One game on Sunday, not on free to air

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

So, despite there only being one game on Sunday, it is not on FTA:

They have a set amount per week, and because of the Thursday night *ahem* blockbuster there's no Sunday broadcast...

Hopefully remedied next year, farcical that the Bombers would be given night games at all this year.

I'm guessing that the schedule was agreed before the axe fell?

Yeah, the fixture was released before the penalties were handed down, but given what was likely to happen was no surprise and given the Bombers finished 15th last year, it just another example of how the rich get richer.

What does it matter. Real fans go. Fair weather fans all  those who if you can't be bothered to brave the cold and get off their couch!

Sorry couldn't help myself. A preemptive joke to protect against posters who like to post something similar - but not as a joke.

Can you stream to PC via crown or only via phones and tablets?

Surely not?

Please please please please tell me this is not a thing.

Sigh, he's right:

I'm a telstra customer and can stream all our games for free - I actually stream it to my Iphone and then mirror it to the TV through my Apple TV.  It's not perfect clarity but it's certainly watchable.

And it's unmetred so no download hit.

 

Does anyone know if google chromecast works for the AFL live app? It's not supposed to but i thought i saw someone post that it does actually work

Live in Adelaide on 7.  It's a disgrace really, the only reason I have Foxtel.

This is why we need need neutrality.

Yes and no, you can download the chromecast app (it might be installed on androd devices at purchase i cant remember) and do a cast of the whole screen noting that any popup notifications or whatever will also be displayed on the cast, that may or may not matter to you but I usually put the phone in do not disturb mode for the game. The afl app does not support casting directly which is unfortunate. But if they made it easy nobody would pay for foxtel

It's no longer unmetered so use your home Internet connection where possible. The stream works with wireless enabled these days. 

The AFL app doesn't work with Chromecast natively (there's no built in support), however if you have a newer phone you can cast your entire screen onto the TV by using features built-into Android.

None of the Sunday games in the bye round have been on FTA.

Oh good, so the AFL sticks it to footy fans 3 weeks in a row instead of just the once.

This organisation really does [censored] me off.

SO what. Its supposed to be about rewarding performance. Carlton got 6 night games last year. Collingwood has won 5 out of 20 games. The EFC are pernnial losers and yet all get nightgames. Its all bulldust.

Yes, but we know it is not in reality.

I have an android TV now so I just mirror my phone to it and it works, as mentioned quality is not great but watchable enough.

 

Before I changed TVs I was able to use the mirror screen from my phone thru my chromecast and could watch the AFL app fine on my TV.

[binman 37,998]

Thanks for the answers. Seraph, are you sure its no longer unmetred?

[ucanchoose 1,803]

I just use the chromecast and kick everybody else off the Internet

[praha 10,270]

Same last week with the Hawthorn game.

Terrible Thursday night scheduling by the AFL.

Recommend using a VPN and signing up to watchafl.afl.com.au

$24 a month I think for every game.

That's a lot more expensive than an AFL Live Pass.
