VFL VFL: Geelong Season 2021

[catempire]

Not quite with you train of thought here CE...

The typo wouldn’t have helped... “Keep is a little premature”.

By which I meant, he’s been here such a short time I wouldn’t say it had been an active decision to “keep” him.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

This should be good!

This is outstanding

Isn't the whole reply chain about De Koning?

 

[Turbocat]

Isn't the whole reply chain about De Koning?

Is it? I have lost track.

If its about Dek then he has done the 3/5ths of sfa atm.. as you have said... still I like the early signs..

will need soe to be live streaming for me.. or an on demand option as im ****ed as Kayo not available outside OZ and Fox Footy wont cover it.

GO Catters

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Is it only on Kayo or in Foxtel as well? Surely Foxtel could at least have the matches available afterwards on demand. It’s a great step forward having the games covered anyway.
Is the ABC still providing a couple of games?

I know the AFL love looking to the US for ways they can improve the AFL. Providing tv coverage of state league and the elite junior games would grow interest in the game. Particularly in the draft and junior players. It would give more people access to know players before they’re drafted. Allowing the AFL to make the draft the bigger event they want.

Well there does seem to be a fair bit of Hollywood action shifting down under. The guy from 50 shades of grey was in the corporate box next to the one I was in at the wiggles concert with his kids yesterday. Might be some opportunity

The big cost is the camera crew at the game, once that's paid for making it available to a bunch of platforms to stream should be just additional zero cost revenue for them

College sport gets broadcast in the US because huge swathes of the population care way more about Ohio State or LSU or Duke than they do about an NFL or NBA team. That's competition to the big leagues rather than growing the sport.

[Live in hope]

Sam Simpson to play this weekend

Fingers crossed with Sam. That was a huge hit in last year’s GF - it’s hard for some players to get back to their best after knocks like those.
Although we need him in the AFL, they should avoid rushing him back.

He had a shoulder issue and then a quad, I know the hit your talking about is for concussion purposes but it’s been 7 months.
He’ll be fine

its not really competition but it more compliments the NFL.
There is only 8 home games per season in the NFL and most are in major cities that support only 1 team. Tickets for most NFL games sell out quickly and are damn expensive.
Also college football is played predominantly on Saturdays while the NFL doesn’t play on Saturdays and most of it’s games are played on a Sunday. The reason for this is so the 2 tiers (pro & college) do not go head to head and compete with one another.
You’re right about the passion for college support among it’s fans. The passion and enthusiasm I’ve witnessed at college games is 10x that I’ve seen at NFL games. The following among a lot of college football teams is as high (if not higher) than some pro teams particularly in places that don’t have NFL teams. A lot of this has to do with the connection a lot of the fans have to those colleges.

I believe it’s on Kayo freebies - not as straight forward as a Foxtel box but doesn’t seem like any money needs to be paid to view

You're right. Forgot about that. I saw some advertising to this effect in the last couple of days.

The AFL can’t even get AFL on cable tv this year in the US for the first time since 1988. It’s a s**t show. - so my chances of seeing VFL here are none and none
