IF YOU have an Amazon Echo in your home, it's now even easier to keep up to speed with the footy.
Hands-free speakers like the Echo or Echo Dot let you turn your home into an automated, voice-activated hub, powered by Amazon's voice service, Alexa.
With the launch of AFL on Alexa, you can now get a fast footy fix without interrupting what you're doing.
'Alexa, open AFL'
To start a conversation, it's as simple as telling your Echo: 'Alexa, open AFL'
You can then ask Alexa everyday footy questions such as:
- When are the Bombers playing next?
- Where are the Eagles on the ladder?

Footy facts at your command
You can already ask Alexa about fixture, news and ladder info. And Alexa's AFL knowledge is expanding all the time.
It currently includes information about:
- 2018 fixtures and results
- Latest news
- The AFL ladder
- Historical scores
AFL on Alexa can be accessed with Echo and Echo Dot devices, available from Amazon's online store or electronic retailers.
Echo devices let you instantly connect to Alexa to play music, get information, news and weather, or control other connected devices in your home.
