Thought it would be nice to have a thread to discuss / organise / troubleshoot travelling for games this season.

Although there is some self interest... I'm planning on going to Round 16 at Traeger Park, NT.Ā  Anybody got a crystal ball for likely game date?Ā  It'll have to be between 29 June and 2 July (rip for those of us pinned down by EOFY).

Who else has travel plans?

You'd have to think it's either Saturday or Saturday night (1/7) or Sunday (2/7). Most likely Sunday afternoon. I can't see it being on Thursday or Friday night.

Yes, definitely what I'm hoping for!Ā  And what I'm booking based on.Ā  Feels a bit safer to do so knowing we're against the Giants.

P.S. really like the fancy new double quote feature, nice update!

Ā 

If I do any interstate games this year I'd like it to be the Alice game rather than the Chuckle Brothers live circus in Adelaide. Would probably just away for the weekend and have a look around as well.

You best bet is probably walking to the Pullman Hotel and ordering one from there. Brunton Avenue is closed for a long period after the game and cars can't really stop on Punt Rd and it's bumper to bumper there anyway after the game.

Thanks Andy.Ā 
makes it difficult for a night game for me, but i will look into it

At the moment, I am planning to hook up The Manor's glampervan and drive to Alice for the game. However, if Melbourne's weather is really depressing around that time , I may watch the game from Thailand - possibly in the company of The mayor of Bangkok @Sir Why You Little!

A question though. If I do go to Alice, can I simply produce my membership card to gain admission, or must I make some sort of booking?

Heading to Gather Round and planning to see 6 games including a random Freo V GC game on a Friday arvo at Norwood.

A Dees win and a Freo loss would make for a pretty damn good footy road trip.

Might head to the Sydney game in round 24 or interstate final (if we're travelling) later in the year to use up some flight credits.

Have a flight credit I need to use, thinking either GC or North in Tasmania.Ā

The Mobile Manor!Ā  Very impressive... or slightly intimidating maybe

Based on the Dee Army website, I suspect we have to purchase general admission but other than that there are no seats unless prearranged with the venue / brought of your own volition

Also, name change for Metricon Stadium. It’s now known as ā€œHeritage Bank Stadiumā€ for anyone else who might have panicked like I did when I got an email referencing my attendance at Heritage Bank Stadium and thought I’d left a match out. So many interstate games in the first half of the season it becomes very confusing.Ā 


Curse this incomplete fixture bs. Great flight prices must go begging unless we’re prepared to take a chance booking without yet knowing the day/time of matches.Ā

Already bitten the bullet and booked flights and accommodation for Alice Springs game. I will curse from the top of Mt Bulla if I miss out on a ticket to the game. I'm not sure what part of making this harder than it ever should be the AFL doesn't get. I missed out completely last year because of fixturing times and the lack of accommodation when I finally knew when the game was on. Oh and the AFL are indicating the fixture Rnd 16 - 22 will be announced after Rnd 10.

Mr Spurs if you don't mind, in future please refer to Mt Buller as Mt Buller! May I add it is looking splendid today.

Booked flights for the nth game in Hobart. It's more of an excuse to go to Tassie for a few days. Can't wait.

Get some whiskey into ya!

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. Ā We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's Ā six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.Ā
