Just bought my ticket – I wasn't able to purchase a General Admission Grandstand Seat (which was one of the options) so I assume they are sold out.

I'll have to slum it on Ground Level – Never been to the ground so hoping for a good viewing experience.

Are you a member? If so how much did you have to pay fr the ticket (i went to buy my ticket but realised i didn't have my member's card on me)

    $20 plus the fees. Standing room only. Now wondering where to get my 4 VB cans for personal grandstand circa 1970.

    Weather for Saturday is max of 19.. possible light showers and medium (20-30klm) winds

    Great weather for footy (seriously :) )

    Clouds should obscure the western sun which should make it even better

    Last time i went to The Western Oval was in 1988 when Terry Wallace had his jaw redecorated!

    Then he sued Grinter/defendant a couple of years later according to "Open Mike".

    Last time I went out there, we had a cheap win over Fitzroy in their dying days with Farmer kicking some freak goal on the boundary line at the Barkly St end.

    Yep, member which I think gives you walk-up free entry but advised to pay for ticket to ensure entry if ground reaches capacity.

    That's annoying, given the ticket is for GA not a reserved seat. A bit cheeky really. Last year at Cranbourne the same ticket was $5 IIRC

    I guess the questions is will there be a sell out, which would mean 10, 000 people there - a bigger crows that go to most NRL and A league games

    Yep I'm a member – but haven't paid up for this year yet so assumed I wouldn't get the option to 'upgrade' until I have paid.

    Cost was $22.50 including fees. Can't wait!

    Got a fishing comp on Saturday so I'll be sucking back cold cans out the back of Rottnest trying to land the winning fish.

    Thank goodness for Foxtel IQ.

    It would have been hard to get a kick being the 19th man

    Bought GA standing room tickets yesterday. If the game was anywhere else but Footrscray I wouldn't have bothered, but given they are reigning premiers and playing in the midst of their supporter base, I think they'll get to the 10,000 capacity.

    You are probably right but jeez it is a slug. Just went on to buy a GA and the total cost was 27.85 (20 for ticket, 5 for member ticket whatever that is and 2.95 handling - which drives me nuts - handling?).

     I'll probably buy it in the end but it's a fair wack for standing at a glorified practice match

    Sounds like you're looking at 2 tickets? Just the membership upgrade should only cost you $5 and the 2.95 fee.

    Thanks. I assumed that was the issue but went back a few times and tried again but to no avail. Perhaps you don't need to click on the one adult box? I'll try again

    I think you have paid too much.I just bought mine (after multiple error messages - it took about 45 mins to complete!) and i was correct before. You don't click on any of the ticket options just put your barcarole in from your members card and click thorough to payment section. 7.95 in total. Initially i clicked on adult ticket, which seemed logical but baulked at the cost.

    Thanks DeeSpencer. Saved me $20

    Cost of technological incompetence - $15. :) Oh well. I'll look harder next time.

    Not your fault at all. Incredibly stupid process - i mean of course you indicate you want an adult ticket! If you can bothered you should ask for a refund of the $20 they stung you. They can put a man on the moon but.....

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
