Today I received my complimentary subscription to Watch AFL as an overseas MFC member (for those who aren’t aware, this is a fantastic subscription service that allows you to watch every game live and in replay, including the GF, but it only works outside Australia. 
 

Does anyone know what resolution it streams at?  I’ve been wondering for a few years now and can’t seem to find any info on their website.
 

I’ve bought myself a new Apple TV 4K as a Christmas present and hoping it goes up to this resolution, although for some reason I doubt it does.  
 

Merry Christmas all 🎄 

 

Im pretty sure its 1080p or 720p. 

But I think they've just added a new 'download' link to the seasons' games?  Id do it before the season 2022 rolls over because you cant watch games from previous years. ( Maybe its been there all along. )

That’s how I watch all the games. It’s brilliant (unless you download and watch off-line, when the resolution is poor). You’ll get access to all of the games from recent seasons. And all the Fox Footy shows like On The Couch and AFL 360.

Not so for my membership. I have been able to watch the previous two or three seasons. I haven’t updated the login for 2022 yet, but I expect the same to apply.

Dang NOW they do this!? I've just returned to Australia and would've loved this deal!


Oh nice, I never knew this existed! (the MFC overseas memberhip that is)

It seems to be cheaper to get the membership with the complementary pass than going via the 12 month Watch AFL subscription

I wonder how much of this goes to the club?

Oh....sorry to break it to you but I've been doing this for a few years now.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's determined by your internet speed (if in Auto mode), or limited by it if in manual mode.

Yes it can.  (as of 2020, they might have cracked down recently), but if you're in Oz you might as well get Kayo

On the iPad and iPhone version I can watch all games back to 2017, but on the Apple TV it only has last year and this year. 
 

I did a bit more internet sleuthing prompted by the comments above and found this on the website:


For the best quality streaming on the Watch AFL platform, you'll need a strong, consistent connection of at least 7.5Mbps. 


And according to this summary of Mbps streaming rates, a 7.5 Mbps requirement would seem to imply a HD resolution of 1080p:

I suspect that the club must get a pretty significant discount on the RRP for Watch AFL subscription, as they must also for tickets that they include as part of their membership packages that include admission to home and/or away games at the G. 
 

I hadn’t noticed this before, but I see there’s an $80 membership that basically gets you nothing but registration on the membership roll. I wonder if that amount is indicative of what a club would make across all membership options once the benefits are accounted for.

I too was unaware of this and am grateful for it being pointed out, (yet another benefit of Demonland.) A membership and a useful saving. Definitely a win-win.

Have tried Kayo

it’s Rubbish

There has to be an alternative

Well I guess WatchAFL would be cheaper and it's basically Foxfooty on demand.  I definitely watched it using a VPN (set to a USA location) from Australia last year - no idea about this year.  Also used it from overseas for years prior to 2020.

Assume your problem with Kayo is the replays which are condensed. I doubt WatchAFL is much different as the source of the replays is probably the same.

The live streams on Kayo are quite good in HD. They might add a 4k premium sub in future years. More likely if Foxtel is sold as has been mentioned by NewsCorp.

Just checking here for subscribers that:

- people have received their codes

- the codes work (!). Got mine yesterday, but showing "voucher not valid".

  • 1 month later...

I expect that I'll be in and out of Australia for the course of the upcoming season, though unlikely much in Melbourne bar maybe one or two matches at most. Previously had the membership-linked Watch AFL when living overseas, and am currently subscribed to Kayo while here. is there some solution where I can have constant access without forking out for both? Ideally while channelling money to the club rather than Rupert?

Hi FD.    Since installing my 2022 voucher on my iPhone I've NOT been able to watch any pre 2022 replays.  Frustrating with no footy to watch for months. 
Crazy thing is, older replays have worked on my girlfriends computer (though I don't watch footy at her place)!?  
Would love to get pre 2022 replays on iPhone though.   Cheers

Use a VPN whilst in Australia (dialed in to the Country where the subscription was joined)

 

How much is OS MFC membership?

I paid for the cheap joint MCC- MFC membership. 
Now in SE Asia. 
How does the MFC offer compare to WatchAFL $39/ month?

Cheers SWYL. Are you in Thailand at the moment? I'll be passing through soon if you fancy a catch-up?

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
