Is the Perth casino a good place to watch the Tigers and Pies smash each other on Friday night with fellow Dees supporters?

Yeah mate, the sports bar there is pretty good. Bogan central though.

    Unfortunately I can’t convince the wife that this is a good way to spend money so I’m saving for a GF ticket (knock on wood)

    Is anyone looking into chartering a plane? These guys are doing it for Eagles supporters in case they make it.

    How's Virgin, they put on a new flight to Perth on Saturday and it is even reasonably priced... lands at 1:05pm on Saturday. Good one Virgin!

    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!!!!

    Do you need tickets?

    As low as $460.00 return on Jetstar (leave Friday return Sunday) if you’re not fussy re early or late times.

    I’m doing Brisbane/Perth for $660.00.

    Put this is the wrong thread earlier....

     

    Nephew used my codes, and got tickets for 4 people, up behind the Dees cheer sqaud.

    Lucky he is with a couple of  mates who can go a bit, as his mouth is Shrek sized when the Dees are playing.

     

    Hopefully we can get enough voices there to be heard.

    I just bought flights to Perth (without tickets to the game!) If anyone has a spare/knows how I can get a ticket, that would be amazing! Please let me know :)

    Those new Jetstar flight times are good (unlike Virgin flying in 10 minutes before the match starts!) but you’re still looking at $1200 return.

    We’re going and we’ll be loud! Goody convinced me! (Costing a small fortune- bought a package)

    Where’s a good pub for post game celebration (hopefully)? Also to watch the game on Friday night?

    Did anyone else notice the Webjet site was stinking up the joint in the last few days? Couldn’t search this route at all.

    I’ll be there with some of my family... very exciting!

    Does anyone know if the dees have a training session on the Friday at the ground?

    You know what, its a pity Our club can't arrange these matters, for members who can't make it over... that they could organize an on-trade for the one game, at a moderate fee, for handling the matter on behalf of the members involved.

    Jetstar have added a flight to Perth from 7am Friday from Melbourne for $452. Likewise return Sunday at 10am for the same price.

    Yes, seems to me the airlines were holding onto flights for there own websites. It’s fair to say it was/ is hard work trying to work out flights.

    So we bought our tickets to the game as soon as we could, determined to buy flights only 8f they put on cheaper flights. But, as is always the way when it comes to the MFC, my old man, my sister and I, bit the bullet and splashed close to $800+ each. 

    We will be there and I hope my loudness can compete with the 50,000-odd feral out of work miners.

    Managed to secure seats to the game on the wing on the ground level. Flying out Thursday night and flying home on the red eye sunday night.

    Here's hoping for a memorable match!

    Gone with Qantas. Thought they had much better scheduled flights then the other airlines.

    I'm happy to chip in if we can get the woo-hoo guy from Adelaide Oval over. Anyone know his gofundme details?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
