Ye Gods, the racists, the "the award means nothing" replies and people suggesting other players who deserve the award more than Goodes. I am surprised that Bay 13 is actually being better than the main forum about this.

EDIT: Oops, just found the Bay 13 thread. Oh dear :(

That's a real coincidence, since I can't think of many other dual brownlow medallist, premiership winning captain and 300 game players in the AFL who are indigenous. Weird, that.

If that is the criteria there are going to be a lot of Australians of the year.

Not me though. I like Eddie. Apart from that dumb thing he said about Adam Goodes and King Kong. That seemed like a poor life choice to me.

I don't think very many people respect him on a personal level (they probably respect his power more than anything) outside of Collingwood circles. Personally I haven't seen much by way of him acting like anything other than an entitled rich prick. I also wonder why he always looks like he's just been in a heated argument or having an aneurysm.

Did Goodes win it for a specific reason or something? I thought they tended to give it to charity makers and things like that.

I've got a friend who works at Triple M, she's not from Melbourne and doesn't give two shits about footy, and she couldn't speak more highly about Eddie. Treats everyone with respect etc. Just has this media persona that rubs some raw I guess.

Fair enough.

More importantly, does anyone know much about the streaming options this year? Is it still limited to their phone apps?

Also, did last years phone apps work on tablets, particularly tablets attached to tvs?

Last year I used iPad streaming + airplay onto a 42' and it was ~just~ watchable. I think $50/month for foxtel play + fox footy would be the best bet at this point

If I recall three successive cricket captains won it but for some reason they stopped that with Ricky Ponting :v:

(In Steve Waugh's case he actually did a bit of charity work in India alongside the cricket so it sits a bit better with me.)

I tried it with a 2Mb/s connection, and it was awful at any quality level. Don't buy it. You're better off using the suggested method or other streams. I can stream NHL gamecenter live at max quality with no buffering or anything for what it's worth. There's probably some Telstra trickery bullshit going on considering it's operated for bigpond.

ESPN is flying out Vlad and some other AFL top level execs to the Superbowl and Gatorade, taking over drinks rights, have flown Gablett and Pendlebury over. If ESPN took over AFL coverage, we'd actually get HD poo poo.
