Agreed. People able to buy an individual team pass, so for instance I could buy a Swans pass that would give me access to Swans games for lets say $5 a month, and if I buy access to all 9 games then it is $25 a month (or something to that effect).
Only concern is the AFL have not yet mastered how to run a website, something they should have mastered 25 years ago. I am not sure how they are going to handle streaming.
That option may be good for the customers, but it'd be a disaster for the afl.
The AFL would still stick ads in the broadcast so they would collect the advertising dollars too.
Yes but if u have people only buying access to their own teams games that's gonna result is much lower ratings and ad revenue for neutral games.
I thought the NFL and NBA still took the content from their broadcasters (Fox, NBC, CBS and ESPN for the NFL and ESPN, Turner and the local cable sports networks for the NBA)? Well that's what gets broadcasted here.Yes and know, it’s time they went the way of the NFL, EPL and NBA produce all their own content. It gives them a lot more flexibility when selling the product.
At the same time it could help and grow the overall subscribers as one of the key reason people stick to FTA games is due to cost reasons.Yes but if u have people only buying access to their own teams games that's gonna result is much lower ratings and ad revenue for neutral games.

You know what sucks. AFL fans have to pay for a full membership, meaning access to the NRL as well. Why not only have an AFL membership which only gives access to AFL games but at a cheaper price than full membership? Why force AFL fans to sign up to the NRL, and force NRL fans to sign up to the AFL?
It’s more of a leap for telcos to get into TV then it is for streaming services. Foxtel will be dead in a few years, it will get to a point if they keep losing money they will try and shift everyone one to their ITV servicesThere was a time, maybe 4 or 5 years ago, when many were predicting that telcos would come to dominate the broadcasting of sport, sooner rather than later.
Premier League to Optus was first cab off the rank.
Stan a bit different, but they got the rugby.
Now we have Australia's largest telco vacating the broadcasting of sport.
FTA and STV still fighting hard to retain the big sports.
Telcos don't really look like they are taking over in a hurry.
It just seems like instead of just a few FTA channels and Foxtel chasing the rights there are now maybe a dozen potential streaming competitors like the Telcos, BeIn Sports, Dazn.
Most of them would find a local FTA partner for the bidding process, I think the teaming up and deal they offer to the AFL could all be really interesting.
A lot more options now to create clever content offerings. Let's hope the AFL continue to see lots of FTA as a big positive and don't go the way of other sports and take more $$ on the deal from subscriber platforms.
Watching (trying to watch) EPL in England is a massive pain in the bollocks. If the AFL ever gets that way, there's no way they'll have the interest from my kids that they got from me at a young age.
Although we keep hearing that kids don't watch traditional TV anymore.
It’s not just AFL and nrl though - this deal works well for me as I no longer have to pay for Kayo to watch the cricket tour of South Africa for example. Plenty of other sports too.

Will there come a moment when the 3 million subscribers are paying about 20% of what they might have been paying 15 years ago?
