Get Kane Cornes and David King a debate show once a week and let Kane troll.

For footy content I'll watch the first 20 minutes of 360 on a monday, first crack, then whatever is posted on SEN and MMM youtube throughout the week. Used to watch everything on Fox... totally disinterested now.

Fox Footy are utter crap. They just posted an article about umpires in Ballarat betting on games as if it happened yesterday...it was ten years ago!
To be pedantic this is actually 'FoxSports', but I agree and am somewhat disillusioned that their website has now evolved into mostly click-bait headlines and articles promoting believable nonsense with often 'the source' or related narrative being simply Twitter posts from a few Neville Nobody's..?

Mainly due to the demands of 24/7 content and outlets competing for attention and relevance, this is the sad reality of our modern media...

Couldn't believe it. About the only decent show these days and it's nowhere to be seen.

Not like there'd be much to analyse after four gripping finals.
Best footy show on TV.

With no game on Sunday, they probably thought no one would tune in.
They were always goiing to show Best on Ground after the last game on a Saturday.
 
More reviews of classic games from the 70s 80s and 90s.

Gives those under 30 the chance to see some of the greatest performances and games in history with retrospectives from 1 commentator and a couple of the players involved

Wouldn't be an expensive exercise

Pretty psyched to hear about Reiwoldt's massive 1 year extension and off season plans tonight.

Follow that up with another 45 minutes of cliches delivered by more players.

Don't think anything of note happened in the AFL world today so can't blame them
 
Read an article that says foxtel will supply their own commentary for each game no matter who is broadcasting. Just like the NRL I believe.


Hallelujah. No more Hame.

Foxsports website has always been pretty much that style. Full of hysteria and hyperbolic nonsense. Been consciously avoiding it for years.

I disagree. It had its purpose.

You either have no money and settle with 3-4 games of free to air games a round.

Or pay money to get Foxtel and watch all games
I wasn't talking about its accessibility. My view was its production was behind Channel 9 or even Channel 10 standards.

I'm the same. SEN clips, MMM clips and then I'll pick and choose a few minutes of 360, OTC if there's a good guest or if I'm extra interested in a certain footy topic that week.

Haven't watched AFL360 for ages.

So I decided to tune in tonight and watch the first segment before any interviews.

Lo and behold, BOTH Riewoldts.

Don't think I've changed channel quicker.

Now First Crack is gone, the only time I watch FoxFooty is when there's a game on to avoid the ads.

Sad state of affairs......
