Toumpas Trophy is on the line.

As for these three clubs, well it's going to be an exercise in fitness and endurance especially if the weather is hot. I dare say we will perhaps be resting some players or giving them a very brief run? Petracca, Trengrove, Frost?

Does anyone know if you can watch NAB Cup games from overseas? Is it the same as regular home & away games?

I assume the Craigieburn game won't be shown, but what about the Saints game?

I know I'm clutching at straws and should just come to terms with the fact that I will be missing half the season.

Streaming through the AFL's international provider:

I have a yearly subscription that's part of my MFC membership, but from memory, the NAB cup games are streamed free. If not, you can do a subscription per match, or by month (or something similar).

No reason to not have the best of both worlds on your travels. Be aware though, that if you're in Europe, it can make for some horrendously early starts ... or very late nights.

This has been the case for the past few years...can't see why it would be any different in 2016.

Either way, Jaded, if you're missing half the season it's definitely worth investing in an account, which would include the NAB Cup.

Thanks.

I will definitely be subscribing. I looked at doing it as part of my membership, but as I'll only be missing 3 months it was cheaper to pay as I go, rather than for the whole year. Given I've spent $600 on a membership I won't use for half a season, I figured I had done my bit already.

And yes I am aware of the late nights and early mornings sacrifices that I'll need to make in order to watch the games. I'll be on a 4 months trip, so it's not like I'll be rushing off anywhere. Definitely worth it. Just hope the internet is good everywhere I go, especially in Scandinavia.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
