So does the SANFL not want any radio stations to broadcast it games or do no radio stations want to do it?

I believe Life FM wanted to broadcast games.

But those roles would be filled by ( mostly ) independent thinkers and not SANFL apologists.

Local Grassroots footy seems to have good radio coverage these days, SANFL now has NIL, hard not to think that the SANFL/AFL master plan of dumbing down the league to be a development one is working, therefore eliminating much of their cost base.

Wow that is truly a bizarre decision by the SANFL, surely it would be more beneficial for the league to have a radio broadcast partner.

SANFL fans will have the perfect opportunity to support their favourite club via the 2017 SANFL Macca’s League Digital Pass.

For the first time, matches will be live-streamed and available on demand in high definition through the SANFL website and Official SANFL App.

This will provide supporters with great flexibility in being able to watch all of their team’s games in 2017.

SANFL General Manager Football, Adam Kelly, explained why the SANFL has invested in the digital pass: “It is sometimes just not possible to be at the ground watching your team. The digital pass allows you to stay in touch with all the action, no matter where you may be. This is an exciting initiative that significantly extends the reach of the competition.”

Signing up for the 2017 SANFL Macca’s League Digital Pass will also benefit SANFL clubs financially, with funds being injected back into each supporter’s nominated club.

As a bonus for SANFL club members, SANFL Macca’s League Digital Pass subscriptions will be heavily discounted at just $29.99 for the season or $5.99 for a month’s access.

For non-members the season pass will be priced at $74.99 and $14.99 for a month.

The SANFL Macca’s League Digital Pass will be ideal for ardent fans living overseas, interstate and in regional communities wanting to stay in touch with the action from afar.

Once signed up, fans will have access to all of their favourite team’s games live and will also be able to access an archive of all of their team’s games at any stage through the season as long as their subscription is active.

Each live stream will feature play-by-play commentary.

To sign up for your team’s SANFL Macca’s League Digital Pass, visit digitalpass.sanfl.com.au and click on your club.

“In season 2017, beyond the family friendly, up close, exciting and safe environments you will experience at the ground, you can follow the SANFL Macca’s League in more ways than ever before,” Kelly said.
”Channel 7 will broadcast the game of the week on the main channel, you will have access to a call of every game via SANFL radio on the SANFL app, comprehensive stats and scores will be provided through the app and website and now the digital pass will allow you to watch your team on the device of your choice or on full screen via a smart TV.”

So it's anywhere from $30 to $75 to get all your clubs games, live. ( Other than the ones shown on C7 )

I assume the "radio" call will just be the TV stream audio, can't see them having two broadcast teams at each ground. I'd be interested if those calling the game change their "style" to suit radio ( paint a picture ) or TV ( describe a picture )?

Got my reply, had to giggle as nowhere in my message to them did I mention my name on here, big brother is watching. :lol:

$90 per season for the AFL equivalent (198 games in total), or free if you're a telstra customer. The SANFL product is steep in comparison given its limited to 18 games, but at least the option is now available which is a step in the right direction.

interesting PAP and the crows not involved.

I cant see any issues with the plan. As a member I can trial it for $5.99 or buy a season $29.99.

Just bought my digital pass then, but only plan to use it to watch the replays!

As a side note, the total lack of radio is shyte as I think it's absolutely critical to this competition. More than a lot of people realise. Radio offers the most convenient reach than all other forms of media - ie. listening at the game, driving in the car, while gardening, etc.

If it was possible for the SANFL re-engage with their long-time community radio partners RPH and LifeFM or maybe some new ones like Radio Adelaide (might cost a few $$, but they were willing to spend far more on the women's comp - which I think is great, btw), it would do the competition a world of good.

If they can organise the audio streaming to not be delayed it'll be the best of both worlds. Video killed the radio star.

I would have thought it would be somewhere in between so there is a happy medium between the two.
