    What a Rip Off! I was looking forward to this but definitely steering clear of these money hungry pigs.

    I love the AFL, but this is an absolutely rip-off. And I use Supercoach, not Dream Team anyway so that's no-use.

    Just saw this app also out now in the US store but features no in-app purchases (So no subscriptions). Can anyone confirm if for the US buyers it is a one time purchase? If so I will definitely pick it up

    Perv, why do you care?
    Becausevof course everything should be free after one time. Did you're water heat electric cable phone and tv also get turned off bc u believe it should be free. It has videos and up to the minute news that requires more info from paid employees. I see how you could be angry if it was a book or game or song but it's a news app.

    Yeah, if the quality of the information and media is worth it, I think $6 is a good deal. It's 20 cents per day, but you're getting videos on demands, live feeds, live stats, news, etc. With games and other apps, it's one payment and the occasional update. This is an app that isn't going to be as nearly as popular but is constantly being filled with new content. Seems like a fair price.

    For a whole season this will cost like $40 or something.

    You can get the MLB or NBA official apps for $9.99 and $14.99. To me they are being greedy, I'd be happier with a high price like that just to see everything that's on the AFL.com.au website.

    Lol. 2 Grand Final losses within 6 months and you think the Saints are going to win? No chance.

    We were just getting experience in what not to do. The plan was always 2010 ;)

    I think the Pies are in with a chance this year. Great to see Darren Jolly and Luke Ball come into the side.
