SirFozzie Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah, I start all the threads for the weirdo sports.. It's a gift. The preseason cup (NAB Challenge) are on Fox Soccer Plus, and the season starts next month (probably with games on Fox Sports 2 and FS+ (I sadly do not get FS2 yet). But DEAN will be happy.

Zheroen Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I registered for the Free NAB Challenge Pass at http://watchafl.afl.com.au , leaning towards possibly getting the full season pass. Has anyone from here signed up for the streaming service before and have thoughts on its value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Once again the board delivers - I had no idea the NAB challenge was televised here. Of course I'm wiped out to day after staying up till 4 watching Western Bulldogs vs. Saints last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 COME ON YA SWANS! (BTW, either the AFANA's schedule hasn't been updated, or all the games will be on FS+, not Fox Sports 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone from here signed up for the streaming service before and have thoughts on its value? I would just get FS+ if you can (Especially if you have a DVR service). AFL costs $15/week, $25/month, or $139 for full season.. FS+ has a ton of games, and is only $15/month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Pete and I are bonded by the shitty football teams we like (New York Jets, West Coast Eagles). But the Eagles beat Fremantle in the NAB Challenge, that means something, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Heh. I'm old and I remember when the VFL (I still call it the VFL) was the first pro league ESPN had access to... when WCE came into existence it was so cool finally having a club to root for without 100 years of backstory or whatever.

Dewar Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Same reason I cheered for them. Transworld Sport every week airing VFL highlights, and I picked the "new" team to follow. Of course, by the time they won championships, there was zero coverage in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Heh. I'm old and I remember when the VFL (I still call it the VFL) was the first pro league ESPN had access to... I'm guessing most of us are in that same boat. I loved watching it back in the mid 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 And.. the season begins with an upset? Greater Western Sydney Giants (one of the two newest clubs in the AFL) just shocked the Sydney Swans. How big an upset is it? Consider this: The GWS Giants started last year 0-17 (they finished 1-21 on the season). As a new expansion team, they get a slightly larger financial cap, but they were 12-1 underdogs. The announcers called it a miracle. And boy howdy did Freemantle gob Collingwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We didn't make a 2015 thread, and since there's two weeks left in the regular season, I'm bumping this one instead. So I stayed up until 5 am on Sunday morning watching the West Coast Eagles beat the ever-loving hell out of the Western Bulldogs. I'm almost afraid to say this, but this might be the year the Eagles win the Premiership again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm a Carlton fan so I'm in the same boat as Dean. At least South Sydney has given me joy in NRL with a title last year and being top 4 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost afraid to say this, but this might be the year the Eagles win the Premiership again. it might be, especially if they get 2 home finals. Both WA teams (Dockers and Eagles) are tough to beat at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I woke up at 5 am to watch West Coast/Hawthorn, and god damn, was it a good decision. The Eagles are looking fantastic, up by 50 after three quarters, with the wind advantage in the fourth quarter. The scary part is Matt Priddis is out injured today.
