Attention: MFC Reserved Seat Holders.

Just been advised by the club that there it will cost $17 extra to reserve a seat at Etihad on August 14th match against West Coast.

For this match you can either choose to upgrade to a reserved seat on the wing of level one or you can enter on your membership card and sit in general admission on level one near the goals.

The upgrade prices are:

Adult - $17

Junior - $9.

Level 2 is not available to Melbourne members so it will only be level one seating for this match.

What's the use of buying an 11 game Redleg Reserved Seat package if it only allows you reserved seating in Melbourne for 9 games.

The viewing at Etihad on Levels 1 and 3 is pathetic compared to Level 2 at the MCG or Etihad.

I'm sure it's not 100% the club's fault. But it stinks, I'm sure my membership wasn't reduced by the cost of a level 2 reserved seat at the G for one match when I paid for it. I'm sure I've had a reserved seat on lv 1 at Etihad for home games in th past. Away games I'm happy to upgrade and pay the difference for lv 2 at Etihad so I don't think I'm stingy,

I am furious we're playing a home game there to begin with. I actually think WC plays more games there than us this year. Where's the home ground advantage?

Agree...Etihad is absolute s**te. Bulldoze it tomorrow... couldn't happen fast enough.

Whatever happened to the idea of an AFL stand-alone stadium in the North Melbourne rail/industrial precinct. This was floated a couple of years back but nothing appears to have happened since.

There's currently a MCC (Melbourne City Council) masterplan for that whole area in terms of residential development but the proposal of an AFL owned ground seems to have slipped off the radar. Anyone interested can access the plan through the MCC website.

I am absolutely filthy about this, it was bad enough we have to have a home game at this joint but now we have to pay for something that our membership's entitled to?!

Are we going to get a make up game at the G much like we do for Darwin? Because that's how I feel like we're being treated. Screw you ES, never going there again for an away game (and we should never play another home game there).

Level 3 on the wing is actually a pretty good spot to watch the footy at Etihad, IMO. Would willingly sit there ahead of level 1. Given it's going to be a rubbish crowd, should be no problems finding a good seat up there.

Pity we will lose like always though.

Not happy about it! Reserved seat memberships are not cheap, and we shouldn't have to fork out any extra for Shitihad stadium.

I will just go and sit somewhere random and maybe bump into some of the characters on demonland.

Just received an email from the club, Level 3 will not be opened, GA is on Level 1. So the pockets on Level 1 will be packed with the wing set aside for reserved seat holders who don't actually get a reserved seat at this game unless they're willing to part with $17.

I don't like going there either but we have to play our share of games there.

The game is against the weagles and the crowd will be low.

It is the world we live in and it is vital that the MFC do not lose money so pay up and shut up.

if we won there on a regular basis would we all care? No

The reason we have not won there is simple we have not been good enough.

Win the game and all the problems fade away.

If we beat the weagles I will walk away happy.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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 star play

    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
