Hey, just heard the news today that there is a new AFL LIVE coming July 16th. Anyone else as pumped as I am?

    The current version plays live match streaming 4:3 aspect ratio, cutting off the left and right hand side of the picture (dropping the time remaining etc.)

    But replays are full 16:9. So you ask why.

    Answer from Telstra: blame the 'broadcaster'. Presumably Foxtel is doing this to make their product better than the one you get with the AFL Live app. Telstra should tell Fox (and thus partly themselves) to stop playing games or they will lose subscriptions.

    As someone who doesn't want all the extra stuff you pay for with Foxtel, I think the app and its pricing are pretty good.

    But they seem to lose the plot during the Carlton -C Wood match. Screen goes blank for several minutes. Too many users I guess. The app seems fine for MFC matches. So there is some upside being a Demon's fan.

    i get excited about these games every year, since AFL 1999 came out.
    They are always so so so so bad, and full of bugs and i get disappointed.
    Rinse, and then repeat.
    Would love EA to take hold of one and do something with it.
    *sigh*

    Have always thought EA would be a great fit (especially with potential world exposure and how they consistently deliver the goods on all sports) but the AFL will never go for it. They make heaps more money from getting local virtually unknown companies to make the games and that's why there has never been an above average AFL game.

    My personal preference would be Rockstar though it'd be highly unlikely. But that would be the best company to make an AFL game.

    As bad as the AFL games are I still play the hell out of them, it's the only chance I get to see Melbourne winning a premiership and it's a bit of fun getting Clark a Coleman, Jones a Brownlow and Trengove a Norm Smith.

    Ahah why I like the suggestion of Rockstar making the game, it would end up being a game where players play AFL as we know it, but are also given a weapon each in the style of Battle Royale (and for the not so film/book savvy Demonlanders: Hunger Games).

    Now that would make the game very interesting!

    As a kid I used to love a game called brutal football on PC. If you couldn't win the game by getting the ball in the oppositions goal you could pick up a sword and cut opponents heads off. I'm hoping they include this for the Melbourne team.

    A straight-up sports game with no weapons but hey, maybe you've only heard of them because of GTA.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
