Ok will do - but technically it's not "illegal" you still have to pay a subscription and the courts and Australian government have previously stated it is not illegal to circumvent geoblocking.

Agreed. But I don't need to be a test case for the AFL that want to shut down any such discussion. Please respect that.

Nah but I've got an AppleTV so was able to stream from iPad to that. When the cameras still and zoomed in it's ok but panning down the ground was horrific couldn't even see the ball.

What sort of connections were you using?

I'm currently intending to cancel foxtel and buy a digital membership through the club (annoying that it's only mobile/ tablet =/).

Currently the plan is to stream the game to my phone (iPhone 6+) and connect the phone to the tv via a lightning to hdmi adapter, then a traditional hdmi cord. I've tried this set up with youtube and personal videos and the clarity is normally pretty good...

I've got Bigpond Cable Ultimate and stream NFL in the same manner with no issue (wifi to iPad then airplay to ATV.)

The issue isn't connection the issue is resolution - the resolution the AFL Live app produces is finally for phones /tablets but blow it up to watch on a TV and it's an extremely poor quality (for me anyway who is used to HD). They do this on purpose so that people don't do exactly what you want to do, that is ditch Foxtel for an AFL live subscription as it will cost them money at the next rights negotiations.

Having said that you should wait til the NAB Challenge and see if they offer a free trial as they did last year - then you can test it yourself to decide whether to switch. Alternatively you could probably suspend your Foxtel for a month and sign up for a month subscription to test. It may work better for you or the quality downgrade may not be as big of anew issue for you.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
