Just a reminder.

Always go to your club website and see what packages are on offer. 

 

The price varies from club to club but smaller clubs are usually cheapest.

As an example, international membership for GWS is only $158 (with a free GWS cap), while Hawthorn charge $179.

Some clubs give you a choice, so instead of a cap or scarf you can elect to receive two, game-day tickets, to use if you will be in Australia during the season.

At the moment there is some delay in sending out the code required to watch all games online, but it's meant to be sorted out next week.

 

Seems like watchafl have seen the light and gone back to charging in Aussie dollars instead of USD, so if you do purchase from them with an Australian credit card, you no longer get stung with forex charges.

 

Saw this on another website but basically just echoing what kkerry said.

 

"If you just want the pass and don't give a crap for the club, here's the cost each club is charging for the watchAFL membership. It is worth taking a look at the additional stuff they throw in with the membership. Carlton for example offer 2 general admission tickets, Geelong offer a $50 voucher for the Cats Shop".

Adelaide Crows: $155
Brisbane Lions: ($155 in 2016, not released yet for 2017)
Carlton: $170
Collingwood: $175
Essendon: $155
Fremantle: $150
Gold Coast Suns: $168
Geelong Cats: $160
GWS Giants: $158
Hawthorn: $179
Melbourne: Don't appear to offer watchafl membership (or at least I can't find it)
North Melbourne: $185
Port Adelaide: $165
Richmond: $170
St Kilda: $170
Sydney Swans: $205
Western Bulldogs: $185
West Coast Eagles: $170

Alex, ah now i understand. Can't be done two years in a row, mate!
 
And this year with the Dees offering promise, it will be your undoing. 
 
[i think i might talking vicariously as i know I overrate the bombers. Plenty of scope and rope for me to hang myself which no doubt,  i will shamelessly do!! ]

3rd fantasy season 2017 optus.....no TV member won last year so there for im still the reigning champion...glad you get it....

Yes old chooks got the colliewobbles late in season 1, managed to scrape through but was struggling in the last few home and away games, went out in straight sets in the finals much to everyone's suprise...19 straight wins i think, shall remain a record for a long time i think...me i came from 3rd to win it and was trailing last quarter, big effort from some of the real Dee players got me over the line in the end....

Last year Grant was TV leading man followed by new comer JoBlow who did a fair job against incredible odds....they made the finals Chooks failed to make the finals and i did not come last....

This season the pressure is on....The Delightful Dees are looking bottom 4 were been recruiting but alas were being snookered by the bigger clubs like The Dominators and CM Saints....we will give it a red hot go take it one game at a time and might even get lucky you know....

To Bring you up to date on the tipping....Old WILL is the master there, back to back though season prior was kinda smokes and dagger stuff so what ever you do dont upset the wrong people in here...what ever you do dont run 2 of anything....if you get my drift....A previous winner came second to the master last year im sure he will be a long soon too remind us once again, FJ was a worth winner i hear but before my time....

Will is going for a three peat i think he should be on a handicap of 5 at least....mind games loose cannons stuff lots of jumping to conclusions etc etc......my good mate Ron...and what ever you do keep Ron on your side fella...as hes a moderator here.....was steamrolling towards seasons end and a dark horse to challenge WILL i think......the guy with the monkey.....you can discount him completely hes a bad poker player you will see wild mood swings followed by rash decisions and when some come off you will think your in Adelaide after a Crows win.....

Nice round up alex and I caught a pearl or two before they got to the keeper's gloves!  Good have some history and color regarding the competition before the slaughter begins. I really have no idea re fantasy footy but am on board. In that light, I agree. Will should be handicapped!!

Haha!   Will27 handicapped??  What a joke!  It's pathetic ,,,

These Victorians have no shame in their desperation to beat the supporters of the mighty West Coast Eagles.

You're killing me softly AlexRRR.

 

Why the hate for the Coasters?

 

So tell me, what do you consider a pass mark (ladder position) for Melbourne this year?

 

 

[AlexRRR]

Awww MR WILL no hate towards WCE, Crows I dislike of the expansion teams, I even was rooting for you guys in your 2 flag wins, VFL were happy to take your money and I was happy for you guys to get a few flags .....

Dee's will need to make the finals at the very least so a pass mark is 8th, I am of course hoping for a better outcome though I fully expect a collapse when the finals begin.

WCE have not recruited well, will Kennedy go unnoticed this season? I don't think so, your Brownlow medalist wasn't so effective last season and I'm thinking he's going to do a Wowoden...still
Handy of course, with out your 2 key ruckman for at least half a season then no pre season under there belts will be as affective as hair on your chin...

Eagles 2017 

 

We swear by the hair on our chinny chin chins

Where  gonna keep hangin' around
We'll huff and puff and knock the ball down

And nail another premiership in..

Never heard of him but then again us Vic's are just meat pies and chevies now that GMH have gone, were so isolated down here on the windswept ruggered south coast its footy in winter and cricket in summer no time for culture....

[AlexRRR]

One Ben Sharp drug addict and former WCE and buddy or a Bennie Cousins also one time Eagle and resident drug addict of the state of excitement better known as the party capital, blames the culture at the Eagles apon his arrival at said club for his demise before it started, in court with his mate and brother jocking for a lighter sentence after been napped for armed robbery while being high as a kite.

The guy did manage to get a B&F at AFL side Werribee in 2011, never played an AFL game recons to fit in with "the guys" at the Eagles started taking cocaine moving on to ice later....Bennies substance of choice....that will fry the brain....Is that what you were on when you composed that poem Jo?

AFL looking at 16 a side....to ease congestion.....here we go....a few more years and the game wont look like anything i played when i was a kid....

The good Doctor....former Swans owner and suburban medical clinic builder thats how he makes his money, who must be pushing all of 70, well known trawler of sugar daddy web sites and delving on the outskirts of orginaze crime has taken a restraint order out on the latest ex Gabbie....who looked like when introduced to the public a few years back had spent at least 5 years at the Eagles along with the 2 Bens is pictured in a dark suite with matching hair and sunglasses.....the makeover is complete....

[farmerjo]

Ah it's not bad Alex.

I had quite a few Eagles mates in the early days.

Good hard honest people having a go.

And i will leave it at that.

As far as 16 a side,you can thank the pu-yings of the world for that. 

[Will27]

Some good news for those with the AFL Global Pass.

 

Word on the Soi is that this year it will include the Fox Footy channel so

will be able to get On the Couch, Open Mike etc.

Well, if one of our esteemed members has a relative playing and seeing as WCE don't have a side, I'm

on board as well mate.

[AlexRRR]

Won't be long before hard nut jack will be leading the Dee's came as a surprise that there gone to co captains again, I prefer just one captain and JV certainly meets the requirements though will need to tone it down just a little if don't want to be meeting with the tribunal guys after a game.... his Dad was a gun so is the kid...

Ps.... interesting Times ahead pop Viney joined the Dee's from SA prior to the Dee's resurgence under John Northey even then we had a bucket load of youthful stars in the making.... the next 10 years might be good for me....

Well news from Perth in today's little big paper has it that Lyon is looking resigned to loosing Fyfe.

They intend to make Fyfe captain of the Dockers....good move...will make him more expensive for rival clubs, since no club as yet matched an offer for a restricted free agent its unlikely the Dockers will as well...but the threat of being able to and enough noise that you will is sure to get some brownie points when it comes to the draft and the possibility of picking up a player from the club he will be heading to or in the new world a 3 or even 4 way trade...

So he's virtually gone and Melbourne is looking like his home from 2018 and on,, so who's got the $$$$ to get him, 1 million plus has been thrown around, now lets see....

Hawks?....think there spent up, they got the mids they wanted this year...

Carlton?...one rumour has them placed...money sure they have it...to low in the ladder and not looking like they will be anywhere soon either....i would discount the Blues...

Pies?...oh yes....aggressive always when it comes to pinching good players from other clubs....just take Nathan there coach ho lets not forget the younger Rocca from the Swans....yes im sure they would be circling....unless they have a good year Nat might not like the black and white jumper on his back...

Saints?....Rumoured to be a favorite and is expected to play finals, do they have the $$, big Nick's last year? Will open up the treasure chest for sure if he retires, if not and does play on will most likely play for peanuts and in a limited capacity so yeah very very possible...

Demons? Why not? No big pay packets there, Lewis is reportedly on 600,000, the club with the hottest young list on the planet, plays on the best ground most weeks steeped in history and on the verge of making more.....they have the money and the pulling power, no slouches as were seen even when a struggling rabble to pull the best on offer when it was around and thats like 3 out of 5 seasons....oh yes he could be heading our ways.....

North?....no Fj no chance....

Who's left? I got so worked up when i wrote what a great fit he would be at the Dee's i cant recall anymore clubs....hehe

There is an evil spirit in BKK reminding you that the Dees won their 12th and most recent flag way back in 1864 1964.

[Will27]

If only Swallow showed this much aggression to the opposition.

 

A good and overdue move by Norf, making Ziebell captain methinks.

A new look to watchafl this season with Fox Sports.

Picture quality is great, didn't buffer once watching Carlton v GWS.

Entertaining game, GWS nowhere near as bad as expected but after leading by a couple of goals in the third quarter, fell away late in the game to give Carlton their second win of the season. 

Family day at Princes Park so nearly eight thousand watched the game.
