If you are with Sky or Virgin Media it will set you back £15 per month. Details are scant as to how many they will show a week, this weekend it is two games. <br /> <br /> I watched the opening round Sydney v West Coast which started at 10am British Summer Time. It was worth the £15 per month fee in a heart stopper however my team, the Swans, went down by one point - the same margin they lost to West Coast in the 2006 Grand Final.<br /> <br /> On a side note for international viewers there is an excellent page from <a href="http://www.afana.com/drupal/intltv07" title="AFANA Guide">AFANA</a> which outlines international coverage of footy. They were <a href="http://www.afana.com/drupal/node/406" >instigators</a> in getting Setanta to carry AFL live into the UK. <br /> <br /> Sat, 31 Mar 2007 12:56:50 -0700 http://www.camerongray.net/index.php?/archives/10-guid.html http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/
