    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not to permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

I find Watchafl to be the most frustrating service.

The games live are fine, but on replay they edit out all content between quarters and even now trim time after goals.

They now cut as much of the channel 7 coverage as possible, switching back to the Foxtel team in a sad studio nowhere near the game.

Do Foxtel management even watch afl?

I’m going to try the @Hatchmansolution

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

I’ve just had a look in my emails and can’t find it sorry, my first membership payment came out my account at the start of November and I remember I set up WatchAFL in the middle of December, but not sure when the actual email arrived.

Last year when holidaying in Croatia I used Watch AFL app on my phone and it was good for live matches with decent resolution (same as if watching Kayo in Australia).

Thanks No.31, my friend (yes @layzie, my friend, as in, NOT me) was just wondering how to access it. But BritishDemonFan kindly advised.

I think this is relevant to the topic.

Last week,  a Dees tragic on way to Europe on Cunard's Queen Victoria, mid- Indian Ocean, sat back in a lounge on board and watched a live stream of the match.

Would have been a BT Sports feed I expect.

I wish the AFL would publish what it receives for overseas rights. It wont be much but I think we'd be surprised by how little it is. My guess is that they would do a lot better not relying on the foreign cable/streaming companies and upgrading the Watch AFL platform.

At present Watch AFL is afterthought

I never got the email with my code, but emailed the club and received it within 24 hours.

Also I can’t believe the complaints about WatchAFL in here. It comes free with the digital membership, it never lags, it’s good quality and you get all the fox footy programming. I love it.

Very Good point, but the passenger is a demon tragic like all of us in the true sense of the word and has 60 years of following us. Saved every penny for the trip.

It has been the highlight so far  appaarently.

Never been skiing though and drives a beat up holden.

Last year I had a couple of amazing overseas Dees watching experiences:

- I watched Melb v Carlton while on the ferry from Kennacraig to Islay. There were definitely some fellow travellers who were confused by this very excited Aussie in a red and blue beanie.

- I watched the QF in a bar in Berlin with a fellow demonlander and a bunch of other random Aussiules who showed up. The live stream in the bar was terrible, so I played it on WatchAFL on my phone and mirrored the screen to one of the TV's in the bar. A surprisingly effective solution.

 

And yesterday I watched Dees v Brisbane on WatchAFL in my hotel room in LA, as a replay just after the game finished, not knowing any of the events or scores. Watching back all the delays and confusion, wanting to skip forward but not wanting to miss news on what happened or Max's knee, was a bizarre experience.

For the price WatchAFL has to rank as one of the worst platforms in modern sport streaming.

It's almost designed to fail. One has to wonder if it's run by the same people who designed the new VFL competition.

I have been using it for 6 years or so and have literally never had 1 issue. I think its great. Fox footy shows everyday, all live games and replays. No buffer probs. Not sure what else you want?

The site is primarily web based with an app that has not been updated in years. It broadcasts one sport in 720p at a price other streaming services charge for 4k with lots more content. Compared to other single sport streaming services the similar NFL app is less than a third the cost and the formula 1 app is even cheaper

To say it's free with you overseas membership is a misnomer as the club will be paying the provider for your subscription.

In short it's over priced and ten years behind the times.

It has a monopoly in a very small pool so it seems we can expect little more

Well, at least he didn’t have to watch the Lions embarrass us, which was on the cards pre-power outage. 😅

He, my (former-Demonlander) buddy watched our match on a plane to Sri Lanka and wasn’t sure which out of two things was the worst… The Dees losing or no freeze booze on the plane. 😭

How did it go No10? I am away from 6 weeks from Anzac eve in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore? I don't particularly want to pay fro Watch AFL given I am already paying for Kayo.

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.

    CATCH EM ON THE HOP by Meggs

    A sunny Sunday afternoon feast of finals footy awaits at our team’s favourite home ground, Ikon Park.  Great vibes at Princes Park where we remain undefeated from 7 matches and counting. Expect the Dees to come out strongly, sparring and outmuscling the Kangaroos in the middle.  With Paxy back firing and our gun forwards mesmerising, hopefully we catch ‘em on the hop. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have filled ten of the twelve Grand Final spots in AFLW history, and this dominance

    COLD AGGRESSION by Meggs

    “Cold aggression”, Lions star full forward Dakota Davidson called it. Brisbane outmuscled, outran, and ultimately overwhelmed us. They certainly came to play and exorcised their 2022 grand final grudge defeating the Demons in the rematch by 25 points. Stats count and Brisbane won the key ones. Inside 50s 42 to 24, centre clearances 8 to 6, uncontested possessions 133 to 75 and 51 marks to 27. The Lions’ sustained pressure is the kind we usually bring for other teams.   There

    HOME PRIZE by Meggs

    Big stakes this weekend. For the winner, will it be a Dees minor premiership and potential home grand final or will it be a Lion‘s Top Four finish and a double chance?    Huge interest circulates in the how the ladder unfolds over this weekend’s final round of the 2023 home and away season with some 10 teams vying for 8 places.     It’s AFLW Pride Week, a celebration of people from all walks of life coming together, being respected, loved and accepted.

    WICKED WIND by Meggs

    Hang out to your hats. The strong blustery conditions made it extremely difficult for either team to execute footy skills but nonetheless an entertaining match ensured for those brave enough to venture down to Casey Fields on Saturday. Impressive Irish player Aine Tighe was a late withdrawal for Freo. Maddie Gay was also a late change, and she was replaced with 19 year-old Georgia Gall, the 6-foot ex Melbourne Stars BBL cricketer who has been impressing the coaches in scrimmage games.
