How many games u missing?? Ive booked for QLD in June. Turns out im up there for the Port game which im pretty happy about.

You both better find some way to get coverage, or it's not worth it.

AFL coverage in Japan is on http://australianetwork.com/sportslounge/, we have it here in Hong Kong but unfortnately not one Richmond game has been shown.
We are the only team that hasnt been televised so far.
I did send an email of complaint and was advised of future Richmond games that maybe televised.

I hope this helps

AFL Premiership Season - Rnd 7: Richmond v St.KildaSaturday 3 May at 21:30 .

Just checked the schedule

 

[Mr T]

there is always the live streaming of the game on radio on the afl website

Are you going to be in Tokyo? If so there is a bar called Paddy Foley's, in Roppongi, which broadcast games live every weekend. Can't say whether they'll be Richmond games or not though.

Japan is wild!

I fly through every 8 weeks. Love it there. If you like scandalously short skirts, you'll be a very happy man...

Not sure where to watch the footy though.

 

[handy point]

That Roppongi bar, mentioned above, still the go for footy watching in Tokyo? Do they show Australia Network games?

I'm passing through this upcoming weekend, last time I was in Tokyo (2005) there was a place in Shinjuku that showed one or two games a weekend, had fantastic fish and chips and Asahi on tap.

I've noticed more games coming up being streamed live on atdhe.net and myp2p.eu lately if that interests you. It's very hit and miss though.
