    With the country family membership you get one free ticket (per family member) to an interstate game in which Melbourne is playing. This is that one game?

    Regardless, try to get to the ground really early and if you have an issue PM me and I’ll see if my DA BFF can do something to help. 

    I used mine for this one but Josh can use his at the Suns game.

    Need a big night from the local Brissy Demons as the Lion players are gonna come after HP big time i reckon.

    Likely to get pretty willing early me thinks and he'll be a target throughout the match.

    Hope the boys are mentally prepped for this to happen

    Unfortunately, I can’t see a big crowd there tomorrow night. The new NRL team (the Dolphins) are 3-0 in this, their inaugural season. They play the Broncos at the same time as our match. I imagine that game will pull a big crowd. I reckon many Lions fans who would otherwise attend our match will probably choose to attend the NRL game.

    Well just like Beard in this forum who predicted all doom and gloom about our crowd last week vs Bullies ( a very respectable 48,103 with at  least  38,000 or more Dees fans ) WCW the fact is nearly all tickets have been sold. On AFL 360 Monday night GW mentioned that over 30,000 tickets had already been sold and only 2,000 remained. 

    While no doubt there are some fans that attend both codes there is not necessarily a huge crossover on nights like this. Also a reasonable % of the sold out Lang Park crowd are new team Dolphins new fans as it is their home game. Broncos fans have ensured its capacity of about 53,000 reached no doubt. ( 3 weeks ago the Dolphins drew 34,000 to their opening game at Suncorp I believe) 

    WCW Brisbane's population is over 2 million people and if you add Gold and Sunshine Coasts at least 2.75 million. They are very enthusiastic about quality sport in their city even though their Test Cricket crowds are probably  behind Adelaide and Perth. 

    All in all about 85,000 could attend both games tonight so that is  equivalent to the 86,000 Which attended the Cats/Pies blockbuster last Friday night. 

    Pretty damn good for about half of Melbourne's population. 

    The  wash up of fans could well be  Broncos 30,000 Lions 29,000 Dolphins 23,000 and Dees 2/3,000. 

    A balmy 25deg is predicted at first bounce just hot enough for you to be on top voice WCW and our team in peak form to trounce the home team who generally are not tough enough against our champion bulls on the ball. 

    PS I have lived in Brisbane 30 years on 28 April (which it has doubled its population in that time ) after moving for work in 1993. 

    Didn't stop me from being at the G last Sat to enjoy one of the best and most enthusiastic Demon crowds support our team and start their redemption ride in 2023 for the 2023 Flag. 

    Go Dees and HP will be alright .

    Thanks 58er. Got our Fisherman’s Friends and Red Bulls and we’ll be good to go. I’ll probs be delirious by game time since I haven’t slept. But a second wind will work wonders (maybe a 9th or 10th wind🥴).

    Cut to me nana-napping at quarter time using a flogger as a pillow😁

    GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!!

    Pulled from the website information;

    Interstate members can apply for 1 free ticket to a game in their state if Melbourne is scheduled to participate.

     

    Considering we live in Victoria I assume that means either Etihad (or whatever it's called now) or Skilled Stadium (or what ever that's called now 🤦🏽‍♂️)

     

    Ah well looks like we are lining up 😂

    You live in country Victoria. In regards to your membership It’s the same as being an interstate member. So that doesn’t apply to Marvel, nor the ‘G (you get to attend five matches at the ‘G anyways). So this match is an option for you.

    WCW and I and the rest of the Demon Army will be down by the goal (near section 211 and 213)!  Come join us 😁

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.
