Same! They used to always hand out flags, we loved it!

 

We still hand out flags! Before the match starts little kids and big kids and even the biggest kids (adults) can come down and ask anyone in the first three rows of M3 and they’ll be given a flag or a banner or even a giant head. Gotta get in early for a giant head though, they’re quite popular. And don’t even THINK of getting giant Riv or giant Ed because unless you’re prepared to prise them outta the cold dead hands of two of our DA gals, you ain’t getting either. Believe me, I’ve tried. 😁

Fellow D'landers.

I am currently overseas and was planning to watch the game via watchAFL.com.au.

However it is a daylight robbery, 24 dollars for one week! (it's basically what I am paying for my monthly Kayo sub).

Isn't there anyway to pay "on demand" (i.e. just for the one game)?

TIA.

What if you gave them 50 bucks?

Same but when I take the kids they want the hot chips etc no matter how many snacks/sandwiches I pack 🤣

I catch the train in that goes past the Springvale market. I get of at Springy and pick up a Vietnamese Pork Belly roll and get back on the train.

At the G I then buy a crappy meat pie (tradition or bad habit) and a beer or two (for the price you pay you sometimes think you are buying shares in the company!)

At half time I eat the roll I bought. I love it!

Absolutely! We have flags of every size, right down to little ones that are perfect for a 3yo to wave. Your boys won’t ever wanna sit anywhere else. 🤗

Incidentally, I did something I’ve always wanted to do on Friday night. When everyone had left the ground post match and it was only DA packing up, I had a go at waving our biggest baddest flag, much to the amusement of our guys who btw make it look easier than it is. I didn’t take anyone’s eye out so I’m chalking that up as a win. 😁

Knowing you WCW, I would of thought the flag was waving you 😁

Can you just download a vpn and connect to an Australian server and then watch via Kayo or the 7+ app?

Unfortunately youll have to suck it up, unless you want to add an overseas membership with the club and then you get "free" access. Ive tried with VPNs before but the geo blocking is pretty good. If you are in the UK its televised.

I am in North America, yeah I just feel I am giving my money twice to Kayo, just for one game! Absolutely pathetic to be honest.

I am always concerned the VPNs won't work. 

Anyways I guess I will have to ponder the next couple of days if I am willing to give the 24 bucks to Kayo/7 Network/AFL

watchAFL should be free for Kayo subscribers - I had the same limitation when in Japan at the start of the season.

Yeah no idea, it's a real doozy though. Might be best to go with WatchAFL or get on a trial for one of the better VPNs.

Nope... welcome to the worst streaming system in Sports.

PS Have someone check the price for you back in Australia. The site uses a geolocator and prices by reference to areas. US price is high in $US (probably haven't updated the exchange rates for years..just like the platform.)

I want my footy, damnit!!!! 

Kat, just last week, you know Skippy, our biggest 40+ year old kid in the DA, he got a footy from Maysie, so don’t give up hope!

PS never seen such a big manly man morph into a 16yo girl so quickly. 😝

You could offer them $500, still ain’t happening. Our diehards are nothing if not committed. It could be said some of us need to be committed but that’s a whole different Dr Phil show.

Yeah, I found that so annoying when I was in Europe earlier in the year. I paid the money in the end (and watched us get rolled by Essendon from sunny Belfast). 

They are literally gauging fans who are away for a couple of weeks.

Join the queue. (Please form an orderly line.) Have you seen what happens when Riv comes anywhere near us during warmup? Remember when One Direction came to Melbourne? It’s that x 1000. 🤣

100 seats have just gone on sale in bay Q32 rows CC-FF, looks like another case of someone forgetting to put them on sale or Collingwood giving back member allocations in the ponsford

How do you know all this stuff?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
