Has something gone wrong with Fox's sports HD channel this year? Something changed?

Finding AFL 360, the JLT games, the resolution is not the same as last year.

Is it just me.

Resolution is definitely down on last year. Same applies to all the HD sport Channel’s by the look of it.
 
This part is so true as well, I nearly felt sorry for them for a moment reading this....but it passed.

Haha, that is the one that me laugh also. Acceptance. And no your club isn’t “cursed”. They just make poor decisions. Over and over again. Not helped by all of the bias’s against them (AFL, Umpires, Channel 7, The West Australian etc) of course.

Almost feeling sorry for them but nope. They are insufferable at the best of times and when they are next in one of their false dawns, we will be hearing all about it! It could be in a few weeks time, they will be 3-0 after all according to their captain!

It was poor for me for 4 days including the wce v Freo jlt. 100% it was in SD. It was shocking.

Has come good. So either my IQ4 box went bananas for 4 days straight, or the fox signal coming in......

Whatever it was it was shite.

All of them had known off field issues when they were made available by their former clubs, all of them had supporters on here lamenting as to why we weren't keen on them while Freo were.

Hopefully people learn to back our recruiting team now.

What an absolute dud McCarthy has been. Why would anyone give up pick 3 for a guy who voluntarily sat an entire season out because he wanted to go home?
 
Mods delete if you want:



I've been far worse to be honest.




I actually feel for him after watching that. Jesse seems like the kind of dickhead i'd get along with :moustache::beercheers:

I too occasionally wear no pants and half a santa outfit whilst calling people 'campaigner' like it's going out of fashion.







Thank god Scott Gumbleton was a club legend for Fremantle or the clubs recruitment would be labelled a joke.

Whilst he wasn’t recruited by Fremantle you can add Dayle Garlett to that list of names many supporters wanted us to pick up but the club steered away from
 
Wasn't TB dropped from our round one side a couple years ago breaking an alcohol curfew?

I also think TB is mates with McCarthy and Hogan and would have gone down the same path if he was recruited by Freo. Its a testament to our culture atm. Even our outlandish/dickhead players such as Masten have come a long way.
 
Is that vid even legit? It's probably ancient.

I trust the WA media as far as i can spit a rat. Probably had that video stashed away with a couple eagles drug vids from 2006.





I don't speak Mandurah, so can someone explain what that unit is doing at the end? "Sentooooooo Sentoooooo"
 
Things are as bad at Freo as they have been for a long time. It's not just Hogan stuff, although that's obviously a huge part of it, it's also the Bennell circus, Lyon's sexual harassment, key players like Neale and Weller wanting out when the issue isn't job security, money or homesickness.

Then there's the record breaking run or 100 point losses, the mind boggling decision to keep cooked players like Ballantyne, the recruitment of 'meh' players like Colyer, Matera and Conca.

Furthermore, there are the lesser issues of Fyfe's leadership and whatever happened to McCarthy.

I reckon in a few years it'll come out that the guy running ship was making all the decisions drunk, just like what happened at St. Kilda.
Hit the Nail on the head mate, Saint Kilda and Freo following eerily similar paths, coincidence?

I posted something similar on another board but I've been thinking about it a bit more.
Will these new runner/water rules have the unintended consequence of worsening player safety? Putting aside the hydration issue, quite often when you see a player go down one of the water runners is close by and goes over to check on the player and signals to the bench if it's serious. Is it going to take longer now for someone to get out to a serious injury? What are the rules on someone running out to check on an injured player? Can the nearest trainer/water carrier run out onto the ground to check/help or do we have to wait for a physio on the bench to firstly realise there's an issue and then run all the way out on to the field to help the player? Although it's unlikely this new rule could for example actually cause a delay in someone who's had a serious head injury getting help.

Remember when we took Tom Lamb and there was overwhelming excitement about us finally taking a risk instead of vanilla mid rangers?

I remember.
 
Video is from 2017 apparently.

Who ever released it is a scum bag.

Lol, that’s a long stretch of the bow, don’t go saying we’re so high and mighty. We’ve had our share of issues and I’m sure we still do behind closed doors
