Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 4

[Comettski_1]

I have a dream that one day i will be able to listen to a sports show in Adelaide and it will be interesting, unbiased and accurate. The glass is half-full

Strange isn't it that the only thing preventing this is a lack of demand?

The AFL's own media unit, that runs their website and provides good online content, is my target for headshaking today.

As an International Member one of the perks of the deal is that I get a annual subscription to watchafl.com.au. And one of the perks of that is that I am supposed to get an electronic AFL Record subscription. So today I get an e-mail announcing how to get my AFL Record for Ipad.

And Ipad only.

Sorry but I'd almost rather get a Crows 3-game membership than a Ipad. Overpriced, pretentious piece of crap!

My iPad says hi.

 

[Jim Dixon]

My iPad says hi.

Hi Eddie's Ipad.

But I seriously don't get the logic of it. Would Macca and Rick do their podcast so that only Ipad users could access it?

 

[Steve Dore]

Baaaaaaah

wharfie_1870 , can you expand on this? I'm not following your reasoning.

I wouldn't expect you to understand, I was talking to all the iPad and iPhone owners.

Avoid New Zealanders.

Well thats a given.

Right with you. Shithouse that my mobile AFL app subscription allowing me to watch all games, is not transferrable to iPad as well (I.e. I'd need to purchase 2 subscriptions to view on my android when I'm out AND on my iPad when I'm at home.

Plus the fact I can't watch live games on my desktop either. Dodgy dodgy service, no surprise that it's Telstra running the show.

iPad2s are fairly cheap these days.

If anyone wants to buy one at a local retailer, I can get them a good price

This is only the case if you use the in-app subscription via iTunes or Google Play. If you subscribe online via https://id.afl.com.au/livepass it's useable via multiple platforms.

Understand this isn't much consolation this year, but for next, um, FYI

Plus the fact I can't watch live games on my desktop either.

That's nothing more than a rights issue. The AFL doesn't allow it because it devalues the Fox Footy product offering, therefore breaching Fox Footy's rights.

Just did a comparison between the two and Thomas' isn't even anywhere close to Robbie Gray.

LT: 8 games, 11.00 dpg, 2.38 mpg, 2.50 i50pg, 3.50 tpg, 2.00 gpg, 1.00 gapg

RG: 8 games, 23.38 dpg, 5.50 mpg, 3.63 i50pg, 2.38 tpg, 1.63 gpg, 1.13 gapg

And even as underwhelming as they are, Linz' stats were wildly inflated by North's bashing of the Bears U19's last week - 19D, 4G, 5GA.

 

[Steve Dore]

2.38 mpg

That's 118.69 L/100 km

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lindsay Thomas is the only player in the entire AFL that I would honestly contract gastro for, just so I could shit all over him and everything he loves.

 

[I Dont Care]

2.38 mpg

That's about what this baby does

Argh, now you've got me started! I ended up doing this, but you can't just transfer your subscription from mobile to desktop, you've got to unsubscribe. Took me a week of back and forths to negotiate not being double charged, THEN I get double charged anyway, then another week of back and forths to get a refund on one of them.

Good to know I can access my afl live subscription on both devices this way though, I hadn't tried yet.

Either way I've been reduced to a cliche, another customer bitching about Telstra

That'd be because the charges are through separate sales channels i.e. one is Telstra and the other is Google Play, and each can't do much about the other. The problem is the lack of clarity about what one form of subscription gets you, as opposed to the other. The Livepass one is the same price but much better value than the in-app.

What a surprise that the one pissant flog who takes issue with our Creed on AFL 360 is stupid cRowe, called us arrogant talking about premierships in rd10 & the chest beating has started.
Wasn't this the same numpty saying we should lift the lid after the Geelong game? What a tosser...

I was going to say something about it, but i don't give a shit what he thinks. The big fat sook was obviously beaten from pillar to post when he played for norwood. Bone said he was going to keep within the walls what frog mouth said about the creed being on 360, lucky, because if he belittles it in anyway, the burning pitchforks will be after him.
