Hey guys. I had to work on Saturday night so all I got of the game were brief radio updates. I see on afl.com that you can stream replays of the matches but for some reason Saturdays won't load for me. Has anyone successfully streamed a replay (of any game?) or am I just wasting my time here?

Are you using Firefox? It won't work if you are. Try (as painful as it is to say it) internet explorer.

Yeah, I too missed the game :( but have just watched the last quarter on the AFL website. I am on Mac but it played ok if only on low resolution. At times it looked a bit like a dodgy computer game from around 1992!! :D. I might try the rest of the game during the week. I found that at high res it buffered for ever.

I watched the whole game last night through the AFL 'Game Analyser' function on the AFL website.

Even though I saw it live; believe me the TV coverage does not tell the full story; not.

Oh yeah, there are some 'right click' options some might find 'useful' too.

Go Dees - "What was that"?....."A corner,.....we just turned it"!!!! Bring on the good times.

The torrent is available, but i'm not going to give the address (pretty sure it is against site rules). I'm sure if you do some searching you will find it.

So we have torrents now. 'Dem Demons are hittin the big time now!

I have it on Foxtel IQ, would somebody tell me how I could transfer this to a more convienient, perhaps portable form of multi media storage device. Its a storage/logistics issue I have. I'm not a dirty pirate. I can't even swim..

The AFL seriously need to sort their garbage website out. Every time I try to watch hilights it dies about 10 seconds in and restarts. It has always been pants but in 2010 there is just no excuse for it.

Okay, here's the deal for everyone wondering about the AFL website and streaming demons games.

Firefox and/or IE is fine, but what you want to do is stream them from the bigpond TV site, not the AFL site. The way to do this is as follows:

Go to AFL.com.au, then click on "matches", next to "latest video" on the right side of the screen.

Then select the quarter you want and a new window will open and you'll be streaming via Bigpondvideo.

Now, the last thing you need to realize is when there is a heap of traffic, the stream will cut out. So, you need to watch the game when there isn't. Late at night, early morning, or during the week is best. The final piece of the puzzle is that you CAN rip the stream using any traditional method but you will have to do it when there is no traffic or your download will cut out.

Hope that helps. The AFL website is a mess (as is anything Telstra touches) but once you get to know it is very useful.

BTW I have a 20 megabit per second download speed so it might be best to rip it overnight if you don't have a big pipe.

I've tried all of this, and it doesnt make a lick of difference, whether I try to watch it at home (ADSL 2+) or the office. I don't know anything about this stuff, but why cant they do it like on YouTube where you can sit back and wait to download the whole thing, rather than have to put up with "streaming" issues?

The streaming seems stinted. They used to do it quarter by quarter.worked fine.. now.. its to omuch and kills 'puters.

They obvious ly never heard of 'it aint broke dont fix it !!'

Not having Foxtel, I've used the BigPond replay site a fair bit over the past few years & it's been great. Particularly after enduring weeks of floggings it's been good to be able to go back & find a game where we either won or played well. I'm also ADSL2+ and while you'd get the occasional buffering issue, this weeks replay has been ridiculous. Hit the feedback button people & tell them it's stuffed - it usually gets fixed.

The Crows game had the first quarter loaded four times rather than the whole match. They fixed that. Shouldn't happen though - someone has dropped the ball in there this year

I saved it live on My Star. If anyone can tell me how to get it from My Star onto my computer, I'd be ever so grateful, to the point I may be able to get you a copy!!!!!

Well, the whole thing is stuffed, it's not just what has happened recently. It's ridiculous that there are streams and torrents that apparently work perfectly fine, but the AFL can't get it together to provide even a dodgy version. And don't start me on problems for Mac users.

I'd encourage everyone to email the MFC, and get them to complain on our behalf. No point having followers in China if they can't watch the game.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
