If you used AFL Live last year and used Airplay to view the match of your TV, watch out.

Without warning in the update to the app they have changed the terms and conditions so that you can't do that anymore. It sort of works, but a lot of the screen is covered by a gray band and some say audio doesn't work. Check out the comments in the iTunes store. There are a lot of angry customers who paid $89 assuming what worked last year would work this year.

Presumably they have done this to protect their other investment, Foxtel.

Several bugs introduced as well, but I guess they will fix those because there is no marketing reason not to.

    If l can't watch the Dees live, then there is no better option than the big screen at the local pub with a counter, a bottle or two of red and a group of Demon mates. I cannot seethe attraction of subscribing to Foxtel when the local pub is happy to pay.

    Whilst 90 dollars a season for just AFL is a better investment the $50 a month for foxtel is at least now somewhat reasonably priced. By the time you've brought the counter meal, bottle of red etc you've spent most of the $50. Now you have to get value for the rest of the year as well so it helps if you like the international cricket, NFL/baseball/NBA and A league they show but it's at least not a horrendous rip off any longer. On the couch and AFL 360 are pretty nice as well, but I'd put the value of them at about 5-10 dollars a month really max.

    start an afl fantasy classic league, fill it by march 2, win an afl live pass for the year. [censored] easy with so many celebs available to add to your league.

    site has been rock solid so far, app the same, and the new match centre feature is unreal. it depresses me to see petracca and alex neal-bullen atop the 'u18s stats' in the stats centre (i have fantasy coach, hence i can see it).

    In my case, I will buy a meal and a bottle of red at the "G" so same cost just different venue/ Also at the pub I don't have to listen to commentary as they generally have League on another screen so have the sound off.

    In 2012 I got the $50 spots Foxtel package, it was pretty good but after 12 month they wanted me to start paying full price for the sports channels so I cancelled it and got afl live for my iPad and iPhone.

    Best $90 any afl lover can spend!! every game live and replyed by demand, even if its on a small screen I still get to watch the action.

    Get Apple TV and stream it from your iPad to your tv.

    There are other ways to do it with cables but Apple TV is wireless and simple.

    I haven't had any problems.

    Just update the software on your tv as well.

    I do apologise for not reading the OP in it's entirety. What would I do without you Sue?

    ET old chum, I wasn't asking for an apology, just wondering if you had read it. Remember my ? and that read and read mean slightly different things depending on how you pronounce them....

    I'm pretty sure I have the latest software updates.

    So are you getting it to work using AppleTV with airplay? Doesn't seem possible according to Telstra, nor the many complaints in the iTunes reviews:

    The Ts and Cs do not permit AirPlay:

    "Airplay: Airplay Mirroring and any form of external video output of streamed content is not permitted and is not provided as part of any AFL Live Pass.

    "Telstra’s agreement with the AFL restricts the display of live match videos to the current screen size. Match highlights and match replays are available for viewing in full screen size."

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
