Dee Zephyr is leading the way! I bought plane tickets before they were crazy just after the Geelong game as I have family living out West. I'm hoping the direct Qantas flight to Perth at 19:

I’m guessing the people that are going over are made up of one or more of the following groups:

1) Live with Mum and Dad - yep

2) Mortgage free  - yep

3) Kids free  -yep

) Going to have a horrid October credit card bill. - yep

I'm pretty sure there's no anti scalping laws in WA

So that being the case... Can anyone who's not using their barcodes please PM them to me and I'll happily relieve desperate WCE fans of their hard earned, and we can facilitate a profit share as required

I'll of course have to be there in site to hand over the tickets and collect the funds just to ensure it goes smoothly - BTW I only fly business class, and of course such expenses will ne deducted from the pre shared funds!

...

I jest (sort of), but I suspect newcomers to this site may be taking advantage...

Spending $700 on a return airfare puts the ticket price in perspective though. ?

True. Hoping my application with the Demon Army is successful. Those ones'might only be $65..

Heading over to Perth on my own, I understand the 50/50 split however if I choose a section and no other dees supporters select that section I’m guessing I’ll be surrounded by eagles fans.

Anyone have any ideas where to sit other than section 105 with the cheer squad.

Preferably level 2 on ground on the wing?

The surrounding pockets would be your best bet. It should automatically allocate you to a demons section anyway

I hope so! Not overly keen on a sitting in the pocket though, better than sitting amongst eagles fans I suppose

If you're that dead against it I'm sure there will be other allocated Melbourne areas.  Youll be most likely be heavily outnumbered tough. Cant imagine more than 5000 or so Melbourne fans travelling, Could be wrong though

My application was successful (and tickets were only $65 plus postage)! This is going to be fun (and something I’ve never done before in my wrapped in cotton wool MCC footballing experience)... ?

Can’t wait!

The safest bet would be to buy a ticket yourself and then either: Sell it at price to a melb fan (through dm) or head to eBay and hopefully [censored] over a eagles fan

Better yet, don’t sell it to an Eagles fan, give it to a Freo fan or leave seat empty...

My son lost faith after the St Kilda game. It took me until the Sydney game to give up hope of finals. But the last 5 weeks, wow. We've been the last 2 weeks and the joy it has brought to the whole family is amazing.

Big thanks to the wife for urging me to go.

Go Dees!!!

Planning on going. Was out the front of a Ticketmaster at 6:30am this morning and grabbed my que ticket (02!!!). Will be heading back to try and secure them shortly.

Haven't booked flights yet as I want to ensure I'll get game tickets first, but looking at approx $1300 return!!!!

Hey everyone,

I've just discovered that a basic MFC / MCC membership won't be enough to let me buy a ticket through Ticketmaster 9am Monday (if this page is anything to go by anyway: https://www.mcc.org.au/my-mcc-membership/dual-membership-options/melbourne-football-club)

I've already booked a flight over so if anyone has a membership code that they're not using and could PM me it'd be amazingly appreciated. I promise I won't be using it for any GF ballot or anything as people have been mentioning above. Cheers.

You can....I’ve already had an email from club giving me my options

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
