The AFL app is not streaming video whilst I am out of the country ( the other stuff shows, and past videos run).  Any tips on how I can watch or listen to our game over the internet?  I'm up the back of a channel island with no Sky tv, but great internet.  Don't want to miss the game.

Any advice, tips or directions greatly appreciated!  Go Dees.

You can listen to the game while overeseas by going to the AFL website on your phone or laptop (not via the app).

You then go to match day ... click on your game and you will see a "Listen live" button. Click on it and the stations come up.

If you do not already have a media player on your phone you will need to download one. I use VLC which seems to work

Hello Buck.  The "watchafl" thing is working fine here in Los Angeles. I'm watching Brisbane now (Stef Martin is killing atm) and watching the Saints/WC game. 

I'm not sure it's an actual "App" though because I don't open an app to use it, i just go to the "watchafl..." site on my browser and select the game to stream through the browser. 

  (Happy to try to answer any questions, but will sleep soon , its 3:18 AM here now)

Good luck.

There is an App as well if you want to watch on phone or tablet: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/watch-afl/id1192125380?mt=8

Do you have Foxtel GO?

It works from overseas if you sit yourself behind a VPN connected to an Australian server.

 

I haven't been able to get this to work on my iPad or iPhone, suspect it's an Apple thing. But I have got it working on my laptop.

In the end I streamed the audio from the website.  I think for three quarters I'm glad I didn't pay to watch...  Back home in time for the next game, but at least all the advice here will be great for when I go next time...  thanks everyone.

Has anyone used ExpressVPN? I'm off to Canada on Thursday and am planning on giving it a go... first 7 days are free and they have a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied. $20 per month.

Might be worth trying the browser Opera before forking out for one if it's just for WatchAFL. It has a free built-in VPN, though I'm not sure if they have end points in Australia

That's available for iPad? I want it for Foxtel Go.

They do have a browser on iOS, not sure if it has the VPN functionality though.

Thanks...I guess I'll try ExpressVPN for the cats game using the 7 day free trial, and if it works well, fork out the $20 bucks for the freo game. As the tigers game is on at the same time we're flying back, I'll then avail myself of the 30 day money back guarantee and get my son at home to record the tigers game on the fox box.

I use express vpn and watch through my aus Telstra account on the afl app. I'm in china and it has the occasional buffering but is watchable. Pm me and I can give you an express vpn code so we both get some free months for referral.

I find trying to use watchafl.com.au super frustrating, I have good internet, but if I try and watch something live, it buffers endlessly. playback of finished games and shows works fine however. The only exception is if I log on to watch the game before it starts and get it from the start of the stream then it will work but this is not ideal. if the 2y.o. grabs the remote and stops it etc, I'm cooked and have to wait to the end and start over, as happened with the saints game. Haven't got around to writing a complaint yet 

note: this is on a brand new hi end Samsung telly with latest OS

I'm currently in Montreal and used ExpressVPN in conjunction with Foxtel Go on my iPad to watch the Swans v Pies game live and it worked a treat.

Yep I use it and it's great. Super easy to use.

Per my earlier post, I use that so that I can watch Foxtel GO from overseas

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
