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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
