Kayo is 4K in 2024
Okay... makes it easy Kayo taken out the week before AFL starts. One month before GF you cancel. $40 per month for say 7 months. Netflix.... Share an account with a family member. It costs extra to include another location but the more "sharers" you have the lower the unit cost. If no one to share Netflix varies between $10 (with ads) to $29 for 4kHDR Buy an Apple TV Box ($219). You could use your smart TV but Apple TV or Nvidia Shield is simply more powerful For Kayo 4k you need a reliable internet. Netflix is easier as it buffers Good luck

Can't see Dangerfield playing Wonder how much the WA Gov't is paying for the event?

PF do you watch sport outside AFL season?

NON-MFC: Finals Week 02
Yep They definitely had their chances but having the equaliser scored on a penalty to force extra time and having the try denied in Golden time... Hell that's tough

What a finish in the Raiders v Broncos game. Will be talked about for years to come

Kayo is 4K in 2024
Kayo to have in game ads in the form of side bars etc. If anyone has watched the VFL you'll be aware of the practice. Among the new advertising initiatives coming in 2026 is the L-Bar format, which displays branding around the live screen without interrupting play. The format is designed to appear at moments of heightened attention, such as goals or tries. Pause ads will also be introduced, taking over the full screen only when a viewer pauses live or on-demand content. A brand will then take over the screen in what Foxtel describes as “premium real estate that is viewable, completely uncluttered, and impossible to skip.” Kayo Sports will add three to six-second bumper spots prior to live matches, including during key fixtures such as the opening rounds of the AFL and NRL. According to the company, these formats create opportunities for advertisers while maintaining an uninterrupted sports viewing experience. Not happy but we all knew it was inevitable. Was watching the Sky F1 stream on a Canadian streaming channel recently. A couple of times mid race it went to a split screen and played an ad with sound. So it could yet get worse

NON-MFC: Finals Week 02
In the scheme of things the Hawks are the only ones who have done it without help of father/sons farms Cotton on academies etc. In a comp where it's a matter of inches they all help. Only watched the first half but Lions definitely played a corridor game tonight. Good for them. Wish we had the players who could do the same

NON-MFC: Finals Week 02
Perhaps they need some more priority picks

NON-MFC: Finals Week 02
Lions to take it away in the second half Has been a lacklustre finals series

NON-MFC: Finals Week 02
Southport have just beaten Frankston by nearly 100 points (143-55). You can only wonder whether we might have done better
-
NON-MFC: Finals Week 02
Simple... delivery and accuracy You don't need mega forwards if you have delivery. Collingwood is another example. Geelong with Cameron are slightly old school while Brisbane are probably their own worst enemy

Nice start by Storm Could be a tough night but win this one and.....

AFLW: Rd 05 vs Port Adelaide
Port have scored the fourth highest number of points of any team this year but are the fifth lowest for defence. Won't be a pushover but we should be stronger and more skilful on the rebound

Poll: Coaching Viewpoint
Different answers for different clubs... We're not in the same stratosphere as Geelong and there's zero risk of raiding their players. Gameplan wise I certainly hope we're not imitating the Cats. We don't have the cattle. If we had taken someone from Brisbane or say Bulldogs and they were still in the finals you might have a greater argument. The only argument you might have is "time on job." King will now be perusing our drafting/trading strategy which could take his eye off his day job

Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
We got played by Buckley Did it cost us other experienced applicants not entering Not our greatest hour but who knows it might work out for the best Good Luck Mr King !!

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
If correct we were played big time. What's new Also arguably cost us the withdrawal of some big names
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Left field winner judging from the "informed" posts on this thread. Hope he has a good gameplan
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Of course we may have rejected the terms demanded by an applicant. Makes sense if you take a step back But I must admit to knowing nothing

2025 Membership Ladder
The percentage of MCC members that are MFC supporters is I suspect falling year by year. By length of tenure and number of supporters you'd expect Richmond to be well up there and for Collingwood and Essendon to be on the rise. I know among my children's group about ten MCC members and none follow MFC. (MCC membership almost doubled to fund the Northern Stand so it's now biased towards 30 somethings.)

Farewell Judd McVee
No one's untradeable but we need key players not draft picks. The McVee contract situation has become comical. Unfortunately it's not the MFC's only problem in this area.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
I'd take Kelly on a three year deal with KPI's and a base salary half of what Buckley is asking. That would soften the Goodwin payout pain and perhaps give us room for another or a better assistant. Buckley will give us a one off membership boost of 10k. We all know that no one will give us a significant boost on the win/loss ratio. At best we're a 7-12 ranked team It's mathematics as to which coach is the better for us. The Board will never be criticised for choosing Buckley and thus I think he will be the one
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
This is close to the reality. Little doubt that Tassie will follow the GWS model as against the Sun's model. Draft in and then trade the "good" but not best draftees for more picks. Meantime add in some senior journeymen. If they were starting this year Billing would be a good example
