Demon fans traveling in Turkiye. Me and my die hard son. Managed to find a bar in Istanbul to watch the Dees and Maggies. But now heading into more rural areas. Can anyone suggest a way to watch the Carlton dees game on our phone? Would appreciate any help. Go red legs!

 

Watch AFL App. Used it while I was travelling OS this year. It costs. I hope you can find a good internet connection there.

I enjoyed Istanbul heaps, but quickly got tired of everyone and their dog trying to rip me off. 
 
Have a great vacation.

    I think I'm gonna tune in to the SEN fanatic channel to listen to the MFC biased call. I can't stomach listening to Brian or any of the others after last week.  Robbo, Tom Morris and Lily Mithen will be a better experience!

    Because last week we wasted Lever as a lockdown for most of the game. Third tall means Lever can actually do what he does best

    We look a lot better when Tommo plays, and think we have a high Win% with him this year.....

    I really do believe we will win this. Not so confident about the Pf.

    But it feels like the whole world is against us. Not just the Maynard  Incident. 

    But we will coming out breathing fire and jump this mob. Their campaign is finished. They are in for a very rude awakening .

    Here we go, the football supporters week

    Post Loss....We're doomed, our flag was a fluke, Blues will smash us

    Tuesday.....Tomlinson in, Jordan in, Goodwin presser felt upbeat

    Thursday....Back in town Baby, Blues are doomed, we are clearly the better side

    Well at least that's how my week has gone so far :)

    Exactly! We finally found the game through TNT English broadcaster.  A very excited Aussie couple barracking for Melbourne joined us half way through. Just fly in from Egypt.

    According to a Carlton mate, Cripps, Docherty and Curnow are battling the flu.

    I reckon there is a bit of a myth in that.  He has played just 8 games this year.  Subbed out in two (winning games) and we lost two.

    If he plays this week it will because we have no better option but his performance this year (KB aside) hasn't been convincing or finals worthy.

    6w, 2l with Tomlinson in the team. I like him and hope he plays, although it might depend on how we feel about Carlton's decision to go small with their forward line.

    They better not pass it on to us before we take on Brisbane.

    We're 1-2 this year when Tommo plays and either May or Lever is injured.

    We're 5-0 this year when Tommo/Lever/May all play.

    I'm sure we'll eventually lose a game when all these 3 play, but the facts are we haven't lost a game when these three are in the same side since 2020.

    In actual fact, our defence was brilliant in the early rounds of 2021 with Tomlinson taking a key forward each week before his knee reco. Petty took over his role successfully.

    Just to clarify what I read in the last minute regarding Tomlinson & Hibberd:

    We had a team that was winning and playing well with Tomlinson alongside Lever & May.

    We dumped Tomlinson after Richmond, brought him back against Hawthorn, then dumped him again for no reason to play Turner against Sydney. Turner wasn't great, but the team still won.

    We then dumped Turner to play Hibberd against Collingwood. After a slow start Hibberd was okay, but the team lost.

    We are now bringing back Tomlinson to play against Carlton without McKay, even though he didn't play when McKay did play in round 22. 

    The question is why, oh why, would you keep stuffing around with the competition's best defence at this stage of the season?

    Look I think it's mainly to gaslight you - and it's working, you've never posted anything remotely positive.

    Yep, I've done the full swing in mood. Feeling like if we can take out Carlton we're better than 50/50 for the flag.

    That's partly because I think Carlton are actually in the very top level at this stage of their momentum, and partly because if we manage to get our forward issues worked out enough to get past Carlton, then we'll have a plan in place for dealing with the rest.

    False alarm I just found out. His source was having a joke with him to lighten up the mood in their group chat. Seems they are nervous at Ikon.

    I love Hibberd but it's clear to me we are just better overhead and even at ground level with Tomlinson. Hibberd is the smarter player and better run-with player but if we're to win on Friday then Tomlinson will be better for the run ahead of battling Elsa and Porpois Spit in the Lions forward line.

    Grundy in?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
