I’m using the app on my phone, but for some reason, the Watch Live option is not working (it usually does). I’ve tried restarting the app, restarting my phone etc, but still no luck.

EDIT: Problem solved. It’s working from the website, just not from the app for a change.

Sorry meant to say do not use App

Glad you worked it out

What’s the trick to get the AFL stream of this match? I keep pressing the watch live button on the VFL game Casey v Geelong page but nothing happens.

Do use the App go to AFL on line is the only way it works for me

The two most infectious animal mouths on earth... dogs & humans

Been bitten by both 

My fault for being both a Ranger and a Youth Worker 

At different times of course 

I know it’s been tried before but not for long

Play him at CHB for a heap of games at Casey 

What have we got to lose 

It is starting to look like he will never make it as a forward 

And he may gain some confidence 

Talking about Essendon not about Ruckmen

Although I really respect Ryder

I often think that club has a Sheedy Curse just as big if not bigger than the Curse of Norm Smith

Sheedy stayed much too long and his win at all cost attitude poisoned the Club

Which resulted in the need to try to cheat to achieve success

That’s not old

Old is when you remember John Peck and Graeme Arthur

Bowey is over-the-odds but the problem with him winning is the  criteria used for this award. OK, you have to be nominated as a weekly winner during the season which he has been already (and you can't be nominated more than once so that means there will be a pool of 23). I don't know the process employed each week but I'm sure that the whole panel doesn't watch every game played for that week. Regardless, it's just a panel of 'experts' that choose on a 5, 4, 3 , 2, 1 basis for the whole season. It's not done on a cumulative  basis each week so it will be hugely influenced by media coverage, rather than an objective appraisal of the rising star across 22 games. If it was like the Brownlow you would assume Ginnivan has taken a lot of votes off Daicos already this season, giving a lot more chance to Horne-Francis for instance, but it won't work like that. Following is a list of the experts used last year. Do former players really have any special expertise?

Yep I’ve got a whole 4 bucks on him at 15/1

Not holding my breath but believe he deserves it

Skilton was pretty good

Didnt have much to work with 

Think the players loved him

Ditterich gave his all

Crashed and bashed and

led from the front

Northey was my favourite 

Loved his passion 

I was Lucky to start going to games in 62 

So Smithy obviously the best

Beckwith a gentleman and Great of the club

Always feel more confident with McDonald in the side

I know he has had better seasons but it’s his straight shooting on goal and experience that I like

West Coast look like a 2nd division side of the vfa from the seventies. Dreadful.

Sunshine  just before they folded

I had trouble umpiring primary school games while working for the AFL in Southern NSW because of of all the special rules for kids

What must it be like for a young person trying to get involved with umpiring with all the different rules at various levels

Country umpires must hate the new rules continuing to be pushed on them that are so far removed from the game they grew up with

Lewis was a good signing but in my opinion Daniel Cross was better and was probably released a year earlier than he should be. But Jordy was a successful, premiership player who gave us a bit of cred. 

Loved having Cross at Melbourne 

I remember him being really tiny playing Rep under 14 Basketball for Albury

When I was coaching Wodonga 

He was undersized but skillful

I’ll get bagged for this but I’ll say it anyway 

Hated seeing him in a Melbourne Jumper

Oscar doing what Oscar does

No composure as a backman

Should be tried as a fwd back up ruck but won’t happen 

Do remember one preseason no Melbourne or Nth jumpers were available to buy

As manufacturers were aware of a possible merger between the two clubs

No idea what year it was

Hey, people.

I love reading on this site but rarely post anymore. 

I was 13 and I was there. I was too busy bawling my eyes out when Hassa missed that shot at goal that I missed Compton's intervention. Who was Compton's opponent who drew him to the contest? I say it was one of the resting rovers. In those days, they always rested in the forward pocket. I say it was Bone, but I have a mate who insists it was Norman. 😂

Bone I played a bit of footy with his Sons in Wodonga 

Glad someone brought up Jordon Lewis 

He doesn’t get punished enough for 2018

Any comments on D Turner’s game today? He looked good in his first VFL game a while back.

Thought he looked good  seems to be very mature and makes few mistakes 

Played against a lot of ex VFL players in my Bush Career

But the one who worried me the most was the thought of Greg Parke using my back as a step ladder as I filled the gap at CHB as all good ruckman do

Greg was one of my hero’s growing up

So as you do I tried to shirtfront at him first opportunity 

Result Free and Goal to Parky

I was in Vicpol  for 12 years, he was hated by everyone, and universally described as a thug who would whack a bloke in cuffs, and other gutless stuff. Was a shame the toe cutters never managed to charge him. Lucky for him his era was pre camera phone.

He wasn’t popular at all with the blokes he did National Service with either

He was Lucky that Richmond stopped him going to Vietnam

I might be the only one on here happy about this

Im in Darwin that week visiting my son who lives there

After missing out on the Alice Springs game the last two years 

I’m very happy 

The Oval at Rye has always been known as the MCG of the bush

But as it’s a working class Football club how upset would the silvertails at Sorrento be
