Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

[StueyDaDew]

45 bucks a month lol insane.

The increase to $45.99 a month is for the premium service.

It's actually decreasing by $0.01 if you subscribed to the basic.

That's a wopping saving of $0.12 over a year

 

[StueyDaDew]

Okay so how else can we watch footy without paying $45 a month?

Full replays, highlights & match minis are streamed & free to watch on the AFL website usually around 24hrs after the final siren.

 

[Papa G]

Just don't?

I'll probably go watch Port whenever we play in Melbourne and just not bother the rest of the time.

Yeah, after being a sports fanatic my whole life, I've just drifted further and further away from it. Just not passionate about it any more. Hinkley/Koch put me on this path and it has seeped into all sports.

 

[GoPorts]

A 50% price increase and Hinkley on the screen. Kayo really don't want my money

 

[Doctor Feel]

"Cutting edge technology" aka the absolute worst shittest streaming platform you've ever used on your life.

Lol mine goes out of audio sync every 30 minutes or so and I have to restart the stream.

Aside from all that I reckon saturation coverage of sport kinda eats away at my enthusiasm.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I am actually planning to kill off all my streaming platforms and go back to torrenting this year. Far too many platforms and stupid prices. Kayo ill just stick to FTA. I only keep it for F1 really.

Its funny as when you look at it, you are paying $45 a month just to have no ads, but you get flooded with sportsbet ads anyway so whats the gain besides maybe some delayed telecasts.

 

[manureid]

$45 for Kayo.... bloody hell. Used for F1 and NFL mostly, so think I will give it the arse.

 

[Burningleviathan]

If you aren't watching F1 live there is a site that has replays up pretty quickly. Also has MotoGP. Considering F1 doesn't allow subscription to their streaming service here, I got no guilt about it.

I'll be dropping the NFL one next season as Disney covers most games.

The only decent value for money service is the NBA one.

"Cutting edge technology" aka the absolute worst shittest streaming platform you've ever used on your life.

Cutting the edges off of their technology to run on the bare minimum infrastructure

 

[edgie]

Okay so how else can we watch footy without paying $45 a month?

Aren't all SA teams on free to air? Sure sometimes it isn't live, but... I mean if you wanna keep lining foxtel pockets, go for it.

There's still 4-5 games on FTA every week. Everyone here doesn't even really like AFL anyway so it sounds like that's plenty of footy.

Yar me hearty

 

[Capital Power]

Only watch footy on Kayo, and in most weeks only the Port game. Not paying $46 for that. Back to the GD thread it is then (and to be fair it's so much better than commentary).

 

[soafraid]

Yar me hearty

Where can you stream AFL games that isn't some dogshit pixelly version that lags every 10 seconds?

 

[bomberclifford]

Back to the GD thread it is then (and to be fair it's so much better than commentary).

The GD threads have been the only thing keeping me connected the last few years.

I felt more disappointment from missing the shitposting than I did from missing the actual games.

 

[DaTBird187]

Periodically clean up my special movies folder..

Oh yeah, ya gotta do that.

Cut down on your smashed avos.

Kayo going up in price again in Feb 2026.

A Kayo Sports spokesperson said, “We are adjusting our subscription prices from February 5, 2026. These changes reflect the cost of sports rights in Australia and internationally and our continued investment in production and commentary, and cutting-edge technology.

Must be the increase in F1. Wish they would just do stand alone AFL subscription. $45pm is ridiculous.

I remember 10+ years ago when you got Kayo for free just for having a Telstra mobile plan. Then it was $5pm, then $15...

So all that's left is mind numbing BBL until footy season.. kill me

Sheffield Shield part 2 resumes after the BBL.

I always wondered why you type in caps in the GD thread. Its your enthusiasm

 

[Duck Farmer]

Only have Kayo for the footy and the F1. Went through the cancellation process a month ago after the Abu Dhabi GP and they gave me the next 6 months for $25. Suggest people try that.

 

[SparklingAle69]

The Bom forecast 37 for Whyalla today. It almost hit 47. To be 10 degrees off is Hinkley levels of incompetence.

PWHOAR SIXES GALOUR!!!!

Like that doesn't describe Kayo...
