OK, the positive:

Feeling a little chuffed as I have managed to arrange a site visit in Perth on the 23rd of March which means I will be able to get along to round 1 on the Sunday!  My first interstate game which hopefully is a good omen

The negative:

As I was going to be in Perth anyway I tried to just book a ticket through TM but none were available.  In the end I have booked through a link on the club's website and have signed up for a flight, accommodation and ticket package.    all seems a little too controlled for my liking.

Anyway - V excited - Go Dees!!

 

Interesting about the ticketing. I suspect that WCE like the Crows pretty well sell out their stadiums. That combined with the reserved seat revenue ensures that both are financial powerhouses.

Good luck

Gee sold out this far in advance??......whats the ground capacity again?

Lucky boy.

Hopefully you'll get the round 22 2018 experience as opposed to the 2018 prelim version.

They got 60K to both of their 2018 finals.

Nice work Salem's Lot. 

Very envious.

You might like to call out to our WA Landers for a beer or two

According to the Optus Oval website,  general admission tickets are on sale from 28th of February. Even though this is round one I doubt it will be a complete sell out. Our last game there in May 2019 was only about 70% full. Capacity is over 60,000 I believe. I’ll buy one if I can’t get a ticket through my membership.

For our Round 22 2018 match I purchased a premium ticket on the WC Members wing on a ticket reseller website and loved every single minute of it. Best day of football I've ever been to listening to those whingers whinge all day. Worth every overpriced cent I spent. Will only be topped by a Premiership.

How lucky you were. I was at the prelim, and had the complete opposite experience to you.

So if you can make this a business trip you can claim it all as a tax expense. I'm looking at engaging an accountant in Brisbane at the moment for the same reason. ?

I attempted this but both @Ethan Tremblay & @McQueen bailed on me. :P

Well in my defence, after the round 22 win I was in Club 92 (eagles premium lounge) hanging [censored] on Trevor Nisbett. 
And the preliminary? I’d bailed from the ground at halftime. 
 

Next time without fail. ?

Ah! so i went early, funny that.  Never mind, my meeting is with the guys who built the stadium who reckoned that tickets for Weagles games were always scarce.  I definitely did not want to miss out!

Unfortunately for you I'm never going back to that rats nest. Prelim scarred me. I'm still deathly afraid of rubber inflatable eagles.

Would you like milk and sugar with that cup of concrete?


Mixing with at 50K + disappointed West Coast supporters after the game would be a beautiful thing.

He couldn't get you tickets?

Or at least tell where the secret entry is?

No, that was the first thing I asked but he said if if was a Freo game it would have been easy. Not so much for Weagles. At least this way I will hopefully be sitting with Demons

Most Eagles games are betw 50,000 and 56,000.

in 2019 From memory our crowd was about 51 500 odd.
 

I would expect about 53,000 Or certainly no More than 55,000 but it is an opening round.

Good luck Whoever goes and enjoy the game snd day 

They are by far the biggest whingers and biased crowd in the AFL do if we Knock  'rm off We will have earned it.

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
