How do you follow footy?

Featured Replies

Posted

Personally I watch every melbourne game plus maybe two more a weekend, check afl website once a day and demonland about 3 times a day.

What websites do you all go to? How many games do you watch a weekend? What are the ways you follow footy?

Purely out of curiosity

 

Usually I watch almost every second of every game slot (if there are two games on at once, I flip from one to the other), but for about six weeks up until the finals this year I didn't watch a second of footy besides the Melbourne games. In the last two weeks, I didn't even watch our games - that's how sick I was of our performances.

I've been away backpacking all season so apart from the first nab cup game I saw before I left the majority of Demon contact I've had has been here on DL. I also check the Dees and AFL apps as well. I bought a subscription to afltv before I left so I could watch any game live or replayed, rarely had internet fast enough to use it and there wasn't many games worth watching....

Really looking forward to next season. Going to get to as many Dees and Casey games as I can, been going through withdrawals.

Ps thanks to all you DL posters and mods. In what has been a crazy year for the Dees and the whole Messendon drugs saga you guys keeping me informed on all the changes, charges and such has been bloody brilliant for someone far away from it all.

Cheers guys!

 

I only have free to air TV so don't get every game, but whenever its on i'm watching the games whether its melbourne or not.

Whenever i get a chance i'm checking the afl or superfooty(Hsun) sights, same goes for demonland.

Get the sun and age at work, watch a lot of games 5+ on here heaps, watch afl360, on the couch, pre games etc on foxtel


Go to every Melbourne game at the G. Generally another game at the G each weekend too, assuming a good fixture is on. Download every Dees away game from aussierul.es and watch as much as I can bear! Watch one or two other games on Tivo, with the laptop open.

In all, I consume far too much footy (and still know stuff all about it!).

I have to say with diminishing enthusiasm over each of the past few years :-(((((

(though always optimistic until preseason starts)

Young and single, clearly. :)

I watch at least one game a week. I always watch the Melbourne game unless I genuinely can't, which is usually only if I'm at work (I work shift work). I will watch the Friday and/or Saturday night games if my wife doesn't feel like doing anything else (i.e. default option if no better offers). I almost never watch non-Melbourne day games as I am usually busy with the kids and family.

 

Watch every game-luckily my blues supporting partner likes footy. Or she's reading/posting on her sites while I watch. Also watch 360 abd OTC.

Even go to watch EDFL games sometimes. Bloody Greenvale knocking off Abers.

Also watch SANFL and WAFL on iview.

I'm an insomniac which gives me a lot of time to watch.

Haven't missed a game in Melbourne for 2 years now, and only a few in the past 6 seasons. Generally watch at least 2 FTA games a week, follow the whole weekend, check scores etc. You know, just because it's on and it's the footy season. Probably have slackened off in my interest for neutral games of late, but I'm still a very obsessive footy person (can remember scores well and know nearly all players)

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
