Hey guys

Well im doing it! IM FINALLY COMING TO THE G!

Was not sure where to post this but wanted as much help as possible as i prepare for this!

After being a supporter since i was in grade 9 i am finally going to the G for the first time! I think....I HOPE!

My youngest brother is turning 21 and we thought as a present we would pay for his return ticket from brissy to melbourne and accommodation!

Some questions

1)We are right for tickets for the game if we are all members? right????

2)We plan to come on Saturday morning and go back to Brisbane Tuesday! so 3 nights. Where do you suggest we stay? REMEMBER we are all either students or unemployed people!

3) We want to participate in the whole queens birthday celebrations like the walk etc.

There is 4 of us coming!

Any other help possible would be great, we are creating a kitty as we speak to help with the costs... If anyone can help in any way that would be fantastic with advice etc.

P.S Sorry i have been a bit inactive with the boards,i have a lot of Tafe and stuff on!

Thanks guys!!!

re: admission, it will depend on your membership, but I'd assume so.

Maybe best to call the club & check first?

Mouse, google YMCA here in Melbourne. I know it sounds a bit naff but would be right for the budget. Leave more to celebrate our win! When you ring the club find out if they are going to have a function after the game even if it is an away game. Have a great time whilst you are here.

Well done for making it to the G.

If you have an interstate membership you will get in on those cards. They allow for five home games so that will surely qualify.

I hope to be down there for that game as well and taking my nephew who lives in Melbourne. I will be staying with them naturally but if I can be of assistance just let me know.

Accommodation I will leave in the hands of those who know. I never have to worry about that fortunately as an ex Melburnian I still have family and friends I can stay with. They come in useful now and then LOL.

Should be a great day and hopefully we get revenge on the Pies that day.

As an aside did you see my post re Qld Demons membership and player sponsorship?

Thanks guys!!!

Regarding--

1)Ringing the club and them fixing me up? How do you mean by fixing me up?

2)DemonDeb- Had a little glance at the player sponsorship but as soon as i see money involved i unfortunately know its not too possible at this time. Being a student is dam hard financially! :(

3) Bail- Yep pretty happy how the bloke is going! My brother is over the moon and when we watch on tv he gets all excited when he gets the ball, pretty cool feeling having a mate play for the club ya love.

Thanks guys so far for your help, will let u know updates

Main thing is to make sure that your membership allows you entrance into the ground so ring the club and explain your predicament to them. They may have some suggestions.

That would be a good thing if it was a home game. Sadly, it's Richmond's home game, so you may have problems getting in on a Melbourne Membership. You could try to convince the ticket sellers to give you a student discount which would put tickets at around $13.50. Not sure what sort of concession cards you will have.

As for accommodation, try these sites for hostels.

Shouldn't be too hard to find something in your price range.

Thats ok Mousey, I know how tough it is on limited incomes. As a MFC Member tho, you are a Qld Demon so PM me with your email again and I can send you the membership form.

QB is a Melbourne home game so your membership should you get you into that one. An away game is a different story.

Good luck

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
