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.

Hey ash. Here's a link to the dees website to organize tickets.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    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,
