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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
