One week at a time.  Warm and sunny predicted for this Friday.

If we make it, a nice dry Perth September day would be ideal. 

We seem to kick straight when it is warm and dry, but can be a bit all over the place when wet and dewy!

Does anybody know a way to get a ticket to the prelim IF we do make it?

My situation is that I am an MCC member, and pay the extra $90 for the MFC membership on top - which includes no game day access, so I assume I won't have access to any finals tickets IF we make it.

Spoke to MFC Membership Services today about all this (and why not!!). There’ll be a pre-general-admission opportunity for WCE and Melb/Haw club members to get tix, through Ticketmaster (thank Christ), most probably on Mon 17 Sept between 9am-1pm.

From what they were saying, it sounds like the amount of tix offered, in the first instance, to both the home and away club members will be the same - that’s promising if you are an MFC member and you intend to go. Re travel packages if you’re that way inclined, MFC won’t be doing them, but there will be some packages (tix and travel/accom or just travel/accom) available through AFL Travel.

Needless to say, if the Dees get up this Fri as I think we should, Perth here we come, by hook or by crook!!

I booked refundable flights on Sunday.,

Fingers crossed I don’t need to apply for the refund.

The game was originally going to be earlier but us Perthites whinged to the AFL that the sun would fade our curtains and the cows wouldn’t milk.

Found some flights 588 return. Non refundable though. Tempting. 

Can you book just one way for now then book the flight home if we beat Hawthorn? That way if we don’t beat Hawthorn you’ve only wasted the money on the flight over.

Not a bad option Ethan. The other possibility is adding an extra $45 each way to make the fares flexible. So if I we lose I can use them another time.

The problem is I have the "exclusive" membership - which is just a scarf and a calendar essentially. I believe the "premium" one is required (this costs ~200 extra, and until now has had no use) to get access to finals tickets.

I would be happy to give you my barcode number to use as I can't get to Perth that weekend.   The more demon supporters at 'The Booooooooooooo Stadium' the better. 

I would think AFL/Ticketmaster release the same number of tickets for the priority member purchase for both teams so you should have no trouble getting tickets. 

Let's hope we make it!

Yes, you might be right about that, sorry. The premium option gives you priority access to finals’ tickets.

I'm sure there would be members who wobt be able to make it over who could help out with a membership barcode for the game.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
