This might be the spot to find out where other Demon expats live? Now that we are not crap anymore it might be a good thing to watch a game or two with other supporters who understand the pain and euphoria that Melbourne provides like no other team.  Me Phuket. 

Sa wat dee krup

Not an expat, but my wife still lives in Thailand. Geez Phuket has changed a lot in the last decade...........

I'm in Phatthalung if you know where that is, middle of bf nowhere. Was in Phuket for 9 months a year or so ago, where do you watch the games? Aussie Bar? If I'm over that way around game time I'll hit you up.

Japan in Aichi Prefecture.

I get the AFL pass during the year to watch games. I avoid the ex pat bar in Nagoya as it's like that tavern Obi Wan and Luke went to find Han Solo.

I spent six years in Zambia, DRC and South Africa in the early noughties. 

Back then it was the ‘Toyota AFL highlights’ on DSTV which was essentially two to three weeks delayed telecast of the round/s.

Most of the time, this was preferable over the dial up internet in 3rd wold ‘Efrica’. 

Best thing as to have your own pill on hand and hunt down other Aussie expats who enjoyed a kick.

Hong Kong.

Have a very accommodating local bar that had no idea they had AFL on their cable package until I told them.

Always happy to have it on the big or small screen for us (usually just me and the wife) whilst everyone looks on confused.

I’m in Abu Dhabi and about to move to Dubai. I never miss a match and go to work the Aussies Abroad Grand Final Day every year. Hopefully to watch the dees this year.

I live in a rural part of the north of England. No sports bars here, just village pubs.  I watch games on BT Sports. They do about five a week, and a highlights package. They also cover the Big Bash and Ashes tests. It's not too costly a subscription, especially if you have a BT phone line. I used to use the watch afl service but WiFi here is fairly poor and I got frustrated with constant buffering. If BT are not covering the Melbourne game I listen to the radio coverage. I've always enjoyed that, it takes me back in time.

I had the pleasure of watching a couple of games in Tarporley Cheshire courtesy of watchafl last year. I get what you mean about buffering.

And, if you count illegals, you can probably double that figure!

    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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
