Would like to watch AFL football this weekend......,

I've just arrived back in CM and haven't had much time to do the legwork required..., I'm really a Dockers supporter(they've obviously shot their bolt), however 2nd favourite team are The Eagles..., so basically..., can anyone 'fair dinkum' in the central CM area tell me if this weekends games will be on the box at UN Irish Pub ?
..., or maybe another congenial establishment where it's possible to have a 'very' cold libation or 2 ?

Yep Stu at the Down Under Pub (River end of Loi Kroh Rd) normally shows all the AFL games, for some reason he's not to keen on Rugby Union. Possibly due to the Wallabies getting spanked all the time...he says the UN Irish can have that patronage.  Might fine of him I thought!

The Downunder Pub is now run by Torry now. The place is big enough to do NRL and AFL as first choice every weekend but not big enough to throw rugby in as well.

There's a few other places that do Rugby as their Number 1 sport anyway so everyone wins.

The AFL is no more, it was merged into the NFL many years ago and there is not and never was a team called the Dockers, those are pants made by Levi Straus.

 

G'day.

Maybe we are talking about different sports then:

 

AFL: Australian Football League (Commonly known as Aussie Rules) or AFL: American Football League

 

in Aussie the also have NRL: National Rugby League.

 

So maybe the AFL/NFL from the OP is the American game (Also known as Grid-Iron?)

 

Not sure if the Down Under Pub screens that!

I'm forming a mental image of what a bunch of guys on a team called "The Dockers" would look like.  Probably early-middle aged, bald spots, a little paunchy, drive mini vans or SUVs with at least one kid's seat installed, own the latest cameras to record their kids' every action -- you know, the male version of Soccer Moms, often called "Hockey Dads."  Dockers are part of their uniform.

Steady on..., my team Fremantle Dockers, may have finished the season down the bottom of the ladder but please don't feel the need to rub it in and 'diss' them for their 'team' song. Watch any game of AFL (Aussie rules) and you'll see what these guys are made of...., and comparing any part of our Aussie Rules football to anything that you may think resembles football in the US is just plain sacrilege.  :wai:

You'll get a good stream at

www.vipbox.fi

If you have a few Mbps speed internet.

Some pop ups but you'll eventually get there.

The best I've found.

Sometimes have to wait a few minutes in before streaming works.

Enjoy the games and...

Go Tigers, Go Trump, Go solar.
