Discussion 2022 Round 8: Teams & In Game Discussion

Bumped to $27.50 from this month, dunno if the Telstra rate is changing too.

Well probably lose it all to scummy pay TV companies one day. ☹️

 

[Uncle Drew]

Man, COVID is going to deprive us of a priority pick

First we scrape past WAFL West Coast for our only win, now Freo have half the side out as well and we might get a second

Don't worry, Freo will still win.

Kayo is literally $15 a month go without 3 coffees or beers for the month lol, honestly dont understand how or why people complain about this when theres an easy alternative.

My point was never about paying or not paying. It was about the fact that Seven promotes themselves as the "home" of football and they simply aren't.

 

[Zagbag]

Yep I recall the Foxtel spin .... live sports with no adverts ...
- that didn't last very long !!

Foxtel is literally live sport with no ads.

Really??
- Not in all the sports I watch ...

- 10+ years subscriber here and pretty much only use it to watch sport ...

Just checked OzBargain and we missed the one year free offer available only on the 30/4/22 for new and existing Kayo subscribers.

I mean, if you want to count when players come off for halftime, or the cricketers break for lunch sure - but never during actual play, unlike free-to-air

Sort of true but I'll note the following:

- Lucky to see 3/4 of a Bathurst 1000 race .. other 1/4 is spent on adverts for buying barbecues or car parts ...

- Cricket spends so much wasted time focused on the outfits of commentators etc .... cross promotion (advertising) etc in my view when all I want to see is the actual game ...

- AFL to me starts 5 mins before the bounce and includes the breaks .... nup no live coverage these days of those time periods ... that used to be the case but has evaporated ... need the internet to find out any last minute outs etc ...

- NBA not much better and don't bother watching many live games anymore ... easier to watch the replays without the cross promotion (advertising) BS ...

Think you’re a little harsh but point taken. Still infinitely better than FTA.

Although NBA is an ESPN feed - nothing to do with Fox.

 

[Zagbag]

PS there’s literally nothing in the world worse than signing on at 6:20 to check the teams, and realising you’re a day early. Way to ruin my night.

Agree on both points .... I guess it isn't the same as what I initially signed up for and IMO has gradually degraded over time ...

- Not going to ditch it anytime soon though ...

I did exactly the same thing! Why does this feel like a Thurs night?!

Were all eager beavers

Grown accustom to the four day working weeks

 

[whiteTiga2k]

Will English play or not is making my side feel somewhat incoherent at the moment.

Does Stefan Martin play too?

 

[Shannon]

Clark should play his natural inside position mid this week now rather than on a wing mainly like last week (still racked them up though) - must have rookie for mine.

No Monday game last weekend.
Means it's been three nights since a footy fix.

Going early on Clark goes against everything in my veins ... so damm tempting though !!

- playing at the Gabba against a good side, coming back from a shoulder injury etc ....
- "might" have Berry as company ...

No Yeo
No Sheed
No Shuey

Literally Kelly the only top inside mid fit, Clark has his chance to shine in his natural spot now.
