The all-conquering Melbourne Storm were stomped on by the Penrith Panthers last night after some monster wins. Beware Melbourne!

    Just had a look on Big Footy and Wet Toast supporters are concerned that the rest of the AFL look at their team as tanking. The thought had crossed my mind as some of their selections are surprising.

    I’m in Fiji currently and am considering a weekly sub to WatchAFL to watch it but all the reviews I’ve read bemoan the quality of the stream. Can anyone confirm whether it’s worth it?

    I use WatchAFL to watch every game in the UK and it’s fine for me. Might be more of an internet quality issue than an app issue

    Greetings from near Lismore where it’s still raining. It’s been wet since November. God it’s miserable. Hopefully a light from the west today.

    Hopefully all our Perth brethren can get along to see the boys run around on the hallowed turf of Optus

    Eagles a shambles, we're chugging along nicely

    As much as i'd like to see an Eagles bloodbath, it's not our style

    Dees by 40 points

    Assuming you have a decent internet connection, yes, it’s absolutely worth it.  I’ve been a subscribers for several years.

    *cough* I personally cut out all of the Ts and Es and the K and the exclamation mark, including the dot, which is not really a dot, more the size of a dinner plate. *cough*
    Long cough right there. I needa quit smoking. 😁

    PS. I’ll be driving from Tropea to Matera during game time 😕 
    I’ll watch the match on watchafl.com when I arrive. Go Demons!

    Started work early so I could make the matinee down at John Foord Oval with Corowa taking on Yarrawonga. Despite Corowas improvement (only falling 2 points shirt of Albury, and should have won on expected score) I think Yarra will be to tough an ask.

     

    Leg of lamb on the rotisserie and a fat cuban I'll be round in the forward pocket scoreboard end if anyone's hungry.

    A fat Cuban? Is his name Fidel?

    We’re playing a WAFL side with a couple of super rules players….Melbourne by 150+

    When I was in Fiji in 2017 we were playing Carlton and it was close. The stream was reliable for the whole match except for the last 2 minutes when the game was in the balance and it was a goal the difference. The steam was buffering and the hotel internet went to [censored]. I couldn’t even get the score online for about 5 minutes after the match. 

    Apparently we kicked a goal and won by 8 points. 

    I’d put the blame on Fiji’s internet infrastructure in 2017 rather than WatchAFL.

    Apart from that it was great.

    I had a similar experience in round 13 2014. I was also in Fiji.

    Essendon vs Demons. Game was superclose. My connection came back for 30seconds as I watched the ball move from half back, up to Salem who marked 20meters out. 

    Connection goes down again and I know it's going to take 3 minutes to buffer again but I didn't care. I knew Salem was a good kick and would kick it.

    This is the most weird Gameday thread I’ve ever read …….... I hope it’s not a portent of events at Optus Stadium this evening!

    I can’t see the Eagles challenging our beloved Dees, that is, unless some greater power intervenes with thunder and lightening, or some such ………… but even then, knowing the Dees as we do, I’m sure we would ‘find a way’!

    Another regulation ‘Melbourne’ win coming up, with a margin between 40 and 60 points, I reckon.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
