As that is mostly what it does. Just shows Replays over and over again.
They could do a lot better. What about State Leagues, Tac Cup and hey what about all of the U-18 Champs.
It could be a lot better Fox Footy but it’s not.
The 1st Fox Footy shit’s on this new one.
Agree?

Disagree 100%.
How much footy do you want? There is a satuation of footy now days.
You obviously didn't watch the game last night that was at Etihad.
If you watch Fox Footy all day, every day and don't go get some sun, I agree with you.
But seeing I work and I don't always get to see shows at 7 or 7:30, the replays are a big help. |

I am not Saying Stop the Replays 100% as they are needed but there can be more Varaity to the Shows and Games they put on.
The biggest change would be for over the Off-Season

Between work and uni, I don't get to see most footy games or the normal shows on during the week so I love how they replay a lot of the stuff even though I have IQ so I can record what I like. The off-season is actually my favorite as they play round-by-round each game. So if the Pies played a blinder in lets say round 10 against the Weagles  I get to watch it again! |

I agree it could be better Dave (like showing the Under 18 comp a bit more), but did the old Fox Footy have initiatives like "Press Red for Ed"?
9 games live in HD (or near enough), no ads. If you watched footy in the 70s and 80s, you'd kill for what we have now. |

No.
Apart from the replays (an excellent service, by the way), there are these:
Every game over the w/end, live,
Panel discussions before and after each game,
AFL 360, 4 nights a week (except if there's a Thursday night game),
Bounce,
The Club,
The Hangar,
Open Mike,
On the Couch,
Foxtel Cup matches,
30 Minute Thrillers,
Bounce,
Ed & Derm's Big Week,
Close Encounters

What the channel lacks from my POV is under 18 footy and more behind the scene club stuff
I.e summer footy show on clubs progressing through etc. |

Sorry 'bout that, Brenny.
I did consider leaving it out.

Would love more U-18 Stuff as that would Really Hype up the AFL Draft at years end

Sneaking suspicion when the number crunchers at Fox Footy weigh up the cost of covering the TAC Cup, versus the fact that what....20 people tops might watch it week in week out....it's probably not a great financial pursuit.
Fair dinkum, there's the TAC Future Stars on Ch9/WIN...what more do you want. Stop whinging, atleast you have the luxury of having access to Fox/pay TV.
As for hyping up the draft, I'm pretty sure that gets done to death late in the season and a few weeks out from the draft itself....and most of its yawn worthy unless you actually hear from AFL recruiters anyway.
But then again, some folk will never be happy and will always look to pot someone or something...... |
