Preliminary Final Time Announced

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.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
