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.....

Alternatively you should now have two tickets. Wait until it sells out and sell one for 27.95 and get in for free! 

(or drag along a potential dees supporter!). or take it with you and sell it to someone who is a walk up

Previous ticketmaster experience dictates I refrain from headbutting brick wall but thanks for the thought

... and use the profit to buy 4 cans to stand on which was accepted procedure last time I was squeezed into suburban standing room.

Indeed. And they have the cheek to charge you a handling fee for a fully automated system (and even though the ticket gets emailed to you)

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

Last time I went was Round 22 1987.  Tragically still the highlight of my Dees supporting career. I'm going to be down from Sydney by coincidence and will be there.

Will also be out at Blacktown for rd 4 the night after Daisy Pearce is doing a function for the NSW Demons supporter group. If anyone is interested in going she's doing a Q & A led by the Publisher of Women's Health, Jackie Frank. Go on their website to get tickets. Will be a great function the night before the big event.

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.

I've got a week-long Fly Fishing Convention at Lake Eucumbene starting on Saturday, but I've already notified the organisers that I'll be a late starter, so that I can stay at home watch the Dees.  I'll be sitting in a lounge chair, sipping (or quaffing) a nice red.  True story!  

Last time I went was when Yze and Grygic both debuted and we won (only to find that they didn't have a copy of the Melbourne Club Song to broadcast)!

They, not meaning the AFL or Ticketmaster though ?

God, imagine the handling fee Ticketmaster would charge to put a man on the moon - who incidentally wouldn't get there.

The AFL would frequently change protocols, miscommunicate key messages and look to manage the outcome and also fail to get the man to the moon

I think* "wink wink" that we will be playing our best 22 for this first preseason game, so we won't see any of the fringe/younger players this weekend.

Me too. I remember it well. Sean wight who was on his way, pre being set back by hamstring issues, to being a superstar took three bounces and kicked a massive, and match winning, goal against a strong wind to seal the game for us.

Grinter took out Wallace , wasnt reported by the umpire and, as I remember it,  became the first player to be reviewed after the game by video.

1988 was such a great season....wild ups ans downs but so many fond memories.

Footscray supporters wanted Blood that day...It was fairly tense in the crowd afterwards

Hahaha yes. But i was standing on their turf. I actually heard the crack of Wallace Jaw. I was standing fairly close to where it happened  

The swill wanted to punch on and did

yes they were very poor

Dogs at The Kennel.... hmmm would that be the Near Kennel or the Far........

Upgraded my FOXTEL back up to have fox footy. It really does feel like footy is upon us now! 

Will be rushing home to watch this one. 

Based on the MFC Tweet - Joel Smith will make his MFC debut.  

Interesting seeing that he missed the Intraclub last Friday.  

I'm to see how he goes as I have high hopes for him. 

Hoping JKH makes the squad. Pre-season reports have me feeling optimistic about what he can produce.
