TBH i cant see the AFL being one bit concerned about it... They have a product that is second to none as far as popularity and sponsorship goes.

If Foxtel were looking at a complete takover then I would be cautious for the exact reasons you mentioned with rugby league... But this is only a pre-season type format and I guess a knockout series, so it really is only a small venture by Foxtel in terms of what they could actually do.

I can see it possibly gaining some Free to Air interest given the amount of stations available now. Whatever station has no AFL rights could see it as a chance to broadcast domestic football.
