A random question, which i thought i'd ask here rather than start a new thread.

I'll be in Berlin for a few weeks from next week. Does anyone have some ideas about the best way to watch footy overseas (oe ven in Berlin). I checked out the AFL site and it is $12 a week for live games which is ludicrous (how moronic is that in terms of promoting the sport - it should be free!). I have an AFL live pass which enables tablet live viewing and access to replays but i assume i will get geo blocked.

Thanks in advance for ideas.

Reckon these blokes'd know:

Let us know if you find a place. I'll be doing the same over there next month.

Have seen Toumpas put his body on the line a few times over the last month.

Have seen Terlich pick and choose when to go in the past

He goes hard at the agate - only to see it go back over his head. Not much point really.

An interesting/strange bench: I/C: Billy Stretch, Viv Michie, Aidan Riley, Alex Neal-Bullen

Special moment for ANB and Stretch when they go out together (and when they relay the ball down the middle to get ANB his first goal! :rolleyes:)

Let's hope they do better than the previous two best mates to run out on to the ground together for the MFC (Trengove and Tapscott).

I like the changes as the Saints' strength is their midfield and we've brought in basically five mids to help counter this. We still have more than enough quality, on paper, to beat them. Have a good feeling that we will.

That's a pretty hectic question mark to question ratio.

Glad to see Stretch and grimes back. Interested to see what Bullen can do. Gee I hope we can win.

Just another fact. It was a year ago this weekend we beat the bummers in that awesome game. I still like watching that last play where salem kicked the sealer. How we miss him off the half back.

It's Neal-Bullen. 'Neal' is not a middle name. As a person with a double-barrelled surname, that stuff is important. :P I like the rest of the post though.

Fitzy dropped from the 18 into an emergency? ouch. We look pretty undersized now, then again the Saints are too. Could mean Pedo goes back at times, and Watts goes forward. Thinking Stretch should be sub unless he's improved his fitness a lot from last time he was in the team

McDonald will play on Riewoldt and Dunn will take Bruce. Howe and Grimes will probably take those mid size type forwards (Grimes on Membrey for example) and that will have it covered. We've made the mistake before of going in too tall and I think this week we've got the mix just right.

We're actually fortunate that Gilbert and Markworth have relegated Schneider and Sinclair back to the rookie list this week. Scheider's had a really good year, and Sinclair's a good young player.

For the 1st time this year we've got the right balance of talls and smalls in the backline. I'd play Watts at half back and Howe in the forward line again. And thank christ Fitzpatrick's out. A bewildering selection last week.

Whilst I think we've improved the balance of talls in our side, I'm surprised Fitzy has been pulled from the 18. They have Riewoldt, Bruce and Membrey in the side. Membrey's only 188 but to me he'd have been perfect for Dunn to run off. Instead, we have to put Dunn on Bruce, giving up a 5cm height advantage, and who plays on Membrey (without Garland)? Howe's gone forward, so Grimes?

Is the 2nd part 'Koff'?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
