AFL is bizarre. I get there are agendas at play here but every Monday it feels like there is a new vilification story with that shit sport.

Is there? Or is the media just looking for a story
beinSports is disappearing from Foxtel after 30 June.
Frustrating as it has been the broadcast home of 7s and European Rugby in Australia.

Does that not allow an opening for Stan to either host Bein or take their content?
You would hope it does. I do know you can subscribe to bein directly but you'd imagine they'd struggle for traction.
Given the rugby and tennis bein own it aligns with a lot of the Stan Sport content.

The problem the AFL has is too many ex-player and journalist pundits in a sport that's confined to one country. They have to fill the airwaves with as much "content" as possible and a lot of it is gossip and other baseless garbage. I like my footy but make a point of avoiding as much of the footy media as possible, Apart from the Front Bar, those blokes are funny.

That's a bugger, I've enjoyed seeing the European games this season.

Shows how niche the market is for rugby products in Australia at the moment unfortunately.
Meanwhile the NRL look to be heading towards a product that is 95% on paid tv and thriving.

Wonder how much AFL's decision to publicly back the Voice comes from the shit show that is/was the Hawthorn saga?
It's hard to distinguish from the noise of whether the AFL cares about supporting the Voice or if they're doing it to save face.

Nah, the Hawthorn saga wouldn't have been relevant - the AFL were always going to back the Voice.

A cynic would link it to the funding for an AFL stadium in Tasmania.
A non-cynic would think they would support it anyway.

That’s not the problem - it’s the plan. Clog the airwaves from the end of the Australian Open until Melbourne Cup. Content is king and they generate more than anyone else.

Yeah, I just saw this one from Laurie Fisher, came here to see if there was anymore detail
Huge loss. I was very lucky to have had a bit to do with Smithy particularly recently. He was as passionate as they come. Had great respect from the game.
It was a real thrill of mine to share a media box with him when I was pretending to be a journo with GAGR.
