I've just got back from 3 weeks OS and thought the watch AFL app / site was pretty good. Live streaming, can view at start mid-live stream, fox footy live etc. Had to pay but not bad value.

I'll look into that but the AFL IT department needs to look at the functionality of their website and their international audio and video streaming of games. The service is erratic and I've never seen a website with so much publicity screaming at you, while I try to get to the football side of things, as is the case with the AFL website. I'm surprised they are not running adds selling kitchen sinks!!!! :spin

Watch AFL is a FOXTEL service, it feeds the foxtel broadcast so you get their ads at the breaks. I don't know where you but I get good quality HD Streaming without any stuttering. Can't really blame the AFL or FOXTEL for the intranet quality in every country in the world.

Correct Baloo, ive had it for about 4 years and this year it changed to Fox so you get a lot of extra fox footy shows which we never got in the past.

TD is absolutely brilliant so id suggest you stop whining and buy an RFC overseas membership if you want it...

Go on a torrent site and download the Granny, and the Prelim and Qualifying Final too (if you want). Then you can watch the finals anytime from your laptop or phone.

Wish I has a dollar for every time I've watched the 3rd quarter against Geelong while travelling to or from work on the train.

Thanks I really have missed the footy ( and the cricket as the rights are with the most expensive satellite tv network here with CAs new Foxtel deal :( ) the last 3 years. Great to finally get reasonable internet here . Loveit here but Yep I leave Australia and we finally come good .

With the way Aust Post is nowadays, you'd be a good chance of getting merchandise before anyone in Australia.

Just tried it for two items at just over $100 and they still wanted to charge me shipping to UK

You have to select shipping options. 2 choices listed, one free, one the costs. Select the free one. I also picked a couple of items and just over $100

Back in Oct I got myself a 2019 GF framed lithograph. After checking out and paying the $40 delivery someone called to tell me the delivery didn't include the frame that would be an extra $200 to Abu Dhabi. I was going to tell them to go take a flying farook but since I was still on a high I said chuck in a signed Konrad book and I'll cover it. In the end everyone was happy. So the above is a great offer. I'll def take a look!
