They've covered up so many things, it's such a habit that they've accidentally covered up coverage of round 1

You could be right my friend ..... it is weird .... same thing happened a few weeks back with a JLT match and then miraculously it worked for the next JLT match

Will keep trying.... luckily the MFC match on Saturday is on the local cable

    I can't even get the AFL homepage going.

    How much is Gil getting paid again?

    yep... the site has been down since the start of the game......... amazing in the internet age ... perhaps a few less dollars of salary and some server back ups might be in order

    The least they could do would be to allow the radio stations to broadcast directly... amateur !!!

    They have delusions that they will [censored] off the TV stations and broadcast the comp themselves.

    Good luck with that as long as they have Telstra running things for them.

    It's all a ploy, make the app shithouse reduce the screen size get people sick of it to the point they get foxtel, hell it worked on me

    There's a free month trial with Foxtel Play, you sign up then immediately cancel your subscription so you don't get charged in a month's time and then you still have it til the contract ends. 

    Hopefully it's still available next month and we'll sign up again using my girlfriend's details. We have a Telstra TV box and it's streamed in HD, pretty happy thus far

    The app just keeps stopping, then buffering on and on. Pathetic.

    They finally managed to put in chromecast detection in the AFL Live App.

    We can no longer use the third party chromecast/home app to fling our AFL Live App video stream to a TV.

    The single legitimate method of watching all Melbourne games on a screen larger than my hand is now Foxtel. I will not purchase it, as it's far too expensive for 2 hours of TV for 8 months a year.

    I will now investigate 'other' methods of watching videos.

    Yo ho ho me hearties.

    [censored] you AFL. You made me do this.

    Are you saying this happened in the latest update which appeared just a couple of days ago?  ( If so, I'll have to ensure I keep using the older version.)

    the replays also seem to have disappeared from Youtube

    As a club that rarely features on free to air, the lack of an easy inexpensive way to access proper coverage is worrying for development of both our supporter and sponsor base

    Some recommendations for people.

    1. Sign up to GetFlix

    2. Using your computer, Chromecast, Apple TV, or PS4/Xbox One, change the DNS setting to the one closest to your city (http://www.getflix.com.au/setup/dns-servers)

    If you need help changing DNS let me know.

    3. Visit watchafl.com.au and sign up.

    5. Profit.

    Damn, just loaded up the game and yup, they've blocked it for Chromecast.

    The app is now totally useless.  Cancelling subscription.

    Can someone tell me, do they still do "listen live" ie radio links?

    Searched and searched today on the live app and couldn't locate it

    PS iPhone app

    Surprisingly seems to happen when there is a tight passage of play, eg. when there's a shot on goal. AFL at their tightest.

    Last couple of years I've always sought after the replays on youtube during the week- where TF are they?

    Thanks Praha, although this involves purchasing an international AFL subscription, and I am now disinterested in giving them money.

    Instead of working on ways to make the app work properly as it should. Bugs aplenty on the ipad.  The AFL seems to be only working on ways to making it less acccessable first.

    Stealing cable seems like the sensible option.

    the live radio is only available on the AFL website .... no longer on the app

    The radio stations should be complaining as they pay for the broadcast rights and internet streaming is now a very common way to listen.

    For substantial periods it was like watching the match through a metre of water.    I don't know if it's the AFL or Telstra's fault, but the AFL is doing itself no favours by selling such a shoddy product.

    Not true. I listened to the radio off the app yesterday

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
