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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
