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.

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

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.

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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
