No wonder Murdoch did not want fibre to node NBN

$600m per year is a bargain compared to the the $3B per year price tag of the Premier League - or even the $15B per year for the NFL. Pocket change!

Lol the AFL is only worth $600m per year vs $3 Billion for the Premier League and about $15B per year for the NFL. AFL is CHEAP!

I’m sure it will workout much better than Cricket Australia’s and Seven/Foxtel’s relationship…

Sold out to those of us who use free to air.. you can bet the 3 games per week will always favour the East

That's why your all Coke heads

Watching AFL is a very popular hobby in Australia.

Honest and trustworthy expert trader that made me smile for the very first time in my life, after encountering lot of scams online, I thought it was fake but when I gave it a try I then realise that is real so I won’t keep silent I need everyone to see the joy in me Lisa_Mia_T0.

And what does grassroots football gain? It’s time SANFL and WAFL etc received appropriate funding for the amazing work all the club volunteers do. AFL has ignored them for too long.

I wonder how much the women who cosplay as pro-athletes will steal in the name of equality?
