Selling my soul - Melb / Ess game

I will be brining my young family to Melbourne for the weekend of 11/12 July, and wanted to treat them to the MCG experience with the mighty Dee’s; unfortunately this works out to be the Bombers game; and worse still it’s their home game. I now find myself in the loathsome situation where not only am I seen to be supporting this tainted cesspool of an organisation masquerading as a football club, but contributing towards their bottom dollar through the purchase of tickets. This on top of my vow to never ever be involved in a Melbourne game.

Still my number one priority is to my kids so I am trying to justify this unholy course of action, by convincing myself that I will not let evil triumph over good or in this case the Essendon Saga impact on my family’s enjoyment of AFL (life). Towards this end can anyone advise me how I go about getting tickets? I have tried to get them through ticktetek but all they have available is level 4 or limited seating behind the goals; surely this game is not a sellout. We were hoping to be somewhere on the wing while the boys were hoping to get close to the fence (is this the best spot to watch a game for 8-12 year olds). Any advice would be most appreciated.

Still, I feel so unclean.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
