Mad a car trip from north east Vic to the Gabba for the game, just wondering what tickets we buy to make sure we are with other Melbourne supporters???

I'm sitting in a GA area so assume I'll be surrounded by Lions fans....

I guess the best spot would be the cheer squad, but not sure if they would be available?

He's 27 years old and isn't locked in the best 22 even if fit after 7 years. It's a major head scratcher why he's still on the list when he can't even get on the park by now.

Anyhoo I'm hoping we give May another week off to ensure his calf is 100%. Petty, Lever, Tomlinson are more than capable enough without him, and Gawn and others float back to help too. We need May cherry ripe for our assault on the flag later this year.

Not being a lock in a defence that includes May, Lever, Petty, Salem, Rivers and Brayshaw is hardly a reason for delisting.

David Astbury played in 24 games in five years from 2011-2015 and then played in three flags.

He is a cheap list filler, that has versatility and will probably be a lot better than pick 900 in the draft.

I think his ability to play back and forward and his athleticism is what's kept him on the list.

The Demon Army website has some info about tickets but you're probs best placed ordering via Ticketmaster (since the Try Booking link to register interest might not be monitored this late).  Section 211? 213? are cheersquad zones :)

Fact or conjecture??

I understand it to be fact (from someone close enough to it all to trust).

Having said that, he is on the plane so either someone is playing games with me or the club is playing games with Brisbane! We’ll know in about 28 hours.

Tickets we were allocated that remained unused were sent back to the Club this morning. Your best bet would be to call the Club. Good luck with that though.

My DA BFF/ticketing expert is looking to see if there’s any other option for you, Josh. Watch this space. 👍🏽

We’re in Bay 213. There’s GA tickets which allow you to sit wherever but if you get there early as possible you can sit in our Bay. No oppo supporters, understandably. Not sure if there’s still any GA tickets available. I’d say there would be since the NRL match will attract more people. But if there’s no GA available, your last resort is to ring the Club.

This is right DP, all DA-allocated tickets that weren’t booked were returned to the Club this morning. However, if someone does buy a GA ticket and gets there early they’re very welcome to sit in our Bay or the bay next to ours. Strictly Dees fans only, of course.

Please do the right thing and contact Action Jackson asap Walking and let him know about this arrangement.

It's a win win as his 24 hour plus wait will be worthwhile plus he won't just keep the seats in your bay warm.... they'll be red hot by the time the game starts! 👍🏻

Before it's all said and done I'd love to see Joel get a shot up forward. I've still got that 2019 pre season form in my head. 

I have been saying this forever😉 When is the team announced??

His athletic ability would be such a weapon for our team but unfortunately we just barely see it due to injury.

Feel for him and fingers crossed he can get a good run at it.

He is athletic once on the move Dazzle but i watched him closely against the Hawks last season and he was easily beaten to the drop of the ball on most occasions and unable to kill the ball very often aside from the occasional big bombs.

I think some are fooled by his running / athletic capability when he gets some momentum but off the mark he's well behind many forwards with any sort of speed over the first few meters.

I reckon some opps might know this also and would look to exploit this weakness, especially by looking to go through any forward with even a bit of decent burst on the lead.

Thanks for the info mate. We were planning on just rocking up and buying tickets 🤷🏽‍♂️ we have a country family membership but not sure that'll help with a Gabba game. Either way we'll be there

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 The premiership defender had a below par season after looking the goods as a key forward before injury ended his 2023 season. It’s unclear as to where he will be playing in the coming season as some of the club’s established defensive talls near the end of their careers.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
