Melbourne to train at Skilled Stadium

Featured Replies

Posted

Apparently Melbourne is going to train at skilled stadium on Friday afternoon

I imagine this would not be a closed session as there is no way known that Geelong will not be watching

If that is the case does anyone know if Melbourne supporters are allowed to sit in on the session,

and if they are, what time will the session be held at ?

Also apparently Melbourne is staying the night in Geelong

Anyone know if the Melbourne football club is organising anything for Melbourne supporters in the Geelong region to meet or greet the players ?

Besides being at the game.

Its bloody hard to get tickets thats for sure :(

 

It's not easy for them to have a closed session at Skilled and as you said, the cats would be able to watch no matter what, so what would be the point?

Not sure about any functions, but I'll try to head down tomorrow.

I know they only release a certain amount of tickets, but I think there is a little bit of a fallacy with these ticket sales. My sister jumped online Monday night and bought tickets as easily as any other event. I think people are either too lazy to try or are just using it as an excuse not to go.


You're dead right, it's not that hard to get tickets at all if you're just a little bit organised.

If you wake up the morning before the game and decide you want tickets, then yes, you will probably find difficulty.

there is no tickets left

my family called up and they said there were no more left

but there still might be

Sorry, two mornings before the game.

Still, with a little forward planning, tickets to Skilled aren't all that difficult to come by. In fact, there are still General Admin tickets available right now.

are they standing though or seated ones?

Why would anyone want tickets when you can stay home and listen to the dulcet tones of Kelli Underwood?

oh i have to agree there haha :)

GA means no guaranteed seating. Whether there is walk-up seating at Skilled or not I just don't know.

oh i thought so but yeah not sure

might just have to watch this one on tv :(

not the same though

been to every game this year and this one should be good

Agree. From almost any vantage point at Skilled.

The session I'd imagine wouldn't give much away anyway, being the day before the match. More a familiarity, tuning up session I would have thought. I'm sure our coaches would be most wary re: set plays.

Besides Geelong would have done their homework anyway. If anything, Geelong would have more concern on who is IN and who is OUT of the Melbourne side. Albeit very little concern.

Cos they're the "greatest".. :rolleyes:

Who cares. If you wanna support the team it doesn't matter if you have to stand. My sister and I are going down to stand in the general admin. Jump online if you're having trouble getting them over the phone. Quick and simple.

when you have someone with you whos nearly 70 i think it does matter

Well it seems tickets arent as hard as what I thought they where to get

Dont know how the boys trained but its been raining down here all afternoon.

So if they did train wouldnt surprise me if Geelong turned off the Hot water. :lol:

Well even though no one gives us a chance tommorrow I hope the boys have a real crack at it

Would be geat to see them push Geelong

We can only watch and hope

Edited by Demon Stalwart


As long as the Boys Believe in their own ability & have a real Crack. Who knows what the players have said to each other on the way down to Geelong.

If the Article in the Geelong Addy with Clint Bartram says anything-The MFC are looking forward to the challenge.

If it gets ugly Tomorrow, well we know how much more work is needed. I don't think it will. I predict another close one.

This young side enjoys playing top teams & i expect that tradition to continue...(i Hope)!!!!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
