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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
