AFL smart replay issue

Today I watched a full quarter by quarter replay of the Port NAB Challenge game but when I went to look up the site again tonight it appears to be behind a pay wall.

Does anyone know what is going on with this? Or does anyone have the right address of the smart replay site? Very confusing.....

    So has the AFL Smart Replay now gone to a paid service?

    Is there any way to watch good quality replays anymore? I noticed there's a Melbourne (3rd party) YouTube channel which has some games but the quality just isn't good enough.

    I went to watch it a few weeks ago and needed to log onto my AFL account, which has never needed to happen before.

    Saw a thread on big footy saying this service has been changed and is no longer free to access.

    More money grabbing by the AFL and Telstra.

    Can't image they will. They probably believe they rely on YOU having foxtel.

    You can get around it by perpetually signing up to the live pass free trial and then canceling before the billing begins if you don't mind the lunacy. For me in just meant that even though I wanted to, I haven't bothered watching any games over the summer so far and as a result neither have my little cousins.  There is plenty of other sporting content available though ...

    The AFL coverage is the only reason I have Foxtel now. Would be great to have an alternative that airs every game in HD, that can be recorded and paused, without the cost of paying for 100 other channels I don't watch.

    Netflix, Stan , Amazon etc..... they are all nibbling away if not devouring Foxtel. Optus took the EPL.

    A matter of time until the AFL takes broadcasting in house and then streams it onto the internet. The only thing that will keep it on Foxtel is if Foxtel is prepared to pay over the odds and then use it as the hook for the bells and whistles subscriptions.

    I wonder what the price would be for a direct pay per view/season if the AFL took it in house. It would have to be less than the $1K per year approx that one pays for Telstra bundle with the AFL

    In a few years perhaps we will think of Foxtel as we now think of video stores.

    If you have telstra mobile you can still access premium replays. Which is at least the last 5 years of replays.

    Pity, I just wanted to watch the Hawthorn game a few more times.

    I saw "AFL" and "smart" in the same phrase and thought I was deluded.

    Im sure they will start streaming properly eventually, (my best guess is probably around 2025) but there is no way they would bring the broadcasting in house, That would take it from a source of income and turn it into an expence! As people move to those online sources Foxtell will continue to falter but the free to air channels will continue to claim the AFL rights for decades to come.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
