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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
