So, despite there only being one game on Sunday, it is not on FTA:

Words fail me.

They have a set amount per week, and because of the Thursday night *ahem* blockbuster there's no Sunday broadcast...

Hopefully remedied next year, farcical that the Bombers would be given night games at all this year.

I'm guessing that the schedule was agreed before the axe fell?

Yeah, the fixture was released before the penalties were handed down, but given what was likely to happen was no surprise and given the Bombers finished 15th last year, it just another example of how the rich get richer.

What does it matter. Real fans go. Fair weather fans all  those who if you can't be bothered to brave the cold and get off their couch!

Sorry couldn't help myself. A preemptive joke to protect against posters who like to post something similar - but not as a joke.

Can you stream to PC via crown or only via phones and tablets?

Surely not?

Please please please please tell me this is not a thing.

 

I'm a telstra customer and can stream all our games for free - I actually stream it to my Iphone and then mirror it to the TV through my Apple TV.  It's not perfect clarity but it's certainly watchable.

And it's unmetred so no download hit.

 

Does anyone know if google chromecast works for the AFL live app? It's not supposed to but i thought i saw someone post that it does actually work

Live in Adelaide on 7.  It's a disgrace really, the only reason I have Foxtel.

Yes and no, you can download the chromecast app (it might be installed on androd devices at purchase i cant remember) and do a cast of the whole screen noting that any popup notifications or whatever will also be displayed on the cast, that may or may not matter to you but I usually put the phone in do not disturb mode for the game. The afl app does not support casting directly which is unfortunate. But if they made it easy nobody would pay for foxtel

It's no longer unmetered so use your home Internet connection where possible. The stream works with wireless enabled these days. 

The AFL app doesn't work with Chromecast natively (there's no built in support), however if you have a newer phone you can cast your entire screen onto the TV by using features built-into Android.

None of the Sunday games in the bye round have been on FTA.

Oh good, so the AFL sticks it to footy fans 3 weeks in a row instead of just the once.

This organisation really does [censored] me off.

SO what. Its supposed to be about rewarding performance. Carlton got 6 night games last year. Collingwood has won 5 out of 20 games. The EFC are pernnial losers and yet all get nightgames. Its all bulldust.

Yes, but we know it is not in reality.

I have an android TV now so I just mirror my phone to it and it works, as mentioned quality is not great but watchable enough.

 

Before I changed TVs I was able to use the mirror screen from my phone thru my chromecast and could watch the AFL app fine on my TV.


I just use the chromecast and kick everybody else off the Internet

 

Same last week with the Hawthorn game.

Terrible Thursday night scheduling by the AFL.

Recommend using a VPN and signing up to watchafl.afl.com.au

$24 a month I think for every game.

That's a lot more expensive than an AFL Live Pass.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
