Stupid isn't it! Surely it's just because they want to follow Wallace around and see what happens if they loose.

hey guys this leads me to a question. I don't have foxtel and whenever I go to watch some of the game on the internet via the afl website, it never works. Itsalways lagging, buffering, glitching and freezing. Is there any IT guru's out there that can possibly turn those videos into a simple format like youtube? I still haven't seen the melbourne hawthorn game and I particularly want to see Stefan Martins goal in the last quarter but i cant. so frustrating!

I'll watch it on Foxtel then

I think its mainly to do with the fact that its a St Kilda home game. Ordinarily it would have been at TD, which would have been on foxtel anyway.

But yeah its [censored]!

These decisions are made before the season begins. Ten anticipated that Richmond would be doing well at this stage of the season, and that Freo would be a middle of the road team. They would not have expected St Kilda to be doing as well as they are.

Overall, though, none of our interstate matches are televised on free to air in Melbourne (that is, the Port in Adelaide, WC in Perth, St Kilda on the Gold Coast, Brisbane in Brisbane and Sydney in Canberra matches). The only match that's not in Melbourne that can be seen on free to air is the Geelong match. So, in essence, we're rarely on free to air, and when we are, it's almost always a match in Melbourne that the majority of our supporters could go to anyway. Which sucks.

haha completly didnt see this

Buffering ey, sounds like your internet. I go to afl website (gameday) for most games and its fine for me.

i dont know if you have tried.. but BigFooty usually post where the stream is! (if there is a stream)

Either justin.tv or usteam seem to be the most popular

just before the game try this link and usually if a channel is 'live' it will appear..

http://www.justin.tv/search?q=afl

or click on the 'all channels' section on the above link (http://www.justin.tv/search?section=allbroadcasters&q=afl) and you can see which games might be scheduled... if you click that link you can see 'carlton v west coast' is already there.. so once that game is finished the person streaming might change it to the dees game for saturday!

if you havent used the site before it is similar to youtube where you can maximise the video window... some streams are in a higher res which of course means you will need faster internet to run

if that fails.. head to the nearest pub with foxtel!!

Pain the arse trying to watch footy at the pub on a Saturday night.

All my locals are really accomodating of footy, Saturday nights are a nightmare everywhere though, its their biggest night of the week so its fair enough. No idea how I am going to watch it, I assumed it was on free-to-air so I'm bummed about that.

Buffering ey, sounds like your internet. I go to afl website (gameday) for most games and its fine for me.

Nah, it is a very pedantic site. If it doesn't like your setup, world of pain ensues.

- Ensure you have the very latest Flash installed.

- IE seems to have better default viewing success than Firefox.

- There are step-by step solutions on google, will try and find.

- Previous Demonland threads are about on this. Options within may help too.

Edit: bigpond video

Edit: Have a look at 1. What PC/Internet set-up do I need to use BigPond Video? for easy links to updates.

(If you haven't been there already)

Also, I believe video quality is fixed at 1863kbps, so yeah if you don't have adsl2 then buffering will be required.

Let it play 1 second, pause, make a coffee, play.

That sucks.....looks like foxtel will be cranked up again on Saturday with a few beverages.

Freak, here's some choices: -

Sign up for Foxtel. They've got a deal on IQ going right now, incl. free installation. Pay around $70-80 a month after that and watch all the replays you want.

Or, go to your nearest local.

Or better check out the locals who have got it on, then determine which has the biggest screen with the smallest crowd. :D

Or, fly to the Gold Coast.

Or, spend a fortune on installations on upgrades for your computer/hard drive.

Your choice.

PS. I thought from some of your posts you'd seen the Melb v Haw game...

Well nah. I think considering i posted a Casey Scorpions match review from the sunday game in BALLARAT that you would have assumed that I didnt see the game.

Thanks everyone else for the links and options. cheers guys

also means we have to put up with Drayne Pussell and BT(big [censored])

they just want to see Terry Wallet coach his last game

Thanks everyone else for the links and options. cheers guys

Try this: -

I am not sure if these will work, can only really find out about half an hour before the game, but I will post them now because unfortunatley I will not have internet access this weekend.

This often has footy streamed live, but there is no gaurantee that the Dees game will be on, just have to look and hope for a bit of luck.

http://www.atdhe.net/

This is the link that I posted last week, again you have to search for the game from this page and again you need to say a little prayer that it will be there.

www.ustream.tv/channel.footy-net

This is a really good link, but you may need a password to access it, however you can request to view the channel.

possible link for tonights game!! (for people who dont have foxtel like me!)

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=...amp;part=sports

looks like it might have a password and down the page it says code=sirengate

hopefully it works! enjoy!

Hi, can someone let me know when they have found a link/site where they can watch the game. NO FOXTEL :angry:

None of the one's listed above work.
