Travelling to Interstate Games in 2011

I am wondering who else out there is planning to travel to one or more of Melbourne's interstate games this season? Me and a few mates made our first interstate trip to the Round 21 game against Port last year, and loved it. We have already booked a few trips for this year. We will be heading to the Gabba in April for the game against the Gold Coast, and also making the trek to Darwin for the game against Port.

Did anyone go to the game in Darwin last year? I had a friend go to the Bulldogs game up there and said the atmosphere was fantastic, due to the fact they are so starved of AFL up there - they love every moment of it!

Also, does anyone know if you can organise tickets through the club to away games to sit in a Dees supporter area or anything like that? Would prefer not to just book through ticketmaster as could end up sitting anywhere...

    I went to Darwin last year, and I highly recommend it. It was close to the best football experience I have ever had (up there with watching training before the 88 GF). The atmosphere was awesome. The ground is great to watch football at, and Darwin is a fantastic town.

    Thanks Scooter, I will check it out. Can't wait for the trip to Brissie but I kind of wish we were playing at the new stadium on the Gold Coast.

    And Thomo that's what I've heard, I havent been to Darwin in years but looking to make the most of it by going up on the train through Alice Springs!!!

    Cheers guys

    Couldn't agree more. Darwin was the best and I'll be heading back this year again.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
