Name me the last members only streaming match.
I canāt. I can name plenty of years when they didnāt stream it though. In fact, has it happened more than once?
As this is taking the place of official preseason matches, Iāll accept any of those games where live viewing was restricted to members only as well.
From any club.
Those games its replacing were free for members, not free for anyone else to attend.
Nobody can attend so thatās irrelevant.
The only opportunity to watch Essendon in a preseason game, which this is, thatās never been a members only privilege.
For any AFL team?
Correct?
This isnāt a matter of free or not free.
Thereās no option to pay $5 to watch it.
itās a members only privilege for Fark Carlton as well
Yes, Iām aware of that.
As itās their āhome gameā I do wonder if it was their idea.
The clubs using it as a little kicker to get people to sign up, good on them.
Some members complain they donāt get value out of their membership, well hereās something exclusive.
Others refuse to buy a membership because they donāt believe in the direction of the club (or whatever) and they actively complain and detract from the club online, encouraging others not to buy memberships, etc. then they moan about not getting more inside access to the club, for free.
Its like stalking an ex, itās creepy.
Well, yes. Theyāve created the exclusion.
Theyāre not adding something for members. Theyāre taking something from fans.
If they made The Hangar members only that wouldnāt be giving members something extra, it would be taking something from non-members.
So much easier to do, and Iām wary of suggesting it even as a silly example.
Checked with the club. There will be a video replay of the Carlton game available for anyone to view afterwards. Unsure of timing though sorry. It could be that night but not confirmed as yet
How would it make you feel if we were lining Fark Carltonās pockets?
so now the club are giving away my member exclusive content FOR FREE.
burn the joint to the ground.
Again, I concede the possibility that Essendon may not have had a choice in this decision.
Damnit you sooks: VFLW round one is on this weekend at The Hangar and entry is allowed and (presumably) free.
Not sure if theyāll keep telling @nackers to stay away from training, though.
Great stuff. There ya go non members, our shout.
hey @theDJR, is your excitement re the VFLW all about the football, or do you have more skin in the game?
I retract any of my previous statements.
Purely the footy (and you know the AFL donāt like that).
From my 2019 season review:
After posts from some people in this thread Iām doubling down.
Not gonna risk becoming like That.
