Anyone going to these games?

I would go to the brissy game but pre booking tickets for a practice match seems a bit silly.

 

So much for tickets to a practice game dl4e!

Melb vs Brisbane has sold out !!!

That Old Melb history of being able to turn up on the night or day and get a seat is a part tiingnif the past.

Can I suggest that the Blockbuster Anzac Eve vs Tigers and Queens Birthday vs Pies games be treated with greater urgency if you want seats in specific locations in the ground.

in other words start getting your act together as both will be 80,000 plus I imagine!

Our home game vs Bombers in Round 3 is also another get your ticket if you aren't a member or get there early.anyway.

Cheers and here's to three great games in anticipation.

oh and let's not forget JLT  on Mar 3.

Great TV viewing on Fox!!!

 

 

I'm thinking of heading to the Shepparton game as I have family in the area. Will I really need to pre-purchase tickets to a praccy match?

I find that hard to believe...

Agree... perhaps 58er is talking seats.... only 320 or thereabouts at Casey.

The capacity is around 10k which should make for a bonanza day for the egg and bacon roll sellers !!

10,000 at Casey??? Does that include people stuck in their cars because the approach roads and car park can't handle more than 500 cars?

 

Casey you should be able to just turn up I've been to the last few pre season games there and usually get about 5000.....pro tip park in one of the nearby estates and walk to avoid a traffic nightmare!

I would Bondi.

Shepp is footy mad and there are a hell of a lot of Richmond and Melbourne supporters in the region. 

And the grounds capacity is limited.  One local I spoke to thought it would be a sell-out. 

 


Re the sellout I went to the bookin link and it stated that tickets were all sold.

Perhaps  a call to the Club would be best to get advice. Yes It is not really feasible that the whole ground is sold out but no way either will they get 12,000 in at Casey based on previous crowds of say 6,000.

Ground will have a safety net of say 8,000 or similar I imagine and then say Sold Out.

As I live in Qld won't be in town that weekend so no real problem for me but hope the game is worthy of a sellout with both Clubs treating it with seriousness.

Sound like something weird with the website when I clicked on the link it didn't say sold out....I'd be surprised if they'd sold 1000 tickets to a practice match this far out let alone a sellout

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    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?
