Pretty similar to last years, not bad value, the link to gameday radio is great. The Unofficial Tigers App is awesome too.

I have an Iphone but I wont use this. You can stream radio online on other sites for free, I can get DT/SC and match day scores from FanFooty.com. I just cant see the value?

me too....

There is a new footy app on android called FootyInfo, in my eyes its the best, you should check it out.

Would love the official apps to on Android aswell.

Yep, fanfooty for SC scores. And any radio app run through an i-phone is slow. A $4 transistor from Dick Smith (10% off for members last year) gets me my race call at Rosehill quicker.

Surprising how few apps are actually used. I reckon 6 would be tops for most users?

Android OS outsells iPhones, when are you building an Android app?

Just checked it out, nice app.

Any idea when it updates SC scores? End of qtr, or end of game?

Cheers.

RFC Official - quick idea for you and sorry if there's something like this in place already. I'm an overseas supporter who was a member back in Melbourne but think the renewal form must have gone to my old address, so fell off the radar when I moved. Apologies and I will renew when I get around to it.

Anyway, one of the things about being an overseas supporter is that it is a pain to get access to any live coverage and/or replays of the game. The website that the AFL directs you to automatically instead of bigpond - liveafl.tv doesn't show all the games live and takes a while to upload others. There's other websites out there but they're all dodgy with pop up ads, constantly asking for credit card details etc etc.

I'm lucky now that my cable provider happens to be covered by ESPN3.com so I get free access to that for the Richmond games that they show. They show about 3 AFL games a week with good quality and fortunately the Tigers are on for the first four weekends. After that though, I'm not sure how I'll go.

I'd be happy to cough up a "Overseas membership" fee of say, ~$100 so I could get live, streaming coverage of games and replays online instantly. If I paid straight to the club like my normal membership, I'd be happily supporting the club but also know that I'm not getting ripped off by some dodgy website.

I'm not sure if the clubs have any sort of TV rights like that but it would certainly be a way to boost membership by grabbing all these overseas supporters who struggle to get coverage. When you live overseas, you only really want to see your team play, so club based TV arrangements might be the way to go.

Anyway, I like the app and might jump on and get it. I just would love a more organised way to watch footy on the internet.

Would be a fantastic idea for o/s members to be able to subscribe to the club for video. Not sure how the AFL would swing this though.
