Hey guys,

On Sunday May 27, I'll be missing my first MFC match in Melbourne since round 5 2001 as I'll be in Hong Kong for the weekend.

I feel kind of guilty abandoning the boys in their hour of need, and that I could very well miss our first win for the year. So I ask the well travelled folk of Demonland, whats the best way of keeping track of the live coverage?

- log into Demonland and view the game day thread?

- Listen to the radio coverage?

- Watch the game live through afl.com from an internet cafe or hotel room (is that possible and do you need Broadband)?

For the people that go to the game, enjoy it and hope the boys bring you home their first win for the year (unless we beat West Coast :wacko: )

Help appreciated!!!

**Mods you can move this to general discussion if need be**

    When I was in Hawaii and Thailand I listened to the radio feed on afl.com.au

    If you want "Live", then afl.com.au is the way.

    Thanks for the response guys.

    Pardon my ignorance, but does that mean you literally watch it live like on TV, or Live as in play-by-play in writing?

    The Australian Network (formerly ABC-AsiaPacific) is a cable TV station that operates throughout the APac region and shows 2-3 live AFL games on a weekend. Not sure where you're staying but most of the major hotel chains carry it. Plenty of pubs will also put it on if you ask them around Wanchai or Central (where other ex-pats tend to hang out).

    You can check the schedule at http://australianetwork.com/ although they tend not to put the proposed games up until a week before.

    Good Luck.

    oh yeah, good point Fatty

    I caught a couple of live games on that channel in Thailand as well

    Youd be very lucky if it were a Demons game though

    As an overseas demon, the best bets are:

    1. Matchday live on AFL.com.au. The live audio feed gives you the radio coverage of the game.

    2. Check the pay TV coverage - in Europe, the Eurosport 2 channel has a weekly package, but being in Thailand there may be something better. But even when the Dees run hot, we rarely get any coverage (guess who gets all the TV time??), and at the moment, there is little hope of coverage.

    3. Log into Demonland and 'ology for a wide variety of opinion either during, or just after the game. The result determines the flavor!

    4. Live video feed from AFL.com.au is not possible, and delayed coverage is available to international subscribers or bigpond members in Aust. Not plausible for one weekend.

    5. The time difference is not that great, but keep it in mind for start / finish times for the match.

    6. Don't feel guilty - enjoy yourself and catch up with the scores around your social program!

    Have a good trip!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
