Overseas Dees - How are you watching the finals?

For our overseas supporters or those travelling, how do you plan on watching the final?

This thread can be a place to post looking for others to watch the game with, no matter where in the world you are!

 

To kick it off I'll be in Berlin for work, with a conveniently scheduled late flight, meaning I'll be free to watch the game during the day (1250pm local time).

Will any locally based supporters be meeting anywhere to watch it together? Or does anyone know any Berlin AFL haunts that show games so I'm not watching on my laptop in the hotel lobby?

    I’ll still be in Europe as well, but I believe the game starts at 11.50am local/Euro time, not 12.50pm - wouldn’t want you to miss the first half!

    You could try a regular Aussie hangout Belushi's on Rosa Luxemburg Strabe, but there's no guarantee they'll have the game on. You could ring beforehand. 

    Otherwise there are a heap of illegal streams that are very reliable. Send me a message and I can provide the best ones...

    San Francisco Bay Area over here. 

    I'll watch it on the WatchAFL app and cast it to my TV - night games on the Australian East Coast mean 02:00 start times in California

    Like @Hatchman, I use the Watch AFL app.  Specifically the version available on an Apple TV.  Works very well. 

    You receive a subscription with the international MFC membership, which is about the same price as a yearly subscription with watchafl.com.  But you get to support the club for the same price (I assume they get a discount on the subscription price).  You can also buy short-term weekly and final series packages subscriptions on the watchafl website.

    We had a thread on this late last year if you're looking for more info: 

    P.S. I'll be watching from Nairobi on the odd chance there are any Dees fans here. We usually host a small GF party but currently only know of Hawks and North supporters.

    Absolutely correct sorry. I'm currently in Parnu, Estonia, and forgot I'm an hour behind!

    Am in Helsinki for 1st Final, fast streaming net and mad sports friends, Sudan for the Grand Final sadly, will use a diplomat mates house for the fast net there.

    Watch AFL is ok, sometime the sound doesn’t run the same as the picture which can be frustrating.

    I watched Collingwood in Lagos (Portugal), Carlton in Agadir (Morocco) until I literally had to leave four minutes before the end to get a 1pm pre-arranged taxi to the airport (where I was reconciling myself with a loss) and Brisbane in London, all through the Watch AFL app. Fortunately (from a watching perspective, not a lifestyle one), I’ll be back in Melbourne for the Sydney final.

    Flying to Hawaii the Friday night before the GF if we’re in it I’m thinking https://www.watchafl.com.au on iPad will have to be the go if there isn’t some sports Chanel taking the feed .  On at 6pm Hawaii time - be watching from my hotel room.  Maybe cast to tv.

    If you are in Thailand, ABC Overseas show all AFL games on FTA if your lodgings can pick up that channel.

    If in Pattaya, go to Tree Town area and Danny's Sports Bar. Plenty of big screens with cold beer and Danny is a good bloke.

    I learned a lesson in 2017 not to book overseas holidays in September (unluckily it wasn't catastrophic).

    For those of us in the UK it's either Watch AFL or the BT sports channel. There will be plenty of pubs in the cities who will screen it for the games that are on during opening hours. Early kick offs Australian time will be problematic.

    I live in the countryside so I'll be watching from behind the sofa at home until we get ten goals in front.

    I’ll be in Bali and will miss the game live ( by a day) and yes, thank goodness for the ABC coverage

    Watching from the Japans using the WatchAFL app. I hook the PC up to the telly and it's no different from back in Oz.

    I'd get Kayo but the app can detect VPNs apparently. Any Kayo users on here based OS? I'd also like to watch the NRL finals too.

    I'm in Berlin too. I use the watchafl app (I share the costs with a pal in London and never been a problem watching concurrently).

    Would be up for a meetup though, let us know if something pans out.

    I'll be watching, like I always do, with my father in Hamburg on the watchafl.com website cast onto the Tv from my Laptop. Watched the grand final with one of my German mates last year and he loved it!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
