There was no advertised offer this year, but I rang the call centre and they said they were still offering it if you talk to them directly and request it. As long as they can see on your account that you had it previously then I think you should be ok (it worked for me anyway)
Funnily enough, even though I now have the live scores, I have only just discovered Fan Footy and I have found this to be much better to use for live scores as it refreshes much quicker and also gives all the other stats as well.

Article below from Afl website. Re Sydney's forward line. Not sure on Ronke's job security.
SYDNEY'S mosquito fleet forward line couldn't inspire the Swans to a second straight win without Lance Franklin, but coach John Longmire will continue to search for an answer to his side's scoring woes after their two-point loss to North Melbourne on Saturday night.
The Swans sprung an upset at Geelong in round six when the likes of Will Hayward, Oliver Florent, Robbie Fox and Ben Ronke caused the Cats plenty of problems at ground level, but they couldn't repeat the magic against the Kangaroos.
ROOS STUN SWANS:*Full match coverage and stats*
Apart from Hayward's three goals, the rest of Sydney's small forwards struggled to have an impact, and they badly missed the presence of Franklin (bruised heel) and fellow tall Sam Reid (quad), finishing with just 9.12 against the Roos, their lowest score of the season.*
Longmire said the lack of tall targets inside 50 isn't ideal, nor is the inexperience of his forward line without Franklin and Reid.
WATCH:*The last two minutes
"Just have a look at our front half," he said.*
"We're trying to come up with ways to kick a winning score, and last week in the last quarter we were able to.*
"But if you drop away in any part of the game, every little part of your game gets exposed.*
"We understand that, but you've still got to find a way to score.*
"That’s the reality of it."
WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S ALMOST A WAY:*Five talking points
Franklin could return for next week's clash with his former side Hawthorn on Friday night, but the four-time Coleman medallist is no guarantee and could miss a third game in a row.
Longmire said star midfielder Dan Hannebery (groin) could also be back to face the Hawks, but both he and Franklin need to prove their fitness at training during the week.*
WATCH:*John Longmire's full post-match media conference
"Both of them had a run on Friday, so we'll see how it goes," he said.
"It's a Friday game so I'm not sure if that impacts things to see if they're up and going by Wednesday.
"They're both probably 50-50 at the moment and we'll see how the week progresses."

Nice article from the mfc website, if anyone is interested in what the makeup of the team may look like going forward.
Best team set-up starting to take shape

COACH Simon Goodwin says Melbourne’s forward line set-up and its overall best 22 is getting closer to being locked in.
Goodwin said the first part of the season had partly been about finding the best mix of players to take the team ahead for the rest of the year.
“We’re getting closer [with our best forward set-up],” he said.
“I think the first six or seven weeks, you test and learn, and you understand your team. *
“You find the strengths of things that work for you – and we think we’re getting close to that.
“Getting Tom McDonald back and Jack [Viney] in another week – we’re starting to get a full complement of players available to play.
“We feel like we’re learning a lot about our playing group.”
Goodwin said having Angus Brayshaw in the midfield had strengthened that area.
“He’s been a huge bonus for us in the past few weeks,” he said.
“We feel like it’s getting closer, but we’ve still got some work to do.”

Well, that’s different..
ETIHAD Stadium will be renamed Marvel Stadium from September this year in a fresh eight-year deal.
Marvel will take on the naming rights of the Docklands Stadium and even include a premium Marvel store at the venue.
It ends a partnership with Etihad that dates back to 2009.
Marvel describes itself as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, responsible for some of the world's most famous comic characters including Spider-Man, Hulk and Captain America.
"Now, we look forward to a new era of entertainment for the stadium where we will push the envelope and continue to deliver world-class events and fan engagement," Melbourne Stadiums Limited CEO Michael Green said.
"This partnership will allow us to take the stadium atmosphere to the next level and create memorable experiences for a vast array of audiences and we look forward to delivering a truly game-changing experience."
Etihad Stadium was the third naming rights partner of the venue after it opened as Colonial Stadium in 2000 before a change to Telstra Dome in 2002.
