Any AFL fans...

Where do you go to see your team? I've been to:

The Office (sukhumvit soi 33)

Bus Stop (sukhumvit soi 4)

The Office is good but a little unreliable as it sometimes plays rugby instead and Bus Stop is not that good as it's uncomfortable and hard to hear.

Any better recommendations?

There's an Aussie bar in Suk soi7/1 sponsored by *puke* Fosters that has one <deleted>-off big screen and the owner Rob promises to have the AFL on.

Also does complimentary barbys too.

Only problem is the place is full of Australians. :o

I don't work or live in Bangkok anymore so my suggestions may be a little out of date.

Have you tried Blue BBQ Bar, just off Suk Soi 33? I knew the former owner Brad, and I believe that the bar has attempted to retain it's predominantly Australian clientele.

Brad now owns the Lookie Lookie Bar (in the same sub-soi), but I don't know if he has any AFL footy TV feeds.

Give them a try... :o

I checked this place out and it's OK. The big screen inside is a little big to sit so close so it looks a bit washed out and pixelated, but they have a small screen outside which works well... Thanks.

Oh and Blue BBQ Bar and Lookie Lookie did not have any AFL playing.

Firstly, you don't need to pay the cash to get those vids, the security they use on that site (afl.com.au) is real primitive and easily bypassed.

Second, you can DL a program called SDP Multimedia to save the stream to your hard drive.

Thirdly, GO BLUESSSSSSS!

Found this link on You Tube some Thai woman knocking the great game of ours.

So where is this place (Chiangmai) full of aussies during an AFL match sounds like the place for me. BBQ a few beers and the AFL heaven in thailand....

Round two is over and the saints are cruising at the moment.

Any places in chiangmai that do this sort of thing? I get the games on TV at home via the Australian network but would be nice to get out to a bar with a lot of other aussies over a few beers and a game. Hard to watch at home with a thai wife who doesn't understand the game and thinks I am crazy sitting outside in front of the TV for 3 hours drinking a lone beer or even listening to it via 3AW radio on the net.

Tribunal faces a busy Tuesday evening, with five cases to be decided.

Four players chose to challenge the penalties offered by the match review panel, while Sydney Swan Brett Kirk had no option of taking an early plea, with his case referred directly to the tribunal.

Kirk has been charged with recklessly making contact with an umpire during the second quarter of the match against Hawthorn.

Essendon’s Adam McPhee will contest a level three offence for striking Scott Thornton of Fremantle, and his existing bad record means he is risking a three-week suspension.

Port Adelaide's Daniel Motlop has neither a good nor bad record but is carrying demerit points, and faces a two-week ban if found guilty for his level-two offence for striking West Coast’s Adam Hunter.

North Melbourne’s Michael Firrito has been charged with a level one striking offence against Western Bulldog Brad Johnson, but will play next week no matter what the tribunal decides, as his demerit points are below the 100 required for suspension.

Brisbane Lion Luke Power has been charged with a first offence for making negligent contact with an umpire, and faces a $2600 fine.

Three players accepted sanctions on Tuesday:

  • Richmond’s Jake King will carry 93.75 demerit points after taking a reprimand for engaging in rough conduct against Geelong’s Steve Johnson
  • Western Bulldog Jason Akermanis has accepted a reprimand and 93.75 points for bumping or making forceful contact from front-on against Kangaroo Scott Thompson
  • Angus Monfries (Essendon) has accepted a $1950 sanction for making negligent contact with an umpire.

11:21 AM Tue 07 April, 2009NICK Dal Santo is making the early running in the AFL Coaches Association Champion Player of the Year, after impressing both St Kilda coach Ross Lyon and Adelaide coach Neil Craig in round two.

Dal Santo won nine votes for his performance in Friday night’s victory at AAMI Stadium. In round one he scooped a maximum 10 votes after St Kilda’s opening win over the Sydney Swans.

Hot on the big Saint’s heels is two-time winner Gary Ablett, whose 29 touches against Richmond at Skilled Stadium won him best-on-ground honours from both coaches.

Matching Ablett’s achievement in round two were ruckmen Josh Fraser (Collingwood) and Sydney Swan Darren Jolly, and Carlton tyro Bryce Gibbs.

Gibbs is fourth overall, after having picked up a further five votes in round one.

In the AFL Coaches Association Champion Player of the Year – the only award voted for by the coaches themselves – coaches vote each week on a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 basis. Coaches vote only on their own matches, but may vote for players on the opposing team.

Past winners of the prestigious award include Gary Ablett Jr (2007-08), Simon Goodwin and Adam Goodes (joint winners in 2006), Barry Hall (2005) and Warren Tredrea (2004).

ST KILDA managed a rare interstate win against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium of Friday night, winning 15.11 (101) to Adelaide's 10.9 (69).

The win was only St Kilda's fifth win at AAMI Stadium in 18 years and also improves the club's poor interstate record, which was at a lowly 28 per cent beofre this match.

Justin Koschitzke followed up his good performance last week with an imposing showing up forward, booting four goals and getting the better of Ben Rutten throughout.

The Saints opened up a 21-point lead midway through the third quarter, but saw the Crows fight back to close the gap to one-point in the last quarter before kicking five goals to seal the victory.

Nick Dal Santo was great for the Saints through the midfield, with 35 possessions, while Sam Fisher was great in defence keeping the Crows to just 10 goals.

While, Adelaide was close to St Kilda for most of the game, they didn't have the firepower up forward despite both Kurt Tippett and Jason Porplyzia kicking three goals apiece.

The Crows managed to get plenty of the ball, largely through handballs but did not have a consistent target inside 50.

Adelaide's night was further soured by another injury setback to forward Trent Hentschel, not taking the field in the second half with a suspected quad strain.

In a game that ebbed and flowed, the Crows kicked the opening goal of the game through Porplyzia, but despite kicking into a significant breeze, the Saints hit back with three quick goals to Nick Riewoldt, Koschitzke and Steven King, as the talls started to dominate for the visitors.

The Saints were applying plenty of pressure around the stoppages, King in particular dominating in the ruck early on, while the midfielders squeezed their Adelaide counterparts.

Despite creating plenty of openings it was Adelaide that notched its second goal against the run of play, Hentschel marking strongly on the goal line and kicking his first goal in the competition for more than two and a half years following his return from a knee injury.

In the shadows of quarter time, the Saints deservedly restored their two goal lead as Koschitzke again outmarked Rutten to slot his second goal.

The Crows raced out of the blocks at the start of the second term, Kurt Tippett kicking a couple of majors, while at the other end, a magnificent last ditch tackle by Graham Johncock on Adam Schneider denied the small-forward a certain goal.

Both sides appeared to be struggling with the wind as numerous kicks missed their targets, but it was the Crows who were starting to settle, showing a greater sense of urgency.

That urgency allowed Ivan Maric to kick the Crows third of the quarter, the home side hitting the front briefly in the second quarter before Leigh Montagna launched a long bomb from outside 50m to take back the lead for the final time.

Montagna, playing in his 100th match, racked up an impressive 18 disposals in the first half and he was again influential in the build-up to Farren Ray's strong mark and goal.

The half time siren denied Stephen Milne the chance to extend the Saints lead as the visitors headed to half time leading by 10 points.

With just 30 seconds on the clock in the third quarter, Jarryn Geary capitalised on an Adelaide mistake to put the Saints further in front.

Bernie Vince kicked a quick reply with a snap from the boundary, but again the Saints kicked two quick goals through Stephen Milne and Michael Gardiner to give them a 21 point lead as the Saints man-on-man strategy started to control the game.

However, the Crows responded with goals to Taylor Walker and a brace from the ever influential Porplyzia, but wasted a guilt-edged chance when Walker hit the post with Porplyzia free.

With a tense final quarter in store the Saints kicked two early behinds, but it was the Crows who slotted the first goal, Tippett hauling down Zac Dawson to close the gap to one-point.

The game was in the balance, but it was the Saints who stood tall, Schneider crumbing and snapping before Koschitzke marked strongly from Riewoldt's errant kick to open the lead to 14 points.

The game was wrapped up when Riewoldt and Goddard kicked goals in time on to put the icing on the cake for the Saints.

Adelaide 2.2 5.3 9.8 10.9 (69)

St Kilda 4.2 6.7 10.7 15.11 (101)

GOALS

Adelaide: Porplyzia 3, Tippett 3, Hentschel, Maric, Vince, Walker

St Kilda: Koschitzke 4, Schneider 2, Riewoldt 2, King, Ray, Montagna, Geary, Milne, Gardiner, Goddard

BEST

Adelaide: Porplyzia, Thompson, Johncock, Tippett, Edwards, Bock, Maric

St Kilda: Koschitzke, Montagna, Fisher, Dal Santo, Baker, Gram, Schneider

C'mon the Saints

Dum game, but bin Saints fan since 1955.

I was odd man out at work.

"Wot ya don't have a team?"

Recalled summun saying, St Kilda still at bottom, so that decided me.

Those were the days of Verdun Howell, Tanka Guy... Darrell Baldock etc.

Only ever been to 1 game, Saints v Bombers at St Kilda cricket ground 1962, I think.

Missus was Essenden fan.
