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

Not yet. But it’s getting easier to get in. 
So i am beginning to make plans

How does the MFC offer compare to WatchAFL $39/ month?

I forget the exact number but it was around $180 for annual overseas membership which includes watchafl.

Just noticed that the international memberships gives access to one home game if you happen to visit during the season - not likely to use it, but nice imagining I could!

Thanks FND

Maybe simply subscribe to AFL then. 
How is the Citroen?

Yes, but do it through the club rather than directly with the AFL to be registered as a Melbourne member and ensure that some of your money finds its way to the Club. You get exactly the same service either way.

The Citroen is going well, thanks. Some minor problems, but they are to be expected with a car that old.

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

May be an Apple app issue? I've renewed mine again this year and no problem with replays back to 2017 on Samsung tablet

Can this be watched with a VPN?

No it cannot be watched with a VPN.  BUT if you tune your VPN to Australia you can watch Games live anyway through KAYO or Channel 7..   I do not understand the merits of the question - sorry

Just checking here for subscribers that:

- people have received their codes

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

To reply to my own question/comment: I never got the voucher to work, but one day when I went online it said I had a valid subscription. It seems that the vouchers didn't work for some users.

Not going to go through this again next year though, will just do WatchAFL directly. Subscribing through the AFL/club has been flakey as all hell for me, and nothing changes from one year to the next.

I have addresses for a number of illegal streams so if anyone wants them send me a private message.

Beats paying Rupert I say!

To clarify this. KAYO and Channel 7 are actively blocking VPNs. A number of the major ones like ExpressVPN, SurfShark will not work. For the tech-minded folks, this is because KAYO runs on AWS (amazon web services) through their CloudFront CDN, which is regularly updated to block VPN traffic originating from their data centers or other major cloud providers. 

The one that always seems to work is Bullet VPN, as they run their servers (I think, but not sure) across multiple private data centers and change the IPs regularly to avoid getting blocked. I used Bullet all summer to watch the cricket on Kayo and never had an issue. You can run Bullet (like most VPNs) either as a browser-based VPN or as an app on your desktop/laptop. 

BUT you can't use Kayo as a mobile app overseas no matter what VPN you have running. The reason is KAYO is smart enough to demand your location be on before being used as an app on your phone, so running the VPN on your phone will not work because the app will also use location as a secondary line of defense. You can't change that either; KAYO won't run without location. It makes me question the legality of that regarding personal privacy, but there is probably a loophole so they get away with it. 

So the solution here is to run BulletVPN (or any other not blocked by KAYO) on your laptop and then use AirPlay or Chromecast to cast to your television to watch whatever it is you want to get around the location tracking issue

Well delivered. I live overseas and sign up for AFL live stream, that way I get everything I need to watch AFL with every game every week, every year going back to 2017. Then there is the web address of "My heart beats true" which brings everything together. oops as well as Demonland...

Okay thanks Kit.  
Do you (or anyone) know if that means I should delete the WatchAFL app, then install it again and re-install the voucher code? 
Would the code work again after being used twice so far (my iPhone plus girlfriends iMac, which replays fine)?    Thanks

I've got it installed on at least 3 (possibly 4 devices) - don't know the limit other than it can only run simultaneously on two.

Reinstall can't hurt

I just paid for the international membership and was wondering when and how people got their voucher? Is the process that you renew a 12 month subscription on the Watchafl website and the code just makes it $0 (given that I already paid the club directly)

I hope I get it before the game!! My fault for leaving it so late, but I thought the voucher would come instantly...


If anyone's having trouble with the code, drop the club a line. It's a BS system in my opinion, and very flakey. My code never worked this year, but I got a message from WatchAFL saying that they were having problems with some codes/members. (presumably not just MFC). In the meantime they'd rolled over my subscription from last year so I'm good to go, but my code never worked. Amongst all that I lost the first 3 weeks of the women's AFL.

After paying through the mfc website I got an email a few hours later with the voucher code. Or actually it had a link that when I clicked on it (already having logged into watchafl) that it automatically subscribed me for the year.

Happy days and the stream worked fine for me all game.

Anyone having problems with WatchAFL app? Was working fine then started dropping out, right about the same time the rubbish frees took over

Hoping someone can advise…

An MFC international membership grants access to watchafl.com. But how does one access it?

Asking for a friend. No I really am asking for a close friend who is a former Demonlander and who now lives overseas.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I got an email once my membership was processed. In the email was instructions for creating an account etc. I would recommend you ask your friend to check their junk inbox as that’s where my email ended up.

Hope this helps.

You've used 'asking for a friend' so much that you have to convince us that you actually are 😝

Thanks SWYL, but he’s not holidaying overseas, he’s actually moved overseas for good.

I’ll definitely pass this on and hopefully it’s a similar situation to yours and therefore it works out for him. Thank you, BDF. 🙂

Edit: Do you remember how much time passed between buying your membership and receiving that email?

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
