I'm in Denver, Colorado. Are there any other people in the US?

Not a poster but I use this site to help keep up to date with the Dees. I’m in San Francisco.

Little tip for those wanting the watch afl pass (which is USD150 on its own if you’re in the USA). The Demons international membership includes the watch afl pass and is AUD170 (USD120ish). Save some cash and increase the membership count!

what a wonderful piece of info Gaawn....thanks... I'm sure that will be of interest to many.

Here's the link if any want to look at it on the MFC membership site. (You even get one free admission).

Good that this thread has led to a few more people signing on to Demonland.  This site is a godsend for so many people living away from home, missing that connnection with footy.

Totally agree TPF39. I only wish I knew about this site when I was an expat. Spent about 7 years in the AFL wasteland of the Middle East. The time difference mostly meant you couldn’t watch live, and even if you could the internet was [censored]; the weekends being Friday and Saturday meant Sunday games were out, and the min 48 hour working week didn’t leave much time or energy for replays. But a demon blog site would have been great.

Gratefully back in Aus now.

It was such a good place to live, although on my last trip back it’s gone pretty bobo now. Isn’t Palaiseau on the RER B, if I remember correctly? Easy trip into town.

Yes indeed, the much-maligned RER B.

As for bobo, yes, but I don't know that the 10e has a monopoly on a changing demographic.

This is seriously good info, I always bought a club family membership, I wonder if I can get a pass being overseas?, the membership has always been more of a donation than used. Because paying for watch afl on top of the membership is expensive.

FWIW Rome Italy the last 4 years- hugely enjoyable place to live, places to watch afl as well.

Moving to the ar$e of the earth, Djibouti, this month to follow wife's job, I will probably end up working in Hoediadah, Yemen, on a 4 week rotation, so big changes,  A big fear will be slow internet. 2 years and hopefully our last crappy gig and back to Europe.

Great, I didn’t realize reading Demonland would be so educational!

 Thanks Ethan, I’ll pass your history lesson on to the locals ?

Take care....those places don't exactly sound like the Greek Isles

Thanks I will and it's not, but the scuba diving is 1st class in DJB, swimming with whale sharks next week. 

Reason for going is my partner got a (good) job there. It is 50 to 55 deg in summer Jul/Aug/Sep, utterly miserable, but she is the love of my life and mother to our kid so what to do. 

Security wise it is safe in Djibouti so no stress there. I also bought 200kg + of italian produce ( kilos of walnuts and pine nuts and pasta etc) so I can make pizzas and bread etc which are hard to find. The cheese will require some more logistical expertise but that is in my lane as well.

As for Yemen it is close to her and has good FIFO ratio, and well my life insurance is huge... and we will build a bunker at the port like you wouldn't believe for when those Saudi S.O.B. are bombing everything.

Upside to Yemen is the Houthi hate ISIS and they have all been potted, so hopefully no orange is the new black style jump suit for moi. But yes sad to be leaving Rome.

PS she did organize an awesome TV and internet connection for home so watching footy will still happen.

In New York.  Any other Dees fans in New York?

Also watch every game on WatchAFL (with MFC International membership).

I was living overseas at the end of 2005 and early 2006 and i used to go to extreme lengths for a bit a of WiFi (which wasn't so common then) just to read Demonland and have arguments with Rhino Richards.

Hindsight proved me correct in all of those arguments by the way.

Hi all, i discovered Demonland over the weekend and immediately signed up.

I live in South West France, near the beautiful Dordogne River. I've been a Melbourne supporter for more than 60 years. I attended the '64 Grand Final and still vividly remember the Gabelich and Crompton goals. I have been an overseas member for four years and watch every game on watchafl.

The Dordogne is a cool place, visited it a few times when holiday.  Welcome to demonland.

Really? That's a great tip. Thanks! I bought the armchair membership and the watch aft pass last year.

Do you reckon the  'International Member' 'Global Pass'  would work for Aus local internet ?

it would require a vpn .. but why not go with Kayo. Assuming a seven month season at $25 a month that is $175 and you get all the rest of the sport as well

I thought I might be able to get footy live, and add my membership to the club, with the same hit.

I am 3 hrs drive from the city.   Or 1 hrs drive and 2 Hrs train... one way.

I 'fly' naked,  free to air.  

 

But would pay  (for free pass to my TV, and membership combo).   AFL live stream to PC to TV, and brownlow, national draft, etc.

 

Otherwise I just stay as I am, and stay free to air....  until that totally dries up in the TV networks drought on free to air...  Bleeding it not so slowly dry by 1000  cuts,  one at a time.

 

Shame corporate's, shame.

5G is a hungry beast... it will not only kill off free to air... but will no doubt bring other greed ideals with it as well.

Thats awesome. Then I'll get my Geelong supporting mate to fix me up for half of the the subscription as we share the log in credentials. 

Therefore a Geelong fanatic is adding to the MFC membership tally without realising. Win/win/win

When I looked at that site (for relative overseas) it wasn't clear to me if  the $170 membership included the watchafl pass or whether you had to pay an extra $125 to get that?  Why is the pass listed separately if not so?

Its 125 for the pass only. 170 with mfc membership 

thanks.  Seemed odd to advertise the 'pass only' option on an MFC site.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
