Hi Everyone, after watching us unfurl our beautiful flag Wednesday night, I am heading up to the Coast the following week to watch us play the Suns. Is there any reason why I should pay for a premium ticket rather than just general admission? Should I drive to the ground? Any other hints about visiting Metricon would be much appreciated. Cheers

    Enjoy Wednesday night BD….wish I could be there too!

    there’s usually no problems parking at Metricon if you want to drive - the car park is across the road from the stadium and you can usually buy a car park pass prior to the match. display it on your dash as you approach the car park. There’s normally pretty good signage for the car park.

    not sure about premium v general admin but if you’re not under cover make sure to take sunscreen and a hat if you’re planning on getting there early before the sun goes down! ☀️

    There's usually a pre-match function. I've attended functions at Royal Pines Resort and Emerald Lakes GC. Both within walking distance to the ground.  I think the latter is more likely to be the venue if there is a function. I've tried phoning the club but have not got through.

    Close to a dozen of us travelling up from the Surfcoast.

    I'm also heading up for this game, taking the family up for the weekend  but attending the game on my own.  I'm happy to hear any advice RE parking, ticketing etc...

    My primary school aged son and I did this trip back in 2016? when we kicked 16 goals in the second half. Metricon is a fair way out of the Gold Coast. Back then (probably still the same), your ticket allowed for public transport to/from the ground. Given we left it a bit late, we caught a taxi out to the ground to watch the game. Great ground, it feels a lot fuller than crowd numbers suggested. We got tickets through the club (upper level, great view and friendly neighbours). My boy and I had a kick on the ground after the game for what seemed like ages to let the queue for the buses die down a bit (and it was fun!) and then caught a bus/tram back to the hotel . Great atmosphere on the public transport with multiple renditions of the song. My boy loved the weekend and I'm sure is keen to go back

    I'll be coming down from Brisbane for the game and get a free ticket with my Interstate Membership. If staying on Gold Coast I would get a bus from Broadbeach on the Gold Coast Highway outside the Pacific Fair shopping centre. You can get a tram there if you are staying a fair way from Broadbeach. In my experience at Metricom GA tickets are normally good as in most cases not big crowds go to Sun's games.

    Been there a couple of times.

    Best to catch the bus from Pacific Fair with plenty of parking.  There is none at the ground and what is available down the road is limited.  

    The bus ride is an entertaining ride through the cow paddocks to the ground, and full of singing Demons fans afterward ( since there are no local SUNS fans)

    I'm staying at Royal Pines because I like the short walk around to the ground and back. Will be having some drinks at the Tees clubhouse before heading around. The Kebabs at Metricon are a pretty good dinner!!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
