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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
