Melbourne v Western Bulldogs @ Eureka Stadium Ballarat - 14th March, 2015

Featured Replies

I've just joined up to AFL live pass so I can watch todays game. Does anyone know if it can be chromecast to the TV? I assume that I can watch it on my computer and I don't have to have a mobile or tablet to see it.

Thanks for any help.

It's on the MFC website - no need for AFL live pass today.

 

It's a windy day today so expect plenty of skill errors. The ground is notoriously unprotected from the wind so it's certainly going to be a challenge for the players.

@Baghdad Bob and McQueen:

Yeah, the stream's free on the club website today, so no need to sign up. We were airplaying the game last night off an iPhone so I imagine a tablet would be just as easy. We had it in mirror mode and it worked fine.

I'll be playing it off my laptop with a HDMI cable plugged into the tv because I find that easiest.

Other options are to load it through a 'SmartTV' or you can bring it up on a playstation/Xbox if you have one of those.

Edit: just had a look at Chromecast. You'd probably have to bring up the club website on Chrome and play it through there. Shouldn't be too much hassle. I haven't used it, but it looks like it works much the same as Samsung SmartTVs.

Thanks Yoss, I'll give it a go. I'm not great with this sort of thing...

The surface is looking good. I'm in the ground already. If anyone is here early keep an eye out for one of our own umpiring the AFL 9's pre-game entertainment.

It's windy AF too, worse than it was at home. Expect the majority of the play to be on the opposite side to the cameras/grandstand, although if you sit on that side you'll have the sun in your eyes.

Doesn't look like the players are here yet, I managed to sneak down to the rooms but there were only a few trainers down there.


For chromecast users if you have a recent android device (using 4.4 if I remember correctly) you can go into the chromecast app and press 'cast screen' in the menu and you can watch whatever is on your screen.

I've done this the last two weeks and it's watchable, nowhere near hd though.

Since today's game is being streamed online downloading the chromecast add on in chrome on the computer and casting a chrome tab may be better quality, although I'm no expert on this yet

So they've come out and said they are treating today's game as if it was round 1. If certain players consistenly produce simple errors against an undermanned Bulldogs side they need to have their papers stamped.

Last time I saw MFC playing in Ballarat, we had a big win and Norm Smith left at three quarter time..

Grimes and Matt Jones are going to putting lots of footies in the grandstand by the sound of things

Hogan is playing today - just confirmed with one of the staff.

Oh dear, it's started already.

It's at least a 40-50kph wind going straight across the ground, it probably won't favour an end but it's going to make things easy.

Likely side (based on last week)

B: Jetta Dunn Frost

HB: O'Brien Tom Mac Salem

C: M.Jones Viney Cross

HF: Bail Dawes Garlett

F: vandenberg Hogan JKH

Ru: Jamar Tyson N.Jones

Int from: Newton, Gawn, Toumpas, Garland, Grimes, Michie

Subs: Watts (full game next week), McKenzie

Left out: Pedo, B. Stretch, Fitzy (all playing VFL practice game)

Let's not skirt around this. If treating it as a Rd 1 game and looking to win, with the side the Dogs are putting out, we should belt them.

Sorry I will rephrase it for you. I don't care how Grimes plays as long as he speaks well.

Are you actually going to be watching it or are you just wallowing in the misery at home, I have other commitments so can't, so have to rely on the wonderful coverage on here

Exactly, as Tmac alluded to, "we don't have the luxury of taking these games lightly"

We need momentum, 8 day break since travelling west, no excuses anymore.

Alright, I'm set up on the couch, fine Islay scotch at the ready. Let's get this thing started.

Someone call ahead, we're good to go.

I'm on the phone to them now. I'll keep you posted.

Absolutely should smash them.

Great to hear Hogan is playing,.

 

Excellent news.

Start time as scheduled, sorry mate.

But Roosy said to say hi.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
