My sports bar in Hua Hin is proving a bust!

Is that watch afl app any good ? $20 for a week sub. Don't mind the fee but is it any good?

No others in the area BBO?

I was gonna PT it there but am now in the city, gonna catch a ride with a friend, meeting her at Parliament station. I’m with another friend whom I just ran into (Geelong supporter) and neither of us has been up the posh end of the city in decades. So we’re like MaryLou and Billy Bob Joe visiting the big smoke for the day. He’s had several ppl call out “go cats!” and “carna catters!!” etc. All’s I’ve got is a very distinguished elderly gentleman stepping out of the Yves St Laurent shop as we passed, and he says, “well, as long as it’s not a resounding defeat, I believe a loss this evening wouldn’t be the end of the world.” 😂

watchafl app worked well for me when I was OS - obviously better if you can screen mirror onto a decent TV rather than ipad or phone

    Oh no

    the watch afl app is ok. Resolution is 720p. You'll have to watch on phone or computer unless you can stream to your hotel TV.

    Remember to cancel your sub post game as I think it auto renews

    Good luck

    PS I know how you feel. My kayo sub used to work beautifully here in Asia but alas no more

    Do you use a VPN DJ ?

    Yeah Loges, 2 nearby but this is the biggest.

    A pre game summary was shown a few minutes ago, so maybe mamasan is correct and it will be on.

    The internet is good there so, if needs be, I'll watch it on Mac

    WatchAfl is good BBO, but don't wait until the last minute to do it, sometimes it takes awhile to get it to work.

    We usually save our best for other contenders.  Here's hoping that continues tonight.

    There was a Deebrief podcast today with Stafford, he said the players love getting up for the "prize fights". 

    Been buzzing for the past two days waiting for this one, lets [censored] go!

    Think cats will always be the most satisfying team to beat, they are arrogant but it’s earned

    Stanley? Was rumoured earlier in the week.

    Not sure. They acted surprised when they reported.

    Not sure which bar you are at BBO, but I can almost guarantee El Murphys will be showing the game. Good grub too.

    Don't really understand the reason behind geo blocking. If you've paid the subscription you should be able to watch from anywhere.

    P.S. we should take out this gaggle of geriatrics tonight. Dees by a goal or 2

    I’ll be watching from tiny Saint Pompon in the Dordogne (France). It will be my last game while I’m in France. We fly out from Paris on Monday.

    We won the prelim by 83 points. Assuming cats don’t have the flu/gastro tonight, I will say they will show 2-3 goals improvement :-  So Dees by 65 points

    It's not kayo who insist upon it but rather it's the content owners who want to sell the same content in other markets.

    Mind you in the case of AFL the overseas revenue would be miniscule.

    For what it offers the WatchAFL service is very expensive

    If you're based overseas and want WatchAFL a great option is an international digital membership from the club. About $180 I think. Includes WatchAFL and supports the club. Win/Win.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
