:lmao Nice touch Kiz!


FOOTBALL fans will be able to watch every match of the 2012 AFL season for $50 on their mobile phone or tablet device.

Telstra released its AFL pricing plans on Monday as part of its $153 million, five-year rights agreement with the League.

Fans preferring not to spend $50 for what is called the AFL Live Season Pass can spend $10 for a monthly pass or purchase individual game passes at $5 each.

Once the purchase is made, customers will be able to watch the matches on any mobile or tablet device.

Telstra made access to the 2012 video passes available through the mobile AFL website, m.afl.com.au, from Monday afternoon.

Telstra has been a rights-holder of the AFL for the last 10 years, but has purchased the rights to significantly more content from this year through to 2016, including the right to stream live games.

The announcement comes three days after the League appealed a Federal Court ruling that allowed Optus mobile customers to record live AFL games and watch them through its TV Now product.

The TV Now service only works with free-to-air TV. All NAB Cup matches except for the Grand Final are exclusive to Foxtel.

Telstra will next month unveil its AFL Live app, free from Android's Market or Apple's App Store. The app will contain live scores, live match radio broadcasts, video match highlights, team lists, player profiles, match reports, previews and news.

Unlike previous years, this app will be free, while the content will be unmetered for all Telstra NextG and 4G customers.

Telstra also announced an AFL on T-Box product that gives access to the BigPond AFL TV channel, which includes full video highlights and game replays.

AFL on Foxtel on T-Box, which goes live later this week, will give subscribers every AFL match live as well as 16 other channels for $49.50 per month.

And in a bid to lure people to watch AFL content on Foxtel, a $1164 yearly package (plus a $150 equipment fee) will give access to all sports channels including the new Fox Footy channel as well as an AFL Live pass on compatible Telstra NextG or 4G phones.

Well there you have it gents....for a $50 price tag you can watch AFL on your smartphone or tablet. Although why you would over free to air or Foxtel is beyond me.

The GWS song sounds like it's come straight from Mardi Gras.
Is that surprising though? :balo2





EDIT:

GWS coach Kevin Sheedy today promised to "annoy" as many people as possible with his club's new theme song.

In a resolute defence of the heavily criticised tune, he said it "absolutely smashes half of the AFL (club) songs".

Sheedy didn't need to think long when asked the inevitable question: just how many times will his team get to belt it out?

"In the next five years? (We'll sing it) a hell of a lot. And we're going to annoy you," he said. "And I know annoying songs because I actually coached against the Sydney Swans in a match where they kicked 36 goals, when Tom Hafey was coach.

"And they played their song after every goal. So I'm waiting for the return visit - one day.''

Went to the game today quite a few positives coming from Port

Positives
- Wingard getting plenty of the ball
- Brad Ebert was a good get
- Kane Cornes actually played well
- Redden did well around the ground
- Butcher showing form in the first game
- Pearce played well in defence
- Carlton went winless :)

Negatives
- Ben Jacobs can not pick up or mark a ball to save his life
- Almost ran out of legs in the first game towards the end
- Umpiring was shocking as per usual
- In-accurate kicking almost cost us the first game
- The Crowbots winning both games :eek:
