of you gurus able to shed some light on the content Kysaiah Pickett: Melbourne Demons forward responds to exclusive report he wants to play for Fremantle Dockers

DAZN are feuding with the French soccer League at the moment about payments. DAZN, the streaming platform holding rights to broadcast eight out of nine weekly Ligue 1 matches, has recently withheld a portion of its instalment payment to the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP). This decision stems from DAZN's concerns over increasing piracy and the LFP's insufficient support in combating this issue. Consequently, DAZN has paid only half of the €70 million owed for February, withholding the remaining €35 million It's a good things they're getting some Saudi money soon because DAZN is yet to comment but its decision to bring this matter to a head earlier than expected comes only two weeks after it reported a £1.2billion loss for 2023, a result that meant Anglo-Russian businessman Len Blavatnik, its majority shareholder, had to pump in another £665m into the company, taking his overall investment in DAZN to £5.3bn since its launch in 2007.

Sort of a relevant/irrelevant update ---Melbourne Victory , who like us had issues finding a home ground have made an announcement Committed to a Multi-campus strategy for the Women's, Pre-Academy and Academy programs teams - spread out North/East/South and West. But the Senior men's team are remaining at Gosch's Paddock/AAMI Park for now. Does that mean the Club’s administration will move from AAMI Park? No, our administration and A-League Men’s program are entrenched at our spiritual home, and we see our infrastructure project as only enhancing the access we have as a Club to elite facilities. So they haven't been able to find the perfect bit of land (and they also have no money) it seems they'll likely piggyback of local clubs for the above campuses.

I've got the Digital Membership with MCC which is $350. But seeing as i'll get ESPN through Disney next year i'll prob look at stopping Kayo when the F1 finishes.. This year that would have saved me $70

So assume it will have ESPN1 and ESPN2 on the Disney platform and then you get a login to the ESPN APP to cast the other live games, this is what I do with Fetch/NHL at present. Curious that they say its staying on Foxtel/Fetch/Kayo etc, wonder how long that will last for. Kayo going up in price and losing content would be an interesting one.

adds an additional layer of flexibility too if players can play (and know what to do) in multiple roles.

Cbf looking at every club, but searched 8 of them and they’re all $350, same as us.

On one hand I think the NGAs are a rort, on the other hand I would like to be on the receiving end of said rort. Hopefully we have a word with them and gain access to Tairon

Checked shirt and a greyish tie today.

I think that might be wishful thinking but i like it nonetheless. Murphy Reid still be worth keeping an eye on though. Melbourne lad, pick 17 in last year's draft. Could form part of the haul in return.

As in Murphy Reid? Bring him home and some other pointy end picks?

Its disappointing he's texting this to friends at the Dockers but friends do talk. The leaking to the media part is the troubling part, but we don't know the source. That being said the AFL media need something to write about, only so much 'pre-season write ups' they can do this time of year, they get a slight whiff of something and then 2000 words by lunchtime.

Always assumed he wouldn't end his career with us and he'd go somewhere when 27 or so, seemingly wishful thinking now

Miss the days when all I needed was Foxtel and NHL Pass, now if I want to watch the same content as back then I need; Kayo (Footy/Cricket/F1), Optus Sport (EPL, FA cup) , Paramount Plus (A-League), Stan (With add on) (Champions League/Europa League), BeIn Sport (Championship, Serie A, La Liga, League Cup), Fetch/Espn Pass (NHL), AppleTV (With Add on) (MLS). I dont have all of the above as a result. Very interesting space atm, Foxtel/Binge lost WWE to Netflix and HBO seemingly want their own app. Curious to see how DAZN approach the next few years. Optus sport want to sell their rights, The A-League will look to find a new home - They really should hitch their wagon to a streaming services with more games than the occasional Matildas/Socceroos game.

Is there a timeframe for this? Have that weird Fetch/ESPN Bundle, still upset the NHL stopped their season pass.

A good get for the Dees AND a sponsor I can easily support, unlike Jaguar aha

Have the cats crossed Clarry’s name off the board?

How many games are we expecting Melk to play this year?
