Australia Network is a compilation of all the Australian Networks, with the ABC being the Main Source, so i think the AFL & NRL coverage is safe overseas. It may be a requirement by law-as a service to ex pats. I will ask when i get back home next month.

I think both footy and league are safe as long as they don't kick themselves out of the park, by asking too much money.

There are several pubs downtown and in places like Phuket & Pattaya where they show both codes to pull in the punters.

We have a dish, but it is also on several cable operators.

As long as I see the important matches I'm happy.

Today was one of those...so I'm not!!

But the signs are there now!!

Go Dees!!

I do live overseas. I work in the music biz too - used to be called the "record" biz - so I know what you mean and agree entirely.

Their small minded attitude will open up opportunities for others - eventually.

I wouldn't even mind paying for LIVE streaming - well at least a realistic fee - not this whimpy replay for a stupid price and days after the event.

I do know of another website that finds p2p streams for free but this site would not let me post it.....

I hear what you are saying.I am in Chiang Mai and you used to be able to stream the game through Justin tv, us stream etc but the Thai authorities have even closed them.

I have it on good authority that Austnetwork will not be showing Rugby union or league next year and there will be a glut of AFL.

Whilst I am sure there are many P2P sites where games can be viewed, that doesn't really help the club, or expansion of the game internationally via legitimate sources. Being in the recorded music biz most of my working life, I know the legitimacy & piracy issues very well.

But this thread is about today's game and our fantastic win - could have been better if they hadn't "eased off" in the last 15 minutes...but much better than "easing in to the game", eh ?

Perhaps we should start a thread about the international media coverage, but then again, who'd be interested, except us overseas Demon fans ?

I hope you're right that we will get a "glut" of AFL.

It would be good to have all the other programs like the Footy Show and some of the Pay TV stuff too.

But when you say you have it on "good authority", you make it sound awfully like one of those very frequent Thai Rumors...haha or as we say here 555!
