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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
