Thats the staggering thing, other sports and even other country leagues are expanding into radio coverage and free live streaming, all while the SANFL remove radio coverage and charge for streaming!

You'd almost think that someone was intentionally trying to kill the league off.

Late February and still nothing regarding the digital pass or if there will be any coverage for the season ahead, for those getting club memberships for 2018 is there any mention of the digital pass as an option for 2018?

Souths website does, but it talks about the 2017 finals.

Couldn't see anything on North's membership package about it at all.

Norwoods, like South, references the 2017 season.

West Adelaide, no response to "digital pass" search, WWT the same...

The SANFL Website's "Digital Pass" search unearths the $7.99 2017 SANFL finals series....what a ******* joke.

I'm not looking at any more.

Yeah I had a look at Glenelg and Sturt's and could see no mention of it, suffice to say I'm pretty confident last year was an abject failure otherwise we would have heard all about it by now.

Only way they can head from here is to make it free and promote the league.

It really is so sad yet so, so laughable.


That's my experience.


Yep, me too!

I swear the app gets worse every year, absolute junk. I actually find it is quicker to check on here for the live scores of other games.

Maybe that's why there's nothing coming up about the Digital Pass, the SANFL know the app is shit and they're not bothering until it's developed properly?

True.
But I think what is more realistic, considering the direction the league is taking, is that any discussion about the game outside of the oval, will require both the speaker and listener to contribute to a John Olsen inspired "SANFL broadcasting tax". Likewise, forums like this one will incur the same tax, and would be for subscribers only.
This will encourage more people to actually attend games because otherwise there will be no way to know what happened there!
I think I am really getting the hang of the new SANFL philosphy, and all I see are doors, opening everywhere!!!

I tried to replicate the radio; bluetooth speaker via the phone in the shed - of course the phone goes to sleep and once you lose connection with the SANFL it takes a few goes to reconnect. You then need another app (wakelock) to stop the CPU sleeping, which then drains the battery so you need to plug into the mains. Same with the speaker. Its a logistical act just to listen to a game of SANFL footy in your shed or garden. My plan for this year is hardwiring some crappy speakers for the outside to the PC.

While I am whinging, at quarter and half time there is a 30 second repetitive loop about Mcdonalds that is the audio equivalent of the test pattern. I think the semi professional / volunteer commentator has its charms, but give me the Smithfield Crash ad any day please.

After the halycon broadcasting days of the SANFL, reminiscing about the volunteer radio of Life FM and RPH. A debacle.

Some great comment their Wild Dog.
You nailed it.
Sadly the SANFL just don't get it,over and over.
Eventually you will give up right.
Like all the others have,
not listen not turn up and follow something else.
This broadcast issue is any easy fix
compared to the financial downturn with a possible reduction of pokies revenue for footy junior and senior post election.
Last man out turn off the lights!

Everyone moaned like f$¥k about RPH and to some extent about Life FM.
Crap game callers, crap quality, high diddle diddle, Smithfield crash clangers and the wild man of Borneo, DB and his sausage rolls and guess the name of the player with the ball.

Sure do miss them though warts and all. At least they had a connection to the everyday fan. They were calling what was happening here and now (well for me about 12 seconds behind the now) but if you were out and about or were at another game, or just listening in the garden shed, they brought the SANFL alive and into whatever you were doing. It was real and you could relate to it.

The digital pass doesn’t have that connection for me. Not just because of my crap internet but mainly because it is a catch up type of thing. It’s like match of the day or a replay of the Melbourne Cup on the 10 o’clock News. Even if you don’t know the winner, the kudos just isn’t there.

When North was on the Radio I had a routine. Up at 5:00am, on a Sunday more often than not, write out today’s teams in their likely positions and research the opposition to guess who would likely match up on who. You had to visualise where the ball was during the game, you got to know the opposition as well as you own fringe players, the youngsters given a chance at league level, players coming back from injury an so on.

It was a real connection between the fan and the league. It was live and it was now. Even when your team was losing, you still listened in, in case they made the miracle come back, like North did against Sturt and the Eagles in 2007.

Now I don’t bother getting up at 5:00am anymore. I can watch a scattered Digital Pass game anytime I want, should I have the time and the inclination. I don’t connect with fellow Roosters from around the globe or fans from other clubs like Jimmy, TRB, Jane, Loyalist and many others who all had the same common connection. I don’t connect with the Aussie Roosters who weren’t at the game for whatever reason. I don’t connect with them because they aren’t there anymore. The one thing that brought fans together on this forum and, for me, on the Roost was the Radio. Game day live.

I know there are many other factors that have impacted on the average SANFL fan, but the loss of live Radio coverage and the great job both Life and RPH did in bringing games to the fans, has had a much deeper effect on the fans and their connection to their club and the league as a whole than the powers that be could ever realise.

I hate February / March (at least after the Super Bowl and Adelaide Bite Baseball finish)

Things that you would think would be done pretty quickly during a season seem to take forever over summer.

You can see the destination (Rd 1) but time seems to slow up in getting there, like a bad dream.
