Damage has/is being done to the competition and as a few have noted, they are attempting to "staunch the bleeding" by marketing to the current supporter base. This stance clearly excludes those that were sitting on the fence, or were semi-interested, as Booney and others have noted. It will not win any new supporters. It makes me think of an old fat smoker going in for lung surgery every year or so, yet refuses to address the causes for the surgery, which would be to give up smoking and stop eating so much crap.
The fact that so many are accepting this proposition with such credibility is a sign of the doom we are beginning to accept. The longer we accomodate the Crows and Power reserves in what was a glorious, passionate comp the year before talk of their entry arose, the more these type of emergency surgies we are going to look at with such credulity.
Personally I would prefer the radio and things as they were last year to this proposition. I took out club memberships when I lived in Japan, and don't need extra incentive to take them out now I live in Australia. Having replays of the games will be nice, but not at the cost of radio coverage IMO.
Anyway, that's my view. This is a solution tailored to an old man with lung cancer who refuses to give up the gaffs. Without that cancer inducing habit, we could be realistically looking to recruit NEW fans, rather than pandering to an aging niche.

They then got Jake Parkinson on. I took from what he is saying that they will be providing, free of charge, an audio only stream, and they believe they have tested it and have reduced the delay to only 2 seconds. I don't believe I've heard an online stream get close to this, but look forward to seeing for myself on Friday night and will reserve judgement.
