Luckily for me South Australians are now able to travel to WA without quarantining,

If we do make the GF the only issue would be potentially travelling with a plane full of Port Adelaide Supporters, basically hell on an aircraft.

 

For information travel from SA would be fine, I got the approval this evening for the Preliminary Final.

That’s right, that’s why my hotel can be cancelled and my flights  changed with no change fee due to COVID-19 restrictions/outbreaks.

I have booked a hotel in Perth to quarantine. Not sure of logistics beyond this, but as a MFC/MCC Premium Member I get a guaranteed GF Ticket. I  intend to use it.....  even if I am stuck in a hotel for one week or even two.  Who is joining me?

I don't think their premier is letting anyone in. Can't even have Neitz or Barassi just incase to present the cup.


I'm a WA member without a Grand final guarantee ticket, though I did enquire it earlier in the year.

I'm betting on the normal percentage allocation for supporters will be in far excess of all WA demon members and I should get my tickets with the family. My tigers mate got tickets to the Tigers v GWS GF by also being a GWS member as it was so cheap. They couldn't fill their quota. 

 

Just bought flights to Perth from Cairns. Then found out Qld is still on WA's naughty Covid list, despite the distance of no-case Cairns to Southeast Queensland being about the same as Norway to Portugal. Back to Darwin for a couple weeks, I think. 

Just saw on the news that since “it’s harder to get a GF ticket than a ticket to Willy Wonka’s” some astute Western Australians have found a loophole. They can purchase an MFC membership with a GFG! Apparently 300 of these memberships have been bought today.

Was pretty sure memberships aren't on sale anymore. You sure this wasn't a sangroper pulling your leg? (via the news)

 

"IF" we make it to the GF in Perth, it's going to be super-important that one way or another we can get as many Demons fans at the ground on the day.

Say we're playing Port and the SA/WA border is open, just imagine how many Port fans will flood into WA and overwhelm our supporters.

Not to our advantage but then again, it could make the premiership even sweeter.

Nah, legit news item. The reporter spoke to a guy who’d just bought one.

Besides, aren’t memberships always available for purchase?

Posted this on another thread, maybe better suited here. Maybe there’s a chance for some of us to get there for the prelim mb. I hope I heard right on the news earlier when they said as of Monday Victorians can enter WA as long as they’ve had one shot of the vaccine. Didn’t hear any other details though.

That is incorrect Lord, i called up yesterday and the GF Guarantees and Interstate memberships priority 2 are being bought up big style by people in WA.

Wouldn't suprise me if Port supports are exploiting this too.

The only thing standing in Port supporters way is the $1200 (currently) airplane tickets plus.

There is a loop hole for sure. I've never tried driving from Adel to Perth but i have heard its a long 3 day process.

Hmmm methinks it is wise for me to not watch the news while doing a crossword, chatting on the phone and all the while not even in the same room as the TV 

😁

Oh its true its damn true WCW.

We've gotta get past a Prelim first....

I'm keeping my powder very dry right now but so much of this thread reads like we're a dead certainty!

Not today, dementia. Not today!

And have to quarantine for two weeks, of course. And on the news they said also a permit is required. This is probs all moot now since today we (Vic) were raised to high risk status by WA so it’ll probably be even harder.

Thanks. Damn..thought some were a sneaky chance of heading over for next week as I didn’t hear anything about still requiring to quarantine. Oh well…back on the couch.

To answer the question in the OP I'm pretty sure Pert already answered this (or a members email) saying the GF guarantee tickets are strictly non-transferable meaning you cannot buy one and pass it on. Of course there are probably ways around this but I assume the main reason is to stop scalping (what's to stop members buying a ticket and then selling it at an exorbitant price and then claiming they gave it to a "friend"?)

The plus side is if you are a member and can attend in WA you should be able to get a ticket as the majority of MFC members would live in Melbourne and so we would be unlikely to fill the quota of MFC member allotments for the GF in Perth.

I confirmed in writing as did Brownie they are not transferable. You can get a refund for the GFG portion

I've driven from Perth to Gippsland in a bit over 2.5 days in a ****ty ute with a full load

Have the GFG but flights from Hobart to Perth are currently $1600 return. Could fly to Adelaide for $300 return then road trip. What an adventure that would be.

You might need to define "a full load"

No cert, as I said "IF".

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
