Eddie Mcguire "DAZN (Fox/Kayo) are not happy with the AFL deal and they want to cut it

WatchAFL is ridiculously priced $22 a week, $44 a month, or $250 a year.
I pay 182USD a year - fine with that - take my $$

Maybe, but DAZN could then just take the AFL in perpetual lawsuits, would be cheaper for them and really bad for the AFL. Plus I'm not sure how big the clauses can really be, the AFL would have to demonstrate lost income, and the AFL can sell the rights on to someone else to mitigate any losses.
Not to mention DAZN was able to get out of the french league rights. I'm sure there's some financial fine involved in regard to leaving the deal. I'm sure DAZN would rather pay it, and just get out of it all together. Plus, it would be bad for the game if the AFL stayed on a network that didn't want it, because if DAZN started cracking the shits, they could easily dump their panel programs and produce an absolute barebones version of the game that would turn a lot of viewers away from it. The AFL should also look at this as an opportunity to fix their shitty broadcast deal.

The barebones version is what Fox Sports did to the a-league.

And yet we all know matches will be broadcast on Foxtel this week, business as usual.

This means DAZN either can't get out of the deal, or they don't want to. Hence the AFL is run by people with law degrees, not game show hosts.
