Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

what's wrong with old fashioned radio?  doesn't affect your data quota either

some phones even have a radio built-in (not internet)

Tunein is blocked from AFL Broadcasts

so one has no choice but to use the AFL Live site. 

Why carry a Radio when the iphone is in the pocket. If i am home the 1965 Hitachi Wireless is switched on. 

Sounds great for AM!! :)

the live radio is only available on the AFL website .... no longer on the app

The radio stations should be complaining as they pay for the broadcast rights and internet streaming is now a very common way to listen.

It's there on my Galaxy

click on the chosen game and

at the middle of the bottom of the screen is a green play button. 

Click that and you get through to a list of stations you choose to listen to

sounds even better if you get a modern dab+ radio.....................some phones have a dab+ receiver built-in

or you can stay with the vagaries of afl/telstra who change the quality and rules week by week

Back in Oz now and will be very interested if that little button still shows when I open the app overeseas

Frustrating to see the good quality of the Youtube live stream of the Casey match compared to the crud that the AFL Live Pass serves up much of the time.

jeez, if you thought the casey stream was good quality i'd hate to see the live pass quality

You would indeed.  At times it just gets so fuzzy that you can't see the ball and each player is a coloured blur.  And then it just stops occasionally.  It's not my network connection or home wifi, it's the crud that they serve up.  How they dare charge for it is beyond me.

The app today showing the 2016 season, and unable to find out what is happening in any game except last night's GWS V Doggies game. Continues to be a joke of a product.

Can't get into today's games. Stopped working about 20 minutes ago. On home page has the latest  news from Melbourne. The final game of last season when we were thrashed by Geelong. Unbelievable.

I was using the app last night to check the scores and it appeared to be unstable (not auto refreshing) towards the end of the game.

Just wondering how others are getting on?

On a more general issue I found the YouTube replays that one could find last year to be far superior to what I now get from the app. Does youtube use better buffering or similar.

OK I'm paranid about the AFL and its shennagins. But is anyone else finding the picture quality of the game from China is far better than it usually is? 

So far I've seen no patches when the players become a blur and you can't see the ball.  At a quick glance it doesn't look much worse than a normal TV coverage. What's going on?

The AFL live add is pathetic. Quality is appalling. Stream is shocking and the app keeps crashing.

 

 that's what I usually experience (not the app crashing, just the quality and stalling). But oddly not today from China.  Are you referring to that match or another?

I usually listen without headphones but I listened to the replay of last night's game with a pair of good head phones. The sound and picture were slightly out of synch, You could hear the umpires whistle signalling the mark when the ball was mid air.

Could also hear the bottles being dumped in the trash near the commentary box !!

I can tell you what's wrong with the old fashioned radio in Canberra - there's no effing coverage. Last year we got Friday night, Sat arvo plus all Giants and Swans - this year eff all!!!

Thanks for nothing AFL. Western NSW gets the AFL / Croc media broadcasts all weekend but the nation's capital gets sweet FA of the national game!

There was a great thread last year on internet v Foxtel v FTA as the future sports platforms but I could not find it so I thought I would post here.

The Guardian article below reveals that Amazon (UK version) is now going to offer the Eurosports Channel as an add on it to its TV services. By itself not earth shattering but another blow to the cable channels in this case Sky TV.

The pricing is interesting...

"Amazon will offer the channels at an extra cost to Amazon Prime members, who pay £79 a year or £7.99 a month for on-demand video including exclusive shows such as American Gods, The Grand Tour and Man in the High Castle.

The individual pricing for the new channels ranges from £1.49 to £9.49 a month, with subscribers choosing and paying for individual services, rather than for a bundle as with the traditional pay-TV model used by Sky. Netflix’s standard video on-demand service costs £7.49 a month while Sky’s cheapest package of channels is £22."

On the pick and choose model the article makes the following comment:

“The main challenge Amazon has is that it is offering all of the channels standalone, which is potentially extremely expensive,” said Broughton. “The a la carte model has been tried a few times in the pay-TV market before. Research suggests that people say they want to pick and choose but in practice they prefer buying a big bundle and get ‘all-they-can-eat’ TV. In time, Amazon may look at aggregating some of the channels it is offering into a pay-TV style package.”

Seriously why can't they offer packages AND allow people to pick & chose their own channels?

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
