How do you follow footy?

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.

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)

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
