    You've picked a good year to be os. I only know of AFL and sportal type services where they give details of what happens, but you're reading it and can't actually see anything.

    Talk to "Before2long"... a member here at demonland...

    He lived there through the ENTIRE 2006 season. If anyone would know how to get by, it'd be him.

    As an overseas demon (have been for the last couple of years...) I would suggest:

    afl.com.au go to gameday live and you can stream the radio for any of the games. You can't just go to MMM, for example, as they play other crud over the internet during the games that they are broadcasting in Melb (or wherever).

    Eurosport2 (often available in hotels all over the world) has a weekly rap up show, that is played 4x per week normally. Typical AFL package of tripe, though.

    You can register (at a fee) for video feeds after the matches on afl.com as well, but this year I haven't bothered...

    Keep in touch with Demonland and demonology, often if you can't stream the game, the folks are kind enough to give you game updates (and their unbiased opinions!!) during the game. SImply logging on 1 hour after the match can tell you the result in about 5 second (look at the topics posted!)

    Also, realfooty.com.au (the age) and www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy are also good for the main footy articles coming through.

    As a member, you should also get your weekly newsletter. I also still get the NSW demons weekly newsletter, which I always enjoy.

    Enjoy yourself!

    i was another one who picked a good year to be OS... i was in california from late september to late june...

    my first game back in melbourne was last friday against Essendon...

    these are your options:

    Radio: www.afl.com.au will provide all available radio streams through it's gameday live feature... all online streaming from broadcasting radio stations will be blocked during the game, so afl.com.au is your only alternative there.

    Video: there are a number of options.

    the first is subscribing as an international subscriber to www.afl.com.au video streaming service. this will give you all games available to stream 12 hours after the bounce of the ball, along with all other video on the afl website. they charge $60 for a 12 month subscription. the problem i've read with this is that this service is primarily designed for bigpond customers in australia, who get this service for free. the international stream can be of quite a poor quality, which pauses alot. i never bought this as i didn't want to pay for a substandard service.

    there are also some television networks which broadcast some afl games in north america. setanta sports is the main one which this season is broadcasting 3 games live a week. there are lots of details of north american afl coverage at www.afana.com

    the other alternative is to download the games via torrent. sites like mininova.org or demonoid.com (if you can get an invite) usually have the games available to download 24-36 hours after the game has finished.

    i couldn't really do any of these because i was living at a university, so i couldn't subscribe to the TV service, couldn't download torrents because they blocked them on the internet they provided, and i didn't want to pay for what i read was a crappy Telstra subscription service. i listened to the odd game, but that was about it... but i'm sure you'll find which option works best for you...

    I just got back from Canada a few months ago and I was very deprived from sports over there.

    I found the best thing to do was just go to the afl website and listen to it live.

    They didnt show anything on tv however there was a bar that played an afl game on monday nights but clearly that is not live but it managed to give me my fix for the week haha.

    So good luck in Canada you will have a ball.

    • 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.

    • 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.
