Am about to go to Europe for 2 months. Beautiful timing just as the team is clicking into gear but what can you do. Fully realising this is a long shot, but does anyone know of places/ex-pat pubs to watch the footy in say London, Paris or Berlin? 2 months without at least a small fix will be tough.

    I'm currently living in the uk, and might have to stay here if the dees keep this form going. The biggest problem you'll have is the time difference. It's almost impossible to find a pub or such that will be open at 3 or 5 in the morning to watch the games live. Espn show 4 or 5 games a week live but you would need to have access to sky at the early hours of the morning to tune in. Perhaps a hotel or the like. I have been taking advantage of live streams on the net after finishing working in a bar until i get sky installed, and while it is often frustrating, if you get a good stream its great. The afl also has a system where you pay 4 pounds per game and you can watch it in high quality on the net. Quite often you will get replays on sky and its shown in pubs. Especially now the english football season is coming to an end.

    London has a few pubs in the clapham/putney/shephards bush areas that play them. Walkabout pubs often show them too (but the pubs are shite). Otherwise you can watch online.

    Eurosport 2 (in Europe at least, not sure about the UK), has a 1 hour highlights package that runs from Tuesday afternoon (of the previous week), plus they have the Friday night game live (on Friday morning/afternoon). Though also other games it seems, for example, Anzac day Maggies/Bombers this week.

    Also, look round the net, I think even the AFL are offering some kind of streaming for around $6 a game.

    Take your PC and watch each match online together with commentary on "demonland"

    The 3 Kings in Fulham used to play a lot of AFL games as will any Walkabout (shudder), the one in Shepherd's Bush is your best bet cos I hear a few have closed down.

    You can usually catch games at random times on Sky Sports, but they'll be replayed at reasonable times in the Aussie pubs

    In Germany the best place to ask is the Toytown forums (http://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/), but your chances of seeing anything other than the GF are pretty slim (although who knows, the dees' current form?).

    I know they show matches regularly (but probably not live) at Cafe Oz in Paris (http://www.cafe-oz.com/) and you've probably got a good chance of seeing one at Crossfields in the heart of Vienna (http://www.crossfield.at/), should you happen to be in the neighbourhood.

    That's all the help I can give you on the continent, I'm afraid.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
