We're flying up and back same day (with return flight to Melb. via Sydney first!),  but booked GA on the Hill to at least save some money rather than seats never having been to the ground before, thinking we might be the only demon members there standing.  At least there might be some company for us.  Not sure what vocal support GWS get there?

Yeah not sure. I don't really think they have any fans - let alone ones that would drive down to Canberra. I'm predicting the ground will be mostly full of neutral Victorian expats. But yeah - you won't be alone in the standing. We will be pretty rowdy haha!

    Anyone who has been to Manuka give me an idea of how the Hill stand Geneal admin fills up ? Just wondering what time I'll have to get there to get a decent seat... Assuming it shouldn't be too early!

    We went up the last time they played there and the local Demon supporter group has a pre game function at a club close to the ground. Call the MFC Membership number and they will be able to give you the details. It's hosted by Russel Robertson. Then after this you just walk down to the match and get they 15- 20mins before the game starts.

    Staying Manuka Park apartments across the road from ground 

    Went once  to prematch function hosted by RR it was as usual an expensive shambles ah la Dawin cocktail party

    Post match used to go to the RSL near the ground old building with plenty of atmosphere

    Unfortunately some P $%ck burnt the joint down

    Good restaurants Kingston walking distance from the ground but expensive because the public servants get paid too much and can afford it

    For what its worth!

    Should be ok I reckon. The weather will probably keep a few of the 'casual' local supporters away.

    Current forecast for Partly cloudy. Medium (60%) chance of showers in the morning. Winds northwesterly 30 to 45 km/h. Max of 11.

    That wind will make it feel colder than a witches [censored].

     

    No open training session which is a shame for the kids. Last time the players had a stroll around the ground and spent a fair bit of time signing autographs, my kids loved it. Must be a smash'n'grab for the four points this time.

    Well, we made it to our Kingston accommodation and decided to wander down to the shops to stock up on some food. Weather is a little windy, very light rain but made worse by the fact it's [censored] cold. Went to IGA and found the shelves are almost as empty as the footpaths... it was only 4pm and the place is like a ghost town!

    @JV7 Sorry to say but Hill GA is grass, no seats unless it has changed since I was last there earlier this year.

    Looks like their is "Manuka Hill" & "Hill Stand" Looking at it I thought Manuka hill was the standing area.. @Kumamoto_Ken any idea ? 

    Edit: looks like I might have got standing :( might just jump in a few spare seats, surely there'll be a couple free!

    I think that's right, Hill is grassy (people actually tend to sit on it rather than stand, but it'll be soggy tomorrow), Hill Stand is reserved seating. You can always sit in a seat until someone boots you out.

    Likewise DOF... we're in the Hill Stand 2.

    We'll be neighbours hardtack. By my (often flimsy) reckoning, the wind direction should see the ball in our pocket / flank for a fair bit of the day.

    A big thank you to @Ungarie boy for finding a great place for Uncle Bitters and I to stay in Canberra. 

    Highly recommend his travel agency should any Demonlanders think of coming this way.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
