Hi all

Anyone who is well connected in the travel industry know whether any of the airlines will schedule additional flights from Melb to Perth this week?  My memory is that in the past that is what has happened.. Does anyone know?  I am just holding off on flights at the minute in the (vain?) hope that more flights open up.  Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    I wouldn't be holding your breath choko. I think they've put on flights for Perth fans coming to Melbn for a GF but not the other way round for a prelim.

    was never going to go to Perth, but the prices are astronomically high. Talk about taking advantage of a situation, maybe a call to the ACCC should be in order.

    Just rock up to check-in and ask to be "on standby".  They accept cash ($1 & $2 notes, and round 50c pieces) or bankcard.

    Ahhh.  The good old days.  

    Vain hope...yes.

     

    Other options. 

    (A) Hitchhiking underrated.  I have never heard of an MFC supporter that was a serial killer or vice-versa.  Can this be a ride-share thread too?

    (B) Refugee option.  Hire a budget truck, and just cram in with a laptop that can stream real-time here.  If we get caught by Dutton's mob, make sure the blonde fair-skinned supporters are near the opening.  We may get through Eucla.

    I had a look - it was cheaper to go via Singapore on Scoot than fly direct.

    I will be getting in the Furfys and setting up camp in front of the telly.

    If anyone is going to make the drive over, I'll gladly tag along and split all costs. We don't have to sit together or anything. Just get me into the state of WA and back and you'll never have to look at me again.

    Do you have a licence?

    We need at least 3 rotating the 4-hour driving shifts.  We need to stop at Iron [censored].  It is a must see, even in the dark.

    Do you know what supply-demand is?  If you did, you would be less outraged.

    I wish I had the time to drive. 

    I’m so mad about this. It’s not like I can’t afford to pay for the flights, but honestly it’s just a complete ripoff. How can I justify spending over a $1000 on flights when I spent just under double that on flights to Europe earlier this year. It’s a joke. 

    Also how this first world country has no interstate fast rail network is a disgrace.

    Must be high demand to charge those prices, may also include those flying from Melb with a stopover in Adelaide.

    OK.  2 driving references and your in.

    We need 2 more idiots.  I provide car.  Don't know if it has takata airbags?

     

    We can watch all our wins in full this year during the 36 hour drive.

    Elvis's old plane hasn't been used in a while.

    Why not get our right-wingers to contact 'the great man' about using Airforce One?

    The AFL need to step here with Virgin being a sponsor... Capped prices for members. And more planes!

    When the siren went last night my first thought was “I am going to Perth come he’ll or highwater”. 45 minutes later the chances went to 70% when briefly looking at this. After speaking with my mate who is only sort of keen that went to 50-50 and after sleeping on it I reckon I’m a 30 % chance to go. I can not get the leave on Fri and it is just a massive goddamn amount to fork out for what is not guaranteed to end well. And then if we somehow make it to the next week, that’s another $1000 outlay most likely.

    i wish like hell it was a bit easier. Adelaide or Sydney and it’s a no brainer but I think this might just be a bridge too far unfortunately.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
