So none then? Seriously, I'm a Miami Dolphins fan and I'll be lucky to see one game a season televised over here. Foxtel's NFL coverage is awful. NBA too in fact (Orlando Magic). They seem to pick 2-3 teams a year and just show their games every week. Not sure what kind of licensing deal they have, but for the money they charge for the service, it's disgraceful. I assume they are restricted to what games ESPN televise. Do you know if any free to air channels still show some games? I remember channel 10 broadcasting a game a week a few years back.

7 mate is the only way to view NFL games free to air. From memory they had 3 games per week. If that doesn't work you can try NFL pass.

In terms with NBA , Foxtel have poor coverage and basically play the top teams and I can't see that changing. If your wanting to watch Orlando the only way is stream or NBA pass.

You need to do what I do, I subscribe to NFL.Com's Game Pass. I watch every NFL game if I want to. I used to only get the Phins but last year they offered me the whole deal for a modest increase. Think I pay $165 bucks. Bloody cheap. I can watch them when I want to.

 

[Runnin Blue]

7mate shows it, I think.

Cheers.

That sucks.

I am not sure about NFL scheduling here. I just watch random games without following an actual team.

3 games a week isn't bad, but I suspect one or two of them are the same games on ESPN.

I fell into the trap of believing that I would get coverage of every NBA and NFL game when I initially signed up for Foxtel. Even after realising I don't, it's still hard to give it up as I don't want to go back to watching free to air AFL lol.

Yeah, I realise that unless Orlando start making the finals regularly, ESPN won't show their games. I've looked into NBA pass but always found it way too expensive. Plus, I'd want to get NFL pass too lol, add those to my Foxtel subscription and I'm paying over 2 grand a year just to watch my favourite sports!

NFL Pass is tempting for that price, especially if I just get Dolphins' games. I almost did it last season but they'd played too many games already to make it worth it.

Gamepass is awesome. I usually get up early to watch RedZone, but it's great with the condensed games to be able to watch 4-6 games in a evenings viewing. Also being able to download them to your iPad, I can watch a game on the tram ride to and from work every day.

Ain't it great? I go way back to Don Lane on the ABC introducing the game to OZ. I saw the Phins maybe twice a year.

Get in now, my auto renew happens on August the 5th but you can join now and watch last year's games. Use the condensed version and go for it. I'll find the email and give you an exact price.
Just checked and offering it to me for 129.99USD which is 173 AUD. My advice, go for it,bang for bucks. Price changes each year due to exchange rates. small increase I think this year. I can live with that. I pay a damn sight more for bloody Foxtel.

The reason, why is simple, Foxtel have the rights to the NFC games. The only time you get to any of the AFC teams is on Monday Night football. Then you are stuck with listening to Gruden the ponce.
7mate usually take one different game to Foxtel. I'm way over trying to get it for free. This way I can watch whatever game I want to.

 

[AmericanCrow]

I'm not trying to be mean, but in a perverse way I am looking forward to watching Browns games and RG3 trying to be a pocket passer this year.

He won't last 3 games. We both know that

 

[AmericanCrow]

Indians have a good pitcher and batting lineup. Just don't rate their short stop. He needs to get down to the ball. None of this Ole bullshit.

Kid has a bright future though.

I don't know if I'm looking in the right spot, but I can only find an option for NFL Game Pass (every team, every game) for $259.99AUD. They appear to have removed the option for one team only.

EDIT: And NBA League Pass Premium seems to be available for $76.99AUD. That doesn't seem right, I never remember it being that cheap. Might be only until next season starts?

I tend to disagree with you on RG3. I think Hue Jackson will remake him and be a good coach for you guys. Gordon will be back and you have some good young talent in the RB and WR ranks now. The best move you made was sacking that DH Ray Farmer. So glad he turned the Phins job down that Hickey got.

Look again. I 'll take a gander myself.

I guess it's different for me and watching NFL games. As a Patriots fan , the games are pretty much on every week. It's harder for you as a Dolphins fan to watch games as they are rarely on FTA. So the best option for you is the NFL league pass.

 

[Ozzie]

Mnnn... I looked they are saying there is still one only team available but I couldn't find it. Submit a request and let them get back to you. On those prices I must be getting a special deal because I'm already a client.

It only seems like that. Pats get so many MNF games compared to the Phins. Also they make the PO. We are home playing tiddlywinks. Foxtel as I said hold the NFC rights.

Ok, cheers mate. One more question, do you know if you can stream it to the tv through Apple TV? Or do that lock that out like some apps do?

If Apple Tv doesn't work get Chromecast

That's how I got into the NFL, I follow the 49ers because they were awesome back then and I jumped on the bandwagon, Jerry Rice was my favourite player. Haven't won a Super Bowl since 94, have got close a few times though.

I have a large computer screen that does me.

I'm also a Dolphins fan - long suffering, since the glory days of 1976. Hopefully we'll see a wider variety of teams on FTA this year now Jarryd Hayne has quit the NFL to pursue Pokemon Go professionally

You can get it at a discounted price by paying with Apple iTunes Vouchers and waiting for them to be on 25% discount (usually every month or so at either Coles or Woolies). I was getting sick of missing all the Panthers games and 7mate only playing ****ing San Fran games last season

 

[hey shorty]

White Sox win 30 against Cubs
