How can the Club encourage suporters to the Geelong game at Skilled Stadium. A couple of years ago the Club put on a Melbourne train to Geelong. Should we also encourage the Club to somehow make tickets available in a certain area for Melbourne supporters. (I'm not sure that is feasible). Geelong gets such a bias from umpires because of the numbers of supporters. Any ideas?

I have just purchased 2 tickets for the Ron Hovey Room behind the glass.

Unfortunately there is no upgrade on MFC membership tickets so the price per ticket is quite high.

I am really keen and looking forward to seeing how the boys play against Geelong and how they match up

Ticketing at Geelong is a case of first in first serve and trying to get the best seating that you can I am afraid!!

A couple of years ago I got seats amongst the Geelong Members once, my mate (from Geelong) wanted me there to bag me out all day.

We won by a kick after the siren.

One of the great days of my life.

I was in the cattle pen in the south east forward pocket that day - $50 for a carp seat - but it was worth every cent to hear the cow cockies howl at the end.

A mate of mine emailed me saying for $26 you can get a reserved seat behind the goals. Tickets now selling. Get in quick as they will be snapped up fast I think.

I looked at all reserved seats and the cheapest I could get was $55...opted for the $26 GA option instead

I like going to Geelong to watch the Dees. I love Geelong, and I can at least handle their supporters. I don't feel anywhere near as intimidated as I have at AAMI or Subiaco.

Probably won't go this year though.

Dang...I fail the internet

last year we had to stand amongst 99.99% Catters. Previous years we got seats through the geelong DEMON suppoter group but there are only 100 seats allocated...very poor IMO. Train from Southern Cross only 1hr...better than going by car.

As others have said, tickets for the general public are pretty limited, and those that are available are typically pretty pricey.

Gen admission means standing, unless you get there exceptionally early (ie. when the gates open, or not long after).

I went last year. It's a freezing dump of a stadium packed full of morons. I won't be going back.

Would not bother. Likely to be smashed too after coming back from the Darwin heat and Humidity. We are likely to be flat as.

You're not very good at the internet. Just booked reserved seats behind goals for $28 each (inc. handling fee).

I have home & away membership & tried to get seats on net today. They wanted $97.00 for 2. It wouldn't let me enter the bar codes on my season tickets.

That's why Geelong clean up at every game down there-it stinks. Every cent goes to them. Lucky Bastards.

You couldn't figure out how to enter the barcodes, or you entered the barcodes and they weren't accepted?

If it's the former, you need to ensure you select the right event when you click 'find tickets'.

If it's the latter, are you sure they cover this match? I'm pretty sure the '16-game membership' includes our 14 games at the 'G and the two matches at Etihad.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
