2015 Pre-Season (All news, press conferences, training reports)

[MacMum]

Saints seem to be in the same situation as us....no stream available at this stage.

 

[a mayes ing]

Can't wait to see my boy Close. Absolute bull we can't see the game.

[Big Sauce 21]

What would be the costs. Get Dayne to crack a 100 and get a connection going.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

This bloke Tallon is pretty bloody impressive.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Can verify that Zorko looked electric. Dawson louds of potential. Rich And Claye dynamic from HB.

 

[dlanod]

Anyone know if it'll be on the radio?

That says AFL Live Radio will stream it. But then again, it says the same for every other match as well...

 

[ninja_lion]

Are we going to be able to get running reports on the game Saturday......a Lion and Saint in this household will be most anxious to hear how its playing out.

Anyone going?

I'm going with the bf who is a saints fan. We live locally so will be riding our bikes there...should help us cool off from the inevitable argument as we get kinda competitive. Therefore, I'm not sure any posts I'd make would be in any way helpful haha

 

[SizeMatters]

Why can't they just upload the whole game to youtube or something at a later date? Highlights are great as well but would really love the whole game...

 

[SizeMatters]

How has Dayne been going anyway? Have heard literally zip on him besides a few interviews... has he picked up from where he left off at the Pies? Does he look a class above his team-mates?

You in prison or something? Get your ass up there and watch it live!

 

[whatboutbob]

Read into it what you will but when the defenders splintered off Jed didn't join them.

EDIT Paps did on the other hand. Hmm.

Umm Cool, what about for all the people that don't live in Queensland.

I just read on a news.com article that the Crows are annoyed because they aren't allowed to stream their game this weekend because of the AFL's deal with Foxtel. It said 4 out of the 6 games this weekend (and next) will be broadcast on TV, and the games that don't make the cut aren't allowed to be streamed. So you can't blame the club for this one. Apparently every team is meant to get at least 2 of their games televised...

What exactly do you want them to do? The games in QLD, they're putting info about the schedule out, I'm really not sure what you expect, its a pre-season game. They've already put info out about a live chat but if Foxtel aren't going to cover it there's not much you can do about it. Despite people thinking that you can just live stream something easily, it takes a fair bit of resources to do so properly, both in terms of staff and technical expertise both of which we're a bit short on at the moment given we have an administration that has been cut to the bone over the preceeding 5 years. If they did a half arsed job of it I'd imagine people would then be up in arms about that.

First of all: Chill, no need to go down someones throat.
Second of all: I am not annoyed at the club, the article mentions what to do if u are in Queensland but there is a big majority of people outside of Queensland (like myself) who are unable to get down there. They have mentioned nothing in the article about what to do. Even if they had just said look at twitter updates for people outside of Queensland, it would have been better than nothing.

I wasn't going down your throat (that sounds really bad by the way). I was asking a genuine question since you've put the link and just asked one question without expanding at all. If you had then said that they should have some info on where to look for coverage (which they already have by the way) I could have directed you to this article for the answers. I'd imagine they may republish this info closer to the date and add to monitor the lions twitter feed as well but thats something that will probably wait until later in the week given they wanted to get the info out asap for those that are attending or thinking of attending.

One extra bit of info in the original post could have saved us this hassle and it wouldn't look like you were just sitting there potting the club like a fair few have ad nauseum for similar things in the past.

Fair enough, however wasn't "potting" the club, merely the article and l did say what we were supposed to do for people outside Queensland. Anyway, All good.

 

[chopperduck]

End of the day it is a preseason game that isnt given much coverage. There isnt much point complaining about what people should do for coverage who cant attend. If there is no coverage then there is no coverage. It is the AFL decision to not do full coverage for the preseason games.

Subcontract it to Thunder Vision. Those blokes seem to do a good job on a shoestring.

Is that the stuff on NITV? That is really quite a decent product.

They do do a good job. Question is I guess would be how much does it actually cost? Perhaps they have a few enthusiastic semi volunteers that do it? Don't know much about their operation.

 

[POBT]

IIRC, the Thunder games are televised through funding from the Federal and Territory governments and maybe the AFL too?
