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?

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

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
