Hi guys

Apologies if this has been addressed before.

I'm a BigPond customer and up until now have been a massive fan of all the match replays you can get through the official 'unmetered' video page, which I get to by clicking at the link at the very top of the AFL website.

For the last couple of years they have had every quarter of every game from the current and previous season available to watch, which you find simply by searching the name of the video, something like 'Rd 2 Rich v St K Q1'. You could then watch the video in very high, 'adsl' quality.

I'm posting because as far as I can see about a week or so ago the Video page got totally revamped, and access to these videos has been removed. I can't find a search bar or any other way to get at the old replays through this main video page, there is only a video player and a very limited selection of highlights, etc. available.

I could use the Smart Replay function through the AFL site, but it seems to run like an absolute mess compared to the simple and easy previous option, is slow, doesn't work in the 'adsl' quality, and doesn't feature matches from the previous season. In fact right now the extent of my viewing of 'Smart Replay' is the site telling me that I am an overseas customer while I get bits and pieces of slow commentary of the game I've chosen.

Is anybody having this same problem? Or if anybody knows a way around the new website to get to the videos, could you shed some light?

Alternatively any other good place to get replays would be appreciated. Cheers.
 
The AFL website is a joke.

I'm trying to access a Smart Replay and it's telling me I am outside Australia so can't access it. WTF???

Doing the exact same thing to me, it will load up the last game of the round ok, but as soon as I try to select any other game, it says I'm not in the country and can't watch it.
 
Yep exactly the same! I am outside AUSTRALIA! Well not the last time I looked! Cant afford a :$%^# holiday to kangaroo Island! Website is joke! Need to sack to tools they are employing to running it! Get people that know what they are doing - can't be that hard -plenty of 17 year old millionaires out there that suggest it is just know how!

Are you referring to the AFL live app? I use this and it find it ok, except that it tends to cut in and out a bit. Living in Queensland where basically all they show is Lions and Suns match it's better than nothing and better than paying for crappy Austar.
