Global bonus for troops with free live streaming

THE AFL has offered an Anzac Day bonus for Diggers, with the League today announcing Australian military troops serving across the globe will be given free access to live streaming of all AFL games.

The initiative kicks off on Friday, just in time for the Anzac Day blockbuster between Collingwood and Essendon, with all active service men and women able to watch football games live or on demand through WatchAFL, the League's international streaming service.

AFL deputy chief executive Gillon McLachlan made the announcement on Wednesday at Parliament House in Canberra, along with the Minister for Defence, David Johnston.

"We're incredibly pleased to support the military with this initiative," McLachlan told AFL.com.au.

"Anzac Day plays an extraordinarily big part in the AFL calendar; it's our biggest game of the year.

"As well as this small contribution to our active men and women overseas, we will also be donating a portion of our ticketing proceeds over the weekend to the Anzac Centenary Public Fund, and we're very pleased to be able to do it."

Australians are still serving overseas in Africa and the Middle East, with around 400 troops still in Afghanistan despite the withdrawal last year.

Active service men and women will be provided with a voucher to log into WatchAFL and view as many games as they like for the remainder of the season.

McLachlan said the initiative has kept the AFL one step ahead of the other football codes.

"I think it does [keep the AFL ahead of the game], but I think they will probably follow suit," McLachlan said.

"In the end though, this is about us making a contribution through this small initiative to our active service men and women and recognising the extraordinary job they do for Australians.

What a great initiative - only a code like the AFL puts Australian service men and women before $$$. Well done AFL over to you NRL let's see if they have the balls to follow suit!!

Hahaha and what I can see from that is, not one bloody mention of one of the nations that make up ANZAC day.

Loons.

We've been down this road before. I've posted numerous official NZ ANZAC websites and articles that NEVER MENTION A SINGLE THING about Australia.

No I'm stating that ANZAC day in Australia is a time to remember fallen Australian Servicemen - and in NZ they remember fallen NZ servicemen - I am yet to go to a dawn service that pays tribute to NZ during the service and I go every year - again get the chip off your shoulder and just like you accuse others off point out where I have said Kiwi servicemen are worthless??? I want an apology for your disgusting insinuation!!! Otherwise I will speak to xman about a penalty!!!!

Very very cheap shot and disgraceful for using something as sacred as ANAC day for petty point scoring. I have relatives who have served, who are serving and who have fallen serving - now I expect an apology!
